Zodiac SeaWolf ?

[RoyOdense]

What is this?
Watch case and bezel looks like a SeaWolf - I can not find a Zodiac watch that has the type of watch dial and hands.
The stamping on the back case is also of poor quality.

Can I guess that is is out of India?
Their redials are just so photoshopped!

   i agree about where it probably comes from, i have never seen one from that area that hasnt been redialed!! some wild colors too. check out the pits in the case/back, looks like it must have been in salt water for many years. they couldnt remove enough metal to get rid of them. buyer beware, run away very fast.

Hi Roy, welcome to the forum.

That watch has the incorrect hands and dial on it. Here is what the originals looked like.

Thanks for the welcome.  :)

I know the problem of watches from India. It is surprising that they now appear on the Danish auction pages.
I would not bid on the watch. It will be interesting what it sold for. (auction on 2. October)
Assessment is set to 800 DKK or 145 USD.

Woof!

Woof indeed! The problem with Mumbaitis is that the fresh paint on the dial often masks green grunge in the movement.

If you are in to redials, the work they do is good however.
I am told they use a digital photo of the original dial, photoshopped onto a transparent sticky film, over the repainted dial.
On a Zodiac the tricky bit would be the symbol, as it is an embossed pressing in the dial which I guess  would have been originally screen printed.
