Had a hankering for a watch, and spent a month trying to figure out what fit my budget.  Always liked the look of the old Zodiacs as they reminded me of the watch my dad gave me as a kid (that I lost immediately at the public pool :().  Anyway, I'm loving this watch.  Only other watch I've owned for longer than a week was a Breitling Colt Chrono which was just way too big and annoyed the crap out of me. 


Paid more than I wanted, but I factored in the fact it was worked on and is ready to go.  Original band as well that thankfully fits like a glove.  Holds time well and the people did a pretty decent job restoring it. 

Anyway, enough with the blah blah.  Here are the pics!  Just to add, it seems the bezel is a light gold color. Hard to see in the picture.

very nice...great choice, I favor the non-dates version also

Whelp, it's been a month and still going strong.  Very happy with my purchase.  First week of wearing it I was moving some drywall and scuffed up the crystal.  Can't remember where I first heard about it, but thank God for soft erasers.  Looks like new again! :D
