NIce catch on the Sea Wolf, incredible price.

What did the SSW go for, I don't see a won price.

Yep, that SW has the "shovel" hands and a blue dial, which looks very cool.  I plan on putting that yellow and black checkerboard bezel on it when it arrives....should look awesome.


I think I paid $750 for the SSW, and it is in terrific shape. I know that seller, and have picked up a few Zodiacs from him. They all are great, and he's a very good vendor. However, I took that damn black and orange NATO strap off and replaced it with an expandable Zodiac stainless steel dive band. Will post photos soon.

I also just bought that cool NOS Chrono that BHJ2013 listed for sale on here.  The twin is on Ebay by Michael at ModernVintageWatches for like $2300, which is an insane price, even though its like new...

Finally, I sent Butch's recommended watchsmith a vintage Baume and Mercier Chrono to service, and he did an amazing job. Its an old winding Landerdon movement, but has been humming along and keeping very good time since it came back. Kudos to BWG!!!

Both look super. Looks like you got them to end the auction early also. Nice! 8)
