:P wow-that sw movement and dial fit right into what ever kinda case that is!! the 60min ring around the dial looks like seiko but the case and back look like?????.usually seiko backs have a lot of info on them---none here. bezel might be seiko--sure not zodiac. really not a bad looking watch for a franken seikoiac! something new everyday on the bay.

Think he just inadvertently cut and pasted from a Seiko auction that he had.

Think its a regular Seawolf dial in a Super (or similar) case.

Sorry, vakay and all that. No clue what that is. I think the dial and movement are too old for that style case, and the band too new for it. Did anyone ask for a close up of the in and out of the case back?

I can not figure why anyone would want to purchase that thing. It clearly says Sea Wolf on the dial and the seller claims it to be a Super Sea Wolf.

You are seeing this more and more, and honestly it is not that hard of a thing to do. I have done this kind of work before (at a customer's request, not to fool anyone like what goes on with Ebay), and if you have a large assortment of movement/case rings of all sizes and jeweler's tools you can do some amazing things with creating watches like this.
