This is a 30CH 5966 with a 13zn movement and a brand new dial.

Perhaps you might tell us, (well, me anyway) what surprises you that someone bought this! Was it the price, or something about the watch, other than the new dial? Enquiring minds want to know.

Redial, polished case, incorrect hands.

@Seiji Are you certain that the 13ZN was not found in this reference/case? The serial number (quite late for a 13ZN) seems to make sense.

5966 is a Reference for 30CH. Every 5966 I have found in both Gold and Steel have been a 30CH. Without asking the museum, I can not be certain that this is a put together of incorrect parts.

Indeed many aspects point towards a put-together but the late serial number makes me wonder.
