Other is missing start and other is missing "swiss made" text, although I don't know if they exist in every model.

I agree with Gigi. I am always wary of the Sportos that don't have an even patina but the patina is more pronounced around the applied dial furniture. The lack of "Swiss Made" could be because it was from the French, satellite, factory. You would need to know the case and movement numbers to verify that.

My humble opinion is that both are reprinted.
in the steel model, indices missing tritium, which is used in hands.
the same thing for the gold that appears to have also a graphic not perfectly centered.

Personally, at that price I would look for something else.
Especially something older ;) (my personal opinion).

Thanks for your help. Those reprints are "no go".
I'll keep hunting...

What do you think about this:
https://shop.orologiaio.com/eng/prodotti.php?pag=prod&id=471

It looks very nice, but is rather expensive. Is it worth investmant?

FYI: I am buying my first mechanical wrist watch (I have one inherited pocket watch), and I decided that it will be Zenith.

It's in nice condition, but at that price I'd be looking at more 'desirable' models, but at the end of the day, if you like it, buy it!

You are right. It is nice, but too expensive.
I should be able to find similar watch ~300€ and service might be somewhere around 200€. That's still 200-300€ cheaper.
