cmoy....Welcome aboard! Beautiful watch...Thanks for sharing!....Gary
Thanks Gary!
man--that is beautiful for sure ! it looks like factory new, how long have you owned it? you will find out there are a bunch of gmt fans on here,me for one. i have the older model with metal bezel, skinny hands with the red arrow tip gmt hand. welcome to the forum. JON
Hey Chris,
amazing shot , good to see you here. :)
Thanks Jon! I love GMT's, all brands ;D I've had this one since Apr of 2008. I don't wear it that much. Would you think mine is from the late 60's? I thought it was from the 70's but the case back is markers "20 AMT-Waterproof". Would love a Pepsi GMT :D
Thanks Dave! :) Good to me here. I need more Zodiac's though :o

Nice watch - looks mint! :o
Thanks Yankee76! There's a light hairline scratches but yeah it's in pretty good shape. This has to be the cleanest vintage watch I have.
i would guess LATE 60s/ early 70s due to the bezel type. butch IS our expert, i bet he can date it better than me. you have a very pristine gmt, the condition everyone dreams of finding!!! JON
Thanks Jon! I was shocked when I opened the box :o Like I said to Yankee76 that has to be my cleanest vintage watch! I should send her out for new gaskets but I can't seem to let her go. Not even for a few months :D
It might be worthwhile to get it serviced anyways - just to get it cleaned....
I should. I need to put it in a box and ship it out, can't think about it :o I have so many vintage watches that need servicing but they're all sitting in a drawer ???
8) CHRIS---butchs watch repair guy is THE BEST, he is the only one we all use. usual 2 week tunraround and he is the zodiac guru. i spent a lot of money on my GMT local and they could not fix it--BWG knew what was wrong by email before he even saw my watch ! get with butch for details on who he is.he is a great guy and pays attention to detail. your watch deserves the best care and he gives it for sure. i couldnt believe the difference in mine :o JON

Sell them to me for a low-low price and I'll get them serviced for ya! ;)
BTW I've only been here a short time, but I've seen some Before and After pictures and Butch's guy does amazing things with Zodiacs.
I would have the watch serviced every 5 years anyways. They'll run forever if you do.
Thanks Jon ans Yankee76! BTW Can't sell my watches, wife will kill me :o Sorry Yankee76 ;D
COOL! I wouldn't mind sending him my Super Sea Wolf. Had it serviced a few years ago but the guy said the post on the chrono second hand had a crack and the hand may or may not reset to 12 o'clock. Since then I havn't played around with the chrono. BTW Do you guys know if the Super Sea Wolf came with a signed crown? Mine is definitely a replacement, unsigned and polished like a mirror. Thanks again!
As far as I can tell the vintage SSWs never had a signed crown.

No worries - I was only kidding. I don't have a small fortune to buy those minty looking Seikos and Zodiacs off you! ;D
BTW nice photography on your website - the shots of the Flightmaster and Marinemaster are spectatcular. Great job on the lighting.
Nice Watch!
Here is mine
Thanks Butch!
