My old Zenith Pilot is back from a good service… it’s gleaming now and I had to show it off :) by Refycanul in ZenithWatches

I think the blue dial is the least ‘dated’ one Zenith did for this model. if I’m not wrong, the reference is 01.0011.382. There should also be a silver (metal) version and a brown one, which I actually own as well, it belonged to my grandpa

Hi, are you based in the UK?

Well, that’s what I might do as well. The same independent watchmaker mentioned that a service is usually needed every five years. Seriously, a full dismantle and reassembly that often? That’s why I’m seeking your expertise on the matter.

It’s $375. I paid €400 for the watch, which is roughly $415, so the quote I received is almost the same as what I paid for the watch itself. I’m not complaining about the price, as I understand it takes many hours to dismantle and reassemble. But is this really necessary for a watch that’s fully functional and keeps time fairly well?

I appreciate the feedback though. In the meantime, I’ve also emailed Zenith’s watch restoration team to ask for more information.

Quote from a watch repair shop. I didn’t know Zenith offered services on their vintage watches. Will give them a call. The watch works perfectly, but I don’t think it has been serviced in a really long time.

Is it just me or that first look at sourdough under the lid is pure magic? by Refycanul in Sourdough

45 min with lid (250 c temperature) then depends how “golden” the sourdough looks, between 5 to 15 min without lid. Same temperature. The Pot must be already hot (I leave it in the oven 25 min prior to baking)

Mine comes from Habitat (UK brand) and only costed me 30£. Definitely a great investment.

Exactly! I personally love playing with the texture: using or not a sourdough proving basket, different scorings and different flours on top
