Title: Help ID'ing this Zodiac Sea Wolf
Post by: hockeyhead019 on December 22, 2021, 03:19:40 PM
Hey guys, looking to see if anybody has a rough time frame that this watch is from? I would think late 60's early 70's based on some searching but figured I'd ask those more knowledgable.

I was also able to find a couple links on the chrono24's of the internet as well but they don't give too much information.

That model appears in the 1975 catalog.

Thanks butch! Any collection value I should be aware of? The examples I saw going online (not ebay) were listed between 1200-1800

In today's market all I can say is whatever the market can bear. The prices are crazy. Depends how bad you want to sell it I guess. I just offer a guy a serviced 3 register chrono for $850 and he wanted to haggle. Go figure. Point is today one never knows.

Makes sense, the market is rather silly currently.

Butch do you have access to the service manual for this 72B movement?

Sorry Butch, I was referring to the "classic" cannon pinion, not the offset (which looks in great shape!)

Finally got it unstuck with a pb blast and let it sit overnight.

Many configurations (dial & bezels) exist.

Does anybody know if there are available pieces for the case securing screws and tabs? My watch was delivered without them.
