I'm assuming these are replicas but it is pretty neat that they are auctioning off all of the props from the show, including Hannibal's watches. There are two different Zenith El Primeros being auctioned. Thoughts? They immediately looked like reps to me but I'm not too familiar with Zenith watches (and didn't think El Primeros came as autos).

Watch One:

The movements on the linker pictures do not look Gen. But to your other remark: El Primeros are allways self-winder. The Name ("the first one") refers to the fact that these movements were the first automatic chronograph-movements at all. A couple of weeks before Breitling introduced its first automatic chrono-movement.
