Another unwanted, unloved bezel has found a new home.............on the wrong watch lol. 

I know that seller personally, and he definitely does not know Zodiacs, but he has been in the business for a few decades so I think he probably has a good idea that the watch is not totally original. 

Sellers shouldnt hide behind the "as found, as is" policy, especially when they know that the item is not correct.

Isn't the box a Seawolf box?

I don't see a box?
Does this model Sea Wolf normally have a screw down crown? It looks too big for the watch, almost like a Super Sea Wolf crown.

Yeah, I dunno what box he was talking about but decided to cut him some slack for a change. (Senile!)

I am pretty sure this one is like the one in the For Sale forum I just bought with the metal bezel, red hand, and yes, screw down crown (that was stripped BTW). The plastic replacement bezel makes it tough to say for sure though.

It is the same one.  I have had three or four of this model before, and every one had bezel issues (the original bezel wears horribly), and all of them had a stripped crown and tube.  Is a shame, because I actually liked the hands and the blue dial for this model.  That goofy plastic bezel that someone rigged to the watch makes it look like one of the no-name base metal dive watches of that time period.
