Really crapppy pictures the seller posted, but from what I can glean it suggests ristampo....
Price too suggests reprint.
Keep searching...

Check back on the past few week's Hodinkee — I think they tagged this one as a "buyer beware." The lettering looks a little blurry to me.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new member, my name is Alfredo and I live in Italy
I collect vintage chronographs with a steel case

The dial of this 13zn is reprinted ... in fact do not exist in the '40s and '50s Longines dials with telephone notches ...

Cheers

Agree with others. Looks too clean, likely redial. I'd email the seller and ask for high resolution version and zoom in closer.

I agree with the consensus, and would add that the Chrono24 "magnification" system is the worst. I have never bought a watch through the site, and largely for that very reason. Watermarks on large, clear photos, I can deal with, but not that ridiculous system.

I am willing to buy off of some of those who advertise on Chrono24, but only if I can contact them directly and receive large, clear images.

Do you think it will help if I write the Doctor for some large, clear images?😁
