Gorgeous watch,  but oh man are you in for a rude surprise! The members here squawk like chickens run over by a 10 speed bike when a watch is offered for more than $300 bucks... Nice of you to post it, but if you manage to sell it to someone on here for anything close to what your'e asking, I will pass out from pure shock!

A man's price is a man's price. The buyer's may be different though.

I like what my grandfather used to say, "A man's got three prices, wantin, askin, and takin."

Good luck! I once sold a Zodiac 3 register chrono with GMT function for that price.

Sharp watch.  I need one for my collection, but the lump of coal that I will get in my stocking this year will not quite cover it.....

I am happy to say that this excellent and pristine watch will soon be on its way from Germany to Toronto. 

Thanks to Compi for offering up this fantastic vintage Zodiac chronograph.

Cheers,

Lex

NICE catch Lex.

[LexLoci]

Thanks Butch. I had originally seen this watch for sale on the Chrono 24 website, and communicated with the seller then. I kept looking at this baby, and how it is so pristine without any scratches that I can see from the pics. I finally broke down and coughed up the $$$ to add it to my collection. What the hell, you only live once right? The seller is a very polite and professional individual in our communications. I am always impressed by people who can speak and write in two or more languages, and do so well, as Compi does. Now I have some NFL playoffs to watch! Cheers and have a great Sunday. LEX.

Butch, small world. I think I have your old GMT chrono. I got it from BWG a year or two ago and it looks identical to the one you have under "My Watches". I never noticed it until you mentioned it in this thread.
It's the highlight of my collection!

[Butch]

And well it should be.

[compi]

Lex, the watch is on the way to Canada. Lot of fun with the ZODIAC   

[LexLoci]

You bet! Thanks!!! 

[LexLoci]

Arrived today! Wearing it right now. Still had the plastic protective covering on the case back...... amazing. Wound it up and its running well. Not a scratch on it! Literally like new. 

[compi]

I'm happy for you that you're finally in the possession of the beauty. I think she's in good hands with you.

Good luck, compi!
