Taken quite a liking to this....worth buying?

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!

Edited after further feedback.

Thanks

Don't know much about the seller - Rare Birds - but here is the listing if someone can vouch for such creds...

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,

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?

I like it, and up to my little knowledge is all ok
