Title: New to the forum with my first Zodiac
Post by: JohnHM on January 19, 2013, 12:47:48 PM
Dear Zodiac fanatics,

My name is John  :new and i'm from the Netherlands.
Today my first Zodiac Astrographic SST arived at my house and i was realy impressed by it.
It's in verry nice shape for it's age with only a few dings , the original crystal is almost in perfect shape ( unfortunatly some watchmaker replaced it the wrong way so the Zodiac sign is turned 45 degrees ) it came on the original Zodiac bracelet ( a big plus ), i even had to remove 2 links to fit in nicely to my wrist.
Only things needed is a new crystal gasket , the one in the watch is not evenly placed ( is there a source for a new gasket !? ).
And the original crown is long gone , if someone has a spare original crown for sale feel free to PM me.
Keep up the good work on this forum.
Kind regards,
John B

Butch ,

I made a few pictures.
I can make better ones tomorrow when i have some daylight.
It keeps good time for now , but want to take her apart.
It seems that there is a little dust or so on the inner discs , i like to remove that, lubricate the movement , ad an original crown ( if i can get one ) , and put a new crystal gasket in it if available.
