Title: New here... and my Zodiac Astrographic SST
Post by: etc.pp on March 03, 2011, 01:42:40 PM
Hello,
I'm new here and this Zodiac is the most spectacular watch in my collection.
As you can see it is in perfect condition, and is also working perfect.

Does anybody know from which year this watch could be or how I could find it out?

Hello Jon P, thanks for your nice comment!

Yes I'm really proud of this watch! It's almost NOS condition but it has a little mistake:

The crystal has some sort of "veil" or "haze" on the inside, only partially. You can see it in this photo.
I'm sure it could be cleaned by a professional watchmaker.

This watch has had a service on movement about 3 years ago. It holds time pretty well, very few seconds too fast in 24h.
I would like to have another service to make it PERFECT and get rid of this haze. Who is the watchmaker you told me about?

Greetings, Tobias

NICE watch man! Ken Genender modeled this 2000 Astor on that very model and gave me this one.

Send me an email and I will give you the service info.
