hi all,
i'm new in this Forum and i would like to say hallo to everybody. I'm from Italy and my name is Fabrizio.
I have this Super Sea Wolf 75 atm close NOS condition.
Because i've never seen a SSW with this case, i like to know you opinion on the authenticity of the case.
Could it be a re-cased watch?
See the pictures, the watch in wonderfull.

Thank you.
Hard to say to be honest. I think the bezel has been replaced, but the rest seems Zodiac.
8) orange bezel looks great even if not original, and i like the orange date window. dial looks good.
The caseback, dial, bezel retainer and movement may be Zodiac, but I think that the bezel and mid-case are from a different watch. The Super Seawolf has slightly rounded lug tops and the lugs are majoratively covered, not beveled lug sides and extended lug length like your case has. I believe the mid-case and bezel are from either an Edox or Favre Leuba dive watch, that used a variation of the same case as the Super Seawolf so the internals and caseback would be compatible. Those two companies also used an orange bezel identical to the one on your watch as well. Although, this is just my opinion.
