Good day Gentlemen,

How does this one looks to you ? I've doubts about the "Captain" and the tritium at 10, 11. Seller got offended when I asked if it was a redial. Anyone with the same model to compare ?

 

Looks redial to me.

 

To my eye, slightly off. The location where Captain is spelt seems odd, considering most are in bottom half of dual. It does appear this way on a couple of watches though.

Comparison:



And (this one is probably refinished, however same style)



Also:

 

I've doubts about the C of Captain and the A

His :


the Ebay one:


another:


But he said he cannot see any difference in the typography

 

The C on captain was drawn by a geriatric.

 

And that 11 o'clock is a dead giveaway - either the lume job was bad or marker repositioning was bad.

 

He said it was because of the Plexi... Where did you get the first pic ? From him ?

 

Some watch site where they were advertising the watch...I just googled "Zenith Captain Bumper" and browsed the images.

 

yes looks like 4 or 5 websites tried to sell it before him

 

How much are they asking?

 

Websites 900€, him 750€

 

More pics



and last but not least

 

I wonder if they "cleaned" the Captain off when they cleaned the mouldy water damage above the 6, & just added it above.
The dial is way too ugly for that money, IMO.

 

Clearly a different typography like the other ones I've found.. Thanks

 

How does the movement look.

 

He did not post and he is not open to discussion anymore so I'm pretty sure he knows and is not honest about it.

 

I'm pretty sure the dial has been cleaned/washed at some point. I don't think it's a complete redial.

 

The word Captain is very badly done, very crud. It is not correct, Zenith never would have done this.
