Just picked this beauty up Yesterday!
Hey guys,
I love the Zenith 16520, especially nice with the black rings on the sub dials... I came across this in a shop this weekend.. it looked in mint condition with original box but no papers... it's an R serial 1988 Mark 1 dial. Ideally would have loved a porcelain dial but difficult to get hold of so was lucky to get this stunning piece.. Really excited to be wearing this! Hope you like the pics Cheers |

Is this "Units per Hour" engraving for real?
It does not look like Rolex does these things. And it reminds me of a fake. And it is worse than the fake's engraving, to be honest. Unless the pictures are really weird.

No, I am not sure. It seems the pictures look really weird. A lot out of focus and out of alignment. Must be intended, whatever causes this on a small object like a watch. All the engravings look strange. I guess they look all OK in real.

For a 1988 watch as I see it it looks mint, no scratches or anything. So, maybe sometime they polished the watch on RSC and re-paint the engraving. Just a thought...
