    Dear respected members,

    being an Omega guy, i have no clue about Zenith.

    Found this for sale. Is it good (original dial, hands)?

    I like the condition of the case, the hands and the dial (as long as it's not refinished).

    Does anybody know, what Ref. this would be?

    The available pics (Sorry for the high res to be split into four pics):

    Thank you very much.

    Hour and minute hands aren't correct IMO

    Ciao Lando,

    I'm just an enthusiast and not an expert, least of all about Zenith, so take my words just as suppositions: looking to the shape and the numbers on the back it should be a 40's watch, since my Zenith (which do not know the reference) seems to be from 1948.

    If you have the possibility try to open the case and look at the serial on the movement to have a better idea about year of production etc...
    Good luck :)

    Thank you very much for your replies.

    I have decided to not buy it. So this case is closed.

    Wow!!! This is a very beautiful watch! There is a back case number on it, is there any way one can identify the year of production only with this number. 8566821?
