Zenith 126-6 - looking for a new dial

Anto_Alex · Mar 18, 2025

Hi everyone 😀 I received this watch from my grandfather. I was told that the dial is not original. Moreover, it is very worn and damaged, so it might be best to replace it. I found this caliber 126 on eBay, which seems to be from the same period.
I would like to ask for your opinion and whether it is compatible with my 126-6.

Thank you very much to anyone who can help me.
The first four photos are of my watch.

If the two movements are the same caliber (and it looks like they are), then it is highly likely that the other dial will fit the movement in your grandfather's watch. However, there is no way to know if the second dial will fit the case of your grandfather's watch from that photograph.

The other dial is not much of an improvement, so I would leave it alone.

If you can get the seller to measure the outer diameter of the dial, then you can measure your dial, and see if they are the same. I agree totally with @gatorcpa that the improvement is marginal.
