In shopping for cool gifts for my groomsmen for my upcoming wedding I spent several weeks on eBay, and other sites, looking for decent vintage watches, preferably Swiss made, but I had an open mind. I picked up an Omega, a Longines, and this Zodiac (ebay auction # 331021788132).
This is a Dateographic, yes? Late 60's? I did a little digging on the seller, and they seemed reputable enough.
This post, is of course, a curious exercise in hindsight (as I've of course already purchased the watch, though not received it, given the pace of post). Thoughts? A deal? A dud?
Late 50's or early 60's. Anytime you can get a serviced vintage Swiss automatic for under $100 you are doing good. This model has had the dial refinished and would not be of interest to most collectors. I am sure your groomsman will be very pleased with it.
I appreciate the reply and info! Thanks so much.
Those are thoughtful gifts; beats the hell out the typical razor or money clip. Let me know if you need any more groomsmen!
