Interesting Zenith, large linen dial

[Syrte]

Greetings everyone,

I spotted this one while the auction was live and thought its unusual dial was quite interesting, its condition is amazing -but then I realize the case seems to have no markings, or worse, that its markings got erased.
I reckon the market agreed given the fact it sold for cheap; does anyone know for a fact this case is not Zenith?

Curious what the experts think...

Best regards,
S

Case definitely does not look like it should be housing that dial. But, blimey, the dial and hands look lovely.

No an expert on these, but the second hand looks a bit long or the x-hair sub seconds are a bit short.

Not a Zenith case, nor original dial, nor hands.

Neat watch nice movement for Seiko money.

Seller's listing clearly shows that his business runs on recasing fake/fantasy case.
Plus he has plenty of friends shilling his auction.
Another noob trap I'm afraid

Seen a bunch of these cases on JLC dress watches the last couple years. The give away is that flat calatrava case.

I see these francken (at best) Zénith all the time when watching on eBay. This seller and others offer the same stuff on a regular basis: genuine movement, redialed (at best) dials, new or reconditonned cases.

I am sometimes attracted by the dial at first glance, then move on quickly when I see the case...
