    Still looking for my first vintage watch and came across this.

    Can anyone identify if this is a redial?
    Is this watch good for a first vintage watch?

    Thank you!

    Could be the beer I've had but the 3 & 9 are not in the same plane. Please forgive spelling here.

    The dial looks ok to me, but I'm no zenith expert. I find it odd that it's marked t Swiss t but I can't see any lume on the dial.

    there is lume - tiny dots at the outer end of the hour batons, and inserts in the hands. It's grotty, so it doesn't stand out.

    I don't think it's a redial, and the movement looks clean and rust free, but the dial is in sub-par condition around the edges.

    Re-dial or not, the OP's dial is not in very good condition. The simple three hand Zeniths are not hard to find in good condition and not expensive.
