    No zenith name and no Swiss markings. This is a foreign case, likely Latin America. I doubt the dial is original, too

    Original movement and original case, but not a Swiss case, and older redial in my opinion

    Thanks for that but the hands in the book are different than on the image of the watch shown here. If you look at the minute hand for example.
    You will see it is not a straight line as it moves towards the center but a curved one. Very subtle difference but not a Zenith hand that I have seen before for this period.

    Speaking generally, would not assume that Roessler images invariably represent original watches, no more than the images in Sala.

    I fully agree with Lou, especially when we talk about watches which were not assembled in Switzerland
