Title: My first Zodiac: 1959 Seawolf
Post by: morgan71 on December 19, 2012, 04:21:36 PM
Dear All
this is my first post, and my first Zodiac.
It's a Seawolf, from 1959 so first series  with no date  a cool vintage look.
Here is a picture I got from the seller

Unfortunately second hand and the crown (I think) are not original but I hope to bring it back to the original shape.

bye
Morgan

 :welc crown should have the zodiac logo, second hand appears to be from a GMT, neither a big problem. it really needs to go to our forum watchmaker for a tune up, he probably will have what you need. it may be middle 1960s from the hour/min hands.

After some discussion and picture exchange with the watchmaker, we agree that it is a very early SW model with caliber
AS1700. Waiting to send it for a pit stop here another picture if my watch.
