Title: Red Dot - all original?
Post by: rocky555 on October 07, 2012, 09:49:44 AM
I came upon this Red Dot... not cheap but interesting.

Supposedly it is NOS example, but I could not find similar pieces when googling for Red Dot or Red Point Zodiacs.

Is it all original, just not one of more popular models? Bezel looks suspicious to me, but maybe all is good?

So, here it is, dial looks very nice in person.

I hope I will find few other red dot pieces in good condition.

 :agreei   nice one--i have always liked the look of this model, you found an outstanding example! just be very careful, the crowns on these 1990s zodiacs are weak and strip out very easy. there are NO PARTS available to repair them, handle gently and dont unscrew it any more than you have to!

Thanks for the tip, it is good to know. I will be careful.
