The fitment between the lugs and end links looks poor, that is something to look for. The colors look dingy too, but with one distant picture it's hard to tell. I hope for the OP's sake its real, that would be some nice hidden treasure to find.

Subdials level with 9 and 3 make it look like a Zenith, but what is visible of the clasp doesn't look like it has the oyster-link shaped ridges of the Zenith clasp, but doesn't really look like the later one either.

Please post photos. I have suspicions as well. THe subdials don't look right, and neither does the bracelet fitment between the lugs...hmmm. I may be wrong, but until we see it close up, we wont know for sure...

Well since this thread, the only posts he's made are trying to sell stuff (not this, but other stuff) which this thread and a couple of other comments helped with in reaching the minimum post requirement. The likelihood of some higher quality, better lighting images of this (1)16523 may be rather low.
