Many of you know I have a sea wolf that I wear regularly. Nice review on W&W. And mention of a reissue in 2015. 39mm vs the original 35mm.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
This was more a candidate for abtw's watches to remake than was featured on the list, everytime I see that seawolf on the ncwotd I'm captured by it however with a new WR of 100m perhaps it should be named the river wolf.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
Shame about the WR of the re-issue, but I probably wont be able to say no to that, unless it is anything less than a faithful reproduction of the original (39mm is ok)
Just hope they dont add some modern Zodiac twist into it, that will be aweful.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
Is that yours, kip? Love how the dial patina and the worn bezel turn that into a quite unique sea wolf.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
Greg's Zodiac made me go watch some on ebay... Most I've seen sell above $400usd, which is almost Omega money. Seems like a good idea to make the re-issue and I look forward to seeing it in 2015. It is a unique style.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
I watched carefully on eBay for a good deal. Took time. I paid $165 for mine, knowing I needed service and refurbishing. $230 covered service, new crystal, NOS crown, new hands. And some general cleaning. So $400ish for a serviced watch with new crystal/crown/hands.
I'm happy to recommend a guy to service that has access to a lot of old zodiac parts, unlike most watch guys. He's kind of a go to guy for zodiac.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
sure.
when i got it:
now:
other than the hands and some crystal scratches, it's hard to see a lot of difference. but i decided against him replating the bezel, since i liked the character.

Re: Zodiac sea wolf on worn & wound
The character (and it has some real character) has been retained nicely
