Title: Newbie with an Old Red Dot Diver
Post by: drhiredgun on September 26, 2014, 07:10:18 AM
Hi guys, I am new here. Was able to get hold of an old 200 meters professional red dot diver. Please enlighten me with Zodiac  dot system. Was only able to find below info.

"The Point series was around in the 1990s, maybe as early as the '80s.  Zodiac used the system for ascending price bracket sports watches in their line.   The Red Point was seemingly the more common workhorse level  (but darned well made, nonetheless), the Silver Point was the next sep up, and the Gold Point was supposedly the top of the line.  Each had was denoted by a dot on the dial in the corresponding color.  The Sea Wolf line also acquired a blue dot on the dial in that time period, they retained the Sea Wolf model name on the dial. "


O! BTW, here's mine...

great find, i have always liked this series of zodiacs. be very careful with the screw down crown, all these 1990s models would strip out the threads very easily, handle it gently. BWG, from what i understand, has a fix now for this problem, thank goodness! enjoy your zodiac and welcome to the forum.
