Title: Mystery Dial Seawolf.....?
Post by: orangecorallimorph on October 22, 2011, 04:48:43 AM
I saw this listing #300613237054....... I have seen this seller w/ many old cool SW's before but .....
"WOW! SUPER RARE SILVER MYSTRY DIAL SEA WOLF! IVE ONLY EVER SEEN ONE OTHER LIKE THIS."
What gives on this one, sensai?
I am not in the running because the price is way too dear for me but I thought maybe there would be some knowledge of this SUPER RARE item!
Legit?or no?
TY-O.C.

Disappointing is what that is. The dial has been stripped, any holes filled in, and the dial may have been repainted. Even the border ring for the date is gone, the only thing left on the dial is the logo. It was probably like below, but could have even been the black version. I assure you that did not leave the factory like that.

Yeah, Thanks for the info. I was pretty much figuring all the "mystery dial" stuff was bull to the shirt!

That bites!  stuff like this ruins a lot of the goodwill built up.  the orange dials are more susceptible to peeling cracking.

Butch, I remember in the past you saying you know this seller and he could be trusted. I didn't know if you meant you know him personally or just from his past listings you meant he could be trusted. Does this mean you've changed your mind?
I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here, I'm honestly wondering now. This ad seems downright dishonest since the seller has sold plenty of Zodiacs in the past, especially asking that much.

I think my first sentence above covers your questions.
