Thanks, I allready bought it. Will buy the locking crown kit and bringt it to new life. Exiting to have a watch, that maybe was used by a WWII pilot.

Watch arrived, small little gem 馃槈 I am just a bit confused of the Zenith back? I read somewhere they used the same cases...but with the brand name inside? Can this be correct?

Those were indeed the same cases but of course the Zenith case back is not correct.
With military watches swaps might have occurred during service at the hands of military watchmakers 鈥攂ut then it all depends how much you paid for it and what the seller said?
What is the provenance and who is the seller, and how did they portray the watch?
It鈥檚 still a lovely watch but there鈥檚 a potential value impact.

Ouch,
Wrong back is Indeed a bad news. If it wasn't mentionned by the seller and the price didn't take this into account, you could consider claiming to the seller.

Price was great, I wouldn't argue with the seller cause of that 馃槈 I just had the same mixed stuff with Type 20 chronos. They changed everything with everything, hoping it will run again.

Anything else you see that is questionable?

Thanks Nico

If the price was great, I'd say well done... Very cool vintage eyecatcher. 馃榾

Posted the watch at MWR. Seems the Zenith caseback is, as I thought, the wrong one to the watch. But, fingers crossed, a guy wrote me with a Zenith Weems and Omega caseback. Bezel lock is also ordered, so I am pretty sure I will preserve this gem how it should be.

Love that you put this on a Bonklip, if I had the style of watch to do one I would, but my Mil watches are all US...so pigskin or fabric for mine.

On to the ever growing want list it goes.

What kind of bracelet is that btw? Very fitting!

Cheers,

Very nice!
And amazing someone had the same situation the other way around with a Zenith watch and Omega case back?
Did that pan out too?
