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...
Last post by noelekal - August 31, 2026, 06:29:31 PM
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.

Looks like the parts came from different watches. Ref number 722 946 indicates NO quick set date (i.e. 70-72 should be inside). If you flip the movement over we can see if it is designated for quick set feature. Probably somebody just replaced the rotor.

And HERE is the 72B that has a broken stem.  As I mentioned, it is torn down.  The rotor says 72B, and it is a 722-946.  It arrived to me seemingly functional, but with a stem that 'didn't work' at all, which was because it was broken.
