New and first post

[jonathanp77]

Hi,

Just joined today and thought I'ld introduce myself. I've read a few threads already and it's great to see quite a bit of passion and knowledge here. Looking forward to learning a lot from everyone.

As for me, I bought my first Zodiac (pic below) a month or so ago. From what I know (and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), it's cal 59 valjoux 7733. I don't know what year (though I hope it's '71, my birth year) and I can't completely read the whole serial# on the case with my naked eye.

Oh and sadly I already lost the 4 o'clock chrono pusher. I suspected it wasn't the original pusher due to the slight difference in diameter but I figured I'ld get it changed next year. But it came off so I obviously have to get a new pusher now. Any tips?

Hi and welcome to the forum,
You'll probably get the impression, if you haven't already, that Sea Wolves and Astrographics tend to get most of the attention around here. However, that being said, many of the other models seem to really be gaining a lot of attention these days. May have something to do with a number of different relatively high profile pieces (at least in the watch collecting community) being written.
In actuality, there have been a number of posts here pertaining to the theoretical history of Zodiacs chronos. Some of it gets pretty ornery at times.
To answer your question, best bet is to email Butch Dunn (website owner) and ask to be put in touch with his watch guy (BWG=Butch's watch guy).  I believe the current one specializes in collecting his own chronographs in addition to being a Zodiac repair/service guru. Sounds like a win win situation for your concerns.
Once again, welcome and congrats on the nice pick up. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting that pusher attended to.

  to the forum Jonathan! That's a beautiful chrono you have there.  As Cobber said, drop Butch a line and I'm sure he'll get you pointed in the right direction to get the pusher replaced.  Lots of good info here so get busy reading!
