I'm a sucker for vintage Zenith watches with odd shapes. My latest acquisition is a NOS rectangular Zenith with 2572pc movement (01.0040.380):![]() The wax was still on the back and sides. I got most of it off, but the rest is a little stubborn. Any suggestions on how to best remove it (other than my fingernail or a toothpick)? ![]() Despite being on the original bracelet, the only way to adjust the size is on the clasp and my wrist is just too big. I thought I would have to put a strap on it, but fortunately Scott (Timesofplenty) reminded me I could always just use a clasp extender. ![]() Sure enough, that did the trick: ![]() I even managed to find a picture of it in an old Zenith catalog from 1974... ![]() Finally on the wrist! ![]() Thanks for stopping by! Mike

Lovely vintage vibe to this Zenith. Gotta love that 70's Retro yet Futuristic feel. Cool piece. BTW you can use nail polish remover to remove you NOS remnants.

Really cool vintage: Congrats! Funny Franco-English misshaped translation on your paper with "glace minérale trempée" as "glace" in French is used for "ice" or commonly for "mirror". It should be "verre minéral trempé" in fact...
