Hello all,
I was perusing through the internets and I saw a watch that looked like mine called the Zenith A386. Mine does not have the tri-color dial like that one, but it looks similar. It does have that "Mark I" case that you talk about, but a 232 serial number which seems higher and it doesn't have the plain case back, but the 4 point star.
From what I can gather the dial is the A788.
So, how did I get possession, and why Frankenstein? Well, my dad was a Zenith rep back in the 1970's and about 20 years ago I came across a few of his watches in a safe, likely haven't been touched since 1970's. As a 20 yo I liked the ladder bracelet on this case and everything, but I preferred the blue dial so my Uncle, who was an authorized Rolex rep, had them swapped. I guess you can call my watch "bespoke."
Anyway, I'm looking for any additional information or feedback you can provide. Unfortunately, both my father and uncle have passed.
I can take more photos if needed.
Thanks a bunch.

 

Hi
in your watch only the dial is wrong for to be a correct Zenith A3818
Serial numbers in caseback are re-engraved

GIGI,
Thank you for your help. So you think the watch is an A3818?
I've attached another shot of the back.
Thanks again.
