but the price is really quite crazy for something that probably has a market value of less than 5k usd without the provenance. What do you think?

And funny enough it seems to be coming from the same batch or similar batch vs. the 143-6 EP Zenith for Yugoslavian Airforce.

 

People need to have their dreams.

 

Well I would if it is like 1/7th of the price

 

I don't like the look of those subdials. Or the subdial hands. Refinished?

 

True, and here are some pictures for comparison

 

Shouldn't OPs watch have lume plots with the lumed hands?

Silver hands and gold figures?

I think it was refinished and the Ferrari logo added...

 

Apologies, you are right let me take some pics from syrte's thread

 

Here you go, @LouS 2 of them are your pics. One is KVQN and one is Rman. The silver dials for more Apple to Apple comparison

 

The price is insane. 18k Gold Heuer ref 1158 Carrera examples which were presented to Ferrari drivers and crew members by Jack Heuer, with dedications have sold for the low $20,000-30,000. I love this watch but...as was said...people need to have their dreams. That said, sometimes dreams come true.

That is why I said 1/7th of the price

 

Hi!
Sorry that I capture the thread for a question: The watches that @ELV web
posted from @LouS @KVQN and @Rman have different 3s on the dial. On the subdials a round 3 and on the outer track a flat one. Is this normal for Zenith? The watch that @Dre posted the last days (patience is a virtue) has only flat 3s. However, some have a circle on the subdials where the 3 is round some not where the 3 is flat. Are there any rules? Currently, I consider a watch with a flat 3 on the outer track, a round 3 on the subdials but without a circle there. Now I am confused if that execution is correct.
Thanks in advance!

 

It is correct for the 143-6 EP models, a good number of them were made in black dials. I will paste More links here.

The dial looks fantastic and I would vote for original. But my reservation would be that I have not seen a 156 caliber with rounded 3 in the subdial. @LouS should be able to verify as he probably has access to the largest hoard of orginal 156 in this forum.

 

Gorgeous watch but I wouldn't pay 75k for a car let alone a time piece. Next life maybe

 

Are the hands even correct in the OP? They look odd to me. Is there any indication there's any truth to the story?
Lots of red flags it seems....
