How weird! Where did you buy it? If it’s legit, it’s a cool mistake: One of a kind!

Best bet is to email Zodiac customer service with photos.

I actually found it... I already sent Zodiac the photos but they couldn't tell me anything... I know nothing about watches but it seems to be real.... I'M trying to sell it, it's in excellent condition... 9.5 /10

I’ve purchased a few Zodiacs. They are limited to 182 and purposely not numbered.

The press photos for this model do show it numbered.

Possibly they changed before selling them.

Certainly possible, but I’m a good bit skeptical of someone who joins specifically to ask this - rather than ask Zodiac directly - then mentions he’s trying to sell it. Smells fishy.

It means he doesn’t have the watch at all, he’s a scammer/spammer. They’re everywhere.

Yep. The real version has engraved text on the caseback, not black text.

Ya know, every time I see a private seller pic with the case back off, I shudder a little bit. More when it’s a “new” watch.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

I looked this up tonight and I saw many versions where it’s black, even on this one on a hodinkee review. Brand Website photos are a lot of times renderings or prototypes.

Yeah, I found the same and posted it in the other thread that got deleted. Not sure why Zodiac would do it two different ways on a limited edition of less than 200 pieces.
