    I cant 'find this dial anywhere else...

    Also mouvement number is only 6 digits...

    It has been estimated 400-600€ on catawiki

    Dial and case look awfully clean for a movement in that condition

    Btw another member has the same Avatar as you, @Fer Seamaster. Not sure if there any rules surrounding this but perhaps best to change yours to avoid any confusion.

    Unless of course you want to challenge him to a dual for the picture

    Any further shots of the crown? Looks slightly rusted.

    Like the new avatar btw ;)

    I wondered that too, as it looks like there's nothing under it. I figure it's just extra room for helium.

    Crown seems to be in the same condition than movement... Not original for sure as Zenith used only signed crowns back in 1970's.

    Replacement will not be expensive though

    Interesting as it does look rather flat from inside view

    I got the watch for 260€... so I do not expect a fully legit 1st class vintage watch.

    What I'm interested in is to know if the watch actually exists.::confused2::

    Case (probably re-plated) is one of the Sporto line of 1960's but the dial is unknown to me.

    What really concerns me is the pitiful state of the movement.

    What has caused the rhodium plating to be worn off in the way it has been? What has caused those parallel scratches across the line of the slot on the train bridge screw? What has happened to all of the debris caused by these two actions?

    Re-plated case or not (I'm guessing, not) the state of the movement is just inconsistent with the state of everything else. To me, it looks like someone has bought an old movement that was knocking around loose in a drawer for a few years and stuck it into a NOS case/dial/hands from eBay.

    Condition wise, the only things that seem to go together are the movement and the generic crown.
