Title: My Collection of Vintage Zodiacs
Post by: Oliver on November 07, 2010, 06:28:17 AM

Hi there,

this is my first posting on this great site. But I've been regulary watching and reading the forum postings for quite a while and it is through this site that my interest and appreciation for Zodiacs started and grew. I would like to take the opportunity and thank Butch for his help he has offered to me. Whenever I have written to him and asked for help, he was (and is!) always there and shares his knowledge. A BIG THANK YOU, Butch!

I would like to show what my Collection of Zodicas has come to so far. I have no idea how to upload pictures here, but I will try ....

Just a note, I don't think that I have to name the model of each watch, as the enthusiasts here know them anyway. So I just say, the Kingline is the solid gold (18k) Version, so it's quite rare.

Would love to hear what you think about it  :)

Oh, just want to add that Paul, the watchmaker that Butch recommends, checked and serviced the black Seawolf and the Kingline. He also checked the GMT, but it didn't need any service because it already was in excellent condition. He is an excellent watchmaker and very knowledgable especially on Zodiacs.

Great collection!

Is the black face Sea Wolf with an original band?  I like it.

Glad you joined with such a nice collection.

Hi Seawolf,

thank you! No, unfortunately, the bracelet on the black Seawolf is not original (the bracelet on the white SW is!), but I was glad that I got this one from the watchmaker who serviced it; the style is very similar to the original one.

The Kingline solid gold (18k)  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Not sure if I have ever seen a Zodiac solid gold 18k before.

Do you have a photo of the back of this watch?  Maybe a wrist shot for Butch to view?

Very nice!!!
