    I checked the internet for all Zenith Compax watches with Cal 156 movement but could not find anything with similar dial. Do you think that the dial was refinished?

    To me the number 10 seems a bit off.

    The owner sent some other pics. There seems to be a big gao between shop prices and sold ones on ebay. IMG-20171003-WA0029.jpg IMG-20171003-WA0033.jpg

    I do have similar dial, but it is an early compur. And there are no concentric circles in the subdial for earlier models. Yours got a very nice and sharp Henri Jennerette case, what is the serial number?

    The watch is not mine. It is for sale in the local market but I will ask for the serial. The case seems to be in very good condition.

    Looks great to me. But @LouS is the ultimate authority on these.

    Very nice watch not over polished. Still faceted and I think the dial is good. Deference however as @LouS and @Dre are the mavens here.

    Dial is good, case is better. I would buy it if price is reasonable.

    Looks good mate! Just be aware of the chrono functions, make sure everything resets properly to zero.

    I don't think dial has been refinished. How much is owner asking for it?
