General Zodiac Discussion / Re: Someone To Rehab a Sea Wol...

Thank you very much Butch for replying to this inquiry. 

Here are photographs of the bracelet, showing the markings. 

You may be familiar with Sea Wolf serial numbers.  The serial number on the Sea Wolf here is 1288087.  It has no hacking feature and the hands are the solid lume style. 

This Sea Wolf was serviced a couple years ago and requires no service at present, so I would probably wait for a spell until I have some watches serviced that are coming due for regular maintenance.

BWG can restore the band but only when servicing the watch.

Take a pic of the markings on the back of the clasp that touches the skin.

General Zodiac Discussion / Someone To Rehab a Sea Wolf Br...

It's been a while since I looked into the Forum here, though I still greatly enjoy the Sea Wolf I've had for some years. I keep it serviced and it's ticking merrily.

A kind fellow on another watch forum has seen me feature it from time to time and sent me a private message offering to give me a Sea Wolf bracelet he found in some other watch stuff he had acquired.  I had always wished to add a bracelet, but never found one for a "real deal" anywhere and after years of keeping an eye open for one, I've only watched asking prices rise.  So, I am really grateful for this good fortune my forum bud provided me.

It's a tired bracelet and needs to be restored. Only two of the links still work properly, the rest being loose and flollopy. Can a shop be recommended for restoration work on these bracelets?

I am also curious to correctly identify which bracelet I have.  Hopefully, a couple of photos will appear when this inquiry is posted.

Oh! I see, thank you!  Yeah, mine both have the 'slanted' part next to the winding gear, so I suspect I just have 2 70-72 stems then.  Perhaps one is an 'aftermarket' or something so it is slightly different.


Ok, thank you so much for your patience!

So I cleaned/assembled the dial side with that stem out of the 70-72, and I don't believe that is going to work right? I THINK I see how the quickset is supposed to work (A push against the spring on with the tail next to the barrel, rotates the setting lever further counter-clockwise until it pushes on the long-bar), but the shoulder on the stem seems to be stopping it from pushing into the winding gear on the stem.

Interestingly, I tried the 'other' one as well, and I don't seem to be able to get it to work either, so I wonder if I have just 2 'wrong' stems?

That said, the one out of the 70-72 seems to work 'correctly' for everything but quick-set...

Do you happen to have any photos of a 72B stem that you could show me?  I searched the forum and can't see any photos (they all seem to have been deleted).

Ok, great!  And you think the stem I have that ISN'T broken actually goes to this movement?  That could make my life a lot easier :)

Could you share how you can tell?  Do you perhaps have a picture that shows the differences clearly between the stems?

Does this show what you need?  It looks like there is a quickset mechanism with the arm at the bottom?  Or am I missing something?  I haven't taken the 70-72 apart yet, so I don't really know.
