16520 serial engraving

Hi Guys,

Ive been looking at this 16520. Does the serial engraving look off or ok? Does the paperwork look legitimate?

Thanks in advance!

Engravings don't look correct compared to these

I was thinking they looked slightly different to some that I had seen.

I was wondering whether there was ever any variation in engraving.

There is definitely some variance, maybe it is due to the size of the number.

The serial could be short with a few 1's ie - U610111

As seen here

The font and spacing don't look anything like the ones you sent

Red DAYTONA looks too close to the hours.

^ how’d you arrive at that? Would need a u serial watch to compare. The letter impacts the kerning. The engraving and punch papers look good to me. Have yet to see a fake set of punch papers, but there’s always the possibility.

Its been removed from Chrono24 now.

Seller had said the movement was serviced with some zenith parts in the description.
