The rotor bears the correct Zenith engraving ("Swiss Made / Cal. 380"), no re-engraving or forgery marks.
All screws are intact, no traces of screwdrivers - an important sign that no tinkering or improper opening has taken place.
The regulating screw and eccentric show that the movement has not been adjusted - very good for collectors.
