    That's a nice watch. Pity it's been hyper-polished, but everything else looks very good.

    I think that the hands on the eBay example maybe have been incorrectly replaced.

    One is toss-up, two is a trend and three is a standard.

    Unless you know where to source these hands, I'd stay away.

    The other difference I can tell is that in my example, the lume is still present/has been relumed. Is there some other tell that I'm missing? ::confused2::

    No, you got it.

    It could be that the excess (re)lume might be able to be removed and redone properly.

    In other words, you could get lucky!

    I have one of these.
    Don't think it's a redial.
    Former member here sold one on ebay for like $3300
    a year ago head only.
    This is, of course, the elusive Power Reserve Conquest circa 1959.
    Beautiful piece, price is ambitious.
    Here's mine

    Oh, no worries, just when you have a chance! :whistling:

    A Conquest with intact fish medallion is at the very top of my wish-list...

    ...if the medallion were better on the Chrono24 one above, I would have already put in an offer... love the PR feature, too!

    Not to me... but I like it better than Daytonas that might sell for 10x that price.

    Here's another 13ZN from Argentina, this time in 18K YG. Worn dial, but still quite nice...

    I know almost nothing about these, but I DO know this one is just slightly ;) more affordable!

    Perhaps because its not the original case? I only say this, because I've heard that they do that a lot in South America...

    Authenticity comments on this one?

    The dial is an obvious and poor redial and that's a huge detractor from value. When it comes to 13zn's, the dial can be up to 70% of the value.

    Also the hands are incorrect. Probably a franken watch, though I can't completely rule out the case.

    Also (too) heavily polished.
