Any thoughts on this beautiful zenith compax?

I belive it is a,redial but the seller is high profile and claim it is fully original

my point is the dial balance is weird, the fonts size is not consistent, the subdial is beyond the tachymeter scale while there is a break point of the tachymeter scale outside at 12oclock which is never seen on a vintage chrono

Interesting observation. At first glance I thought legit but now I have some doubts. Here are some - slighty later as in 7xxk - comps. Somebody here once introduced the '55' test. The RB one is doubtful on that... (Too bad the seller blurred most of the serial.)

I looked it up on the site. It says to match the 2 fives in 55 on the 60 second track. I also noticed that the 5 in Fifteen doesn’t match.

Thanks, got.And moreover,if you look into the dialw,there seem to be more inconsistent numerals🙁

As the sub dials are recessed, my guess would be a partially refinished dial.

The 5’s are simply off
