OK. So here is one example. I have been dithering over this one that didn't sell last time on eBay. Every other time I look at it, I think "yes, I'll go for it". Every other time it's "no, it's not right". I'll throw this open now because I'm just not sure and currently don't think I'll go for it - that's different from a couple of hours ago.

It is either dodgy or the deal of the century. Granted that it isn't much cash and the slight imperfection in the word Zenith on the dial is what makes me think that it is a re-dial sometimes and it isn't at other times.
Rossler mentions, briefly, calibres before the 135 that had been chronometre tested but doesn't show pictures. I have got a 106-6 that has a silvered sub-dial and white face, but it's not that silver. I also have two genuine Zeniths (3 if you count the Bresancon watch) that do not have Swiss Made on the dial but they are from 1945 and 1964. This one is from 1949 (ish)
If I'm wrong, then this one is rarer than $h1t from a rocking horse.
