Moments ago, I just heard Zodiac watch mentioned when the women was talking about
her son that died in Vietnam wearing his Zodiac watch.  She found it with his other stuff after
30 years, picked it up and it starting ticking.

Pretty cool.

I'm sure she would rather have her son, but it's nice to think that his watch helps her to feel a connection and remember.

I've never heard any vets mention them specifically, my bet is that to most a watch was something to tell time and that's it, unless it was a Rolex or something similar.  Outside of the pictures on the forum,  I saw a Sea Wolf on an aircrewman's wrist in a History Channel show on Vietnam once, and one more "possible", but they are hard to spot in those videos and photos - picture quality was not so good back then, and Sea Wolf and GMT/Aerospace were not  large watches.
