ZENITH ULTRA ULTRA PERFECT RARE SIGNED ZENITH CASE 16
SIZE, "RR-56"C.P.R. RAILROAD APPROVED 21 JEWELS NOT A SCRATCH ANYWHERE!!!!!!
1955
SOLD IN 48 HOURS !!!!
Peter Kushnir Was the master time keeper for C.P.R railroads and recently passed
away in Montréal (2018)...He told me the entire story of the Zenith RR as he
solely was responsible for bringing this piece into Canada for CPR serviced. I
wrote a published article about this model and here is a short part of it and it
was approved by Peter himself before he passed away... A master has died but his
legend is bigger than life!
Re Zenith pocket railroad extra RR ( a short excerpt from my article)
Peter Kushnir former CPR master watchmaker ordered 1000 Zenith pocket watches and were to be
delivered to him in 4 months. He designed with Zenith the movement and the dials
were to be 500 pieces Montgomery style enamel and 500 pieces Canadian dials with
the 24 hour inner Arabic numbers and those 24 hr dials were sent to the Canadian
west coast under the care of Vern Pickersgill I believe Winnipeg Manitoba.
I just was at Peters place (2018 in Montréal Quebec) and we discussed the
"RR-56"over an hour about Zenith and how he designed this movement. This is all in short
I will be writing a
complete essay shortly on the Zenith RR-56 extra pocket watch..
Cheers to all
Darlor watch... Darryl
PS I can email you the entire article with pleasure just Email me

For years and years I wanted an up and

and he would let me wind it up and on a side note he knew Mr Kushnir well
.
I am amazed how well this pocket watch
works! I have had this piece now for two weeks and still keeps perfect time,
Thank you for selling this piece to me.
I will pass this one down for many
generations to come.
Sincerely Robert G Williston B.C Canada
(My Reply)
Yes Peter Kushnir and myself were best friends and
sadly he passed away aprox 5 years ago and so did copious amounts of knowledge
went with him as he was a master's master watchmaker, though he did pass much
skills onto myself which has put me over the top and I still miss him and his
deep Ukrainian accent.
Be well and healthy in this new year
Darryl :-) |

WE UNDERSTAND "OLD SCHOOL" CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
289 241 3151 9 to 5
Eastern standard time pls
Hallo dear Darryl, I didn't believe my eyes,
about that torpedo boat watch. You are truly a magician.
I don't know what to say , how to thank you.
Some time ago, i brought the watch to a local
watchmaker here in Dorval Darryl, just to get his opinion if the watch
is indeed reparable.
He told me to forget it, he went on and told me
that the mainspring had imploded lost its footing so to speak and in the
process of the disastrous sudden unwinding, the spring somehow destroyed the
safety housing of the main spring , therefore the Anker of the mainspring
too had gone to hell in a hand basket so to speak Darryl.
So in all truth Darryl according to that local
watchmaker ,without the appropriate new parts, which are not obtainable
anymore, the watch was at it's. Point finale. I wish I could make this here
email available to many of your clientele. You repaired this rich in history
,second world war, navigational, Torpedo boat, chronometer. These fine and
highly accurate (the latest cry of watch making at the time) chronometers
served as the cornerstone in navigation on the high seas for the Americans
in there hunt for Japanese warships. so without exaggeration, the life's of
the marines depended on these fine outstanding time peaces.
Thank you so much Darryl.
And dear Darryl , please let me know what I owe
you, I insist.
Greetings to you Darryl, Klaus.
