I was hoping you could take a look at this and let me know what you think.

I have the exact same model as this guy's listing which I bought some time ago and still own, ALSO #14 of 30!

Please see the attached zip file, hopefully you can open it. If not, I'll resend in another format. It shows high quality close-up photos of my watch.

Just trying to find out what the deal is... I do not suspect counterfeit in my watch, it seems perfect. But looking for explanation of why we both seem to have #14 of the 30 yellow gold models made. The mov't SN's are different though.

What do you think?

The full reference number of your watch is "14/30 0240.410". The "14/30" does not mean that this watch is the 14th of 30 produced. There were certainly more than 30 of this model produced.

This would be more obvious if you considered some other Zenith Chronomaster models like the "14/01 0240.400" etc.

OK, so we both have the same "reference number" (or model number), no unique S/N on the case, and the only difference then is the S/N on the movement, which is unique.

Since you seem to have some expertise with these models, would you care to 'value' my watch as well? I think I did OK on mine as it was mint as you can see from pics, his is showing wear, and I paid far less. Any estimate?

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge... I really appreciate it.
