    Hey guys,

    Looking for a little xmas present for myself and spotted this from a reputable seller.

    Does it look legit?

    Do you happen to know the Ref No for this model?


    Thanks!

    Looks like a total franken to me; caseback is not signed, case looks much much newer than the dial, dial looks like it's been refinished, and I guess the crown is generic... I'd stay away If I was you.

    But if you like it and don't care about originality buy it!

    Every single claim made by @rahilb is dubious.

    The watch appears genuine. The case is signed on the back; the crown is signed; and the dial does not appear to have been refinished.

    This was a Swedish market watch ("Stotsaker" on the case back means shockproof).

    The seller does price high, including this one, but I see no evidence that it is misrepresented.

    Regards,

    Tony C.

    Ok, Thanks for the information.

    Unfortunately I know very little about Zenith so I had to take rahilb at face value.

    Rarebirds does certainly have a good reputation i.e. always on Hodinkee etc so I was surprised at Rahilbs comments.

    When there is such contradictory information, it's better to put things out on the table for comments.
    Great Tony came along!
    Cheers!

    I guess I should have waited to see the rest of the pictures.

    Isnt the inside case back usually signed?
