I've got this Zenith 1975 cal 2572C. It has Shantung technique processed face according to Rössler's book (page 185).

My first and my one and only Zenith. This one has alleged military provenance. I've seen some fine examples of these on these forums. This one has quite interesting patina as the radium has spread across the chocolaty dial.

A bit of a mystery here: Time only piece with a Cal 106 from 1947.

This is why Zenith was not permitted to sell in the USA just post WWll. Participating in the transgression!

Zenith Cal 146D. I'm thinking of changing the dial to a NOS and keep the original. Good idea?

This one came last week after an extensive hunt. I'm still amazed...

Amazing! I love two register Zenith Chronos. 🥰

And @seedo - keep the dial. (on the watch) 👍

It has great character, as is. I like the patinated look. 👍 I would keep it on the watch, but it's yours to do as you wish...

Here's my 146D:

Wow yours is a NOS? I'm still considering changing the dial. Mine is a full set, complete with strap, buckle, box and warranty card. That's why I'm considering changing the dial.

Yeah initially I thought of changing becoz the top left water damage was a little distracting for me but after wearing it, it just look amazingly beautiful.
