Zenith Sodalite

Person selling this is claiming it’s steel and original. I don’t remember these coming in steel, only white gold.

You are correct.
White gold only.

No disrespect, 1665fan, but I put a WG dial in my steel Zenith. Is it really a franken now? I still have the original dial to sell with the watch if I ever decide to part with it. It's just a dial swap, people do that all the time. It's not like stainless dials are rare, if new owner wants original config.

The difference is a seller claiming that all is original
