Title: got my first zodiac. a 1960s Seawolf. Need help with the bracelet it came on
Post by: sbenus on July 27, 2021, 12:29:20 PM
Curious if anybody has any info about the bracelet that came with the watch. On the listing it said that the bracelet was aftermarket. The buckle has the zodiac logo on the clasp. Any help is greatly appreciated

I agree with the seller, never saw that bracelet before. People move the clasps al the time to other bracelets all the time. Just curious, on the underside of the clasp area, what does it say?

Trauner here in the US bought the watches from Zodiac without band, MOSTLY. They had a contract with J.B. Champion to supply most of them and had a lady in NYC whose sole job was to put the bands on the watches when they came over from Switzerland. An old Trauner salesman told me that years ago.

would a JB Champion really be worth over 1K today?
