Zodiac Sea Wolf

[GeorgeC]

Very nice Sea Wolf brought in for repair.  Nice to see this brought in from sitting in a drawer to getting worn daily.

Cleaned in the Elma RM90

Reassembled but next will re-luminous the hands.

Hands complete.  I didn't attempt to remove or polish the spots on the hands for fear of maring the mirror polish from original issue.

This watch has the threaded speed regulator so getting to a accurate gain/loss was a pleasure.  Steady had to get in beat via friction adjuster though.

New crystal to arrive this week along with a new crown and she is ready to go.

Very nice. Always have been a fan of Zodiac watches, especially the vintage ones. Quite underappreciated but the new ones aren't as high quality as the former ones are quite a bit expensive.

What type of crystal are you installing on it ? A standard tensioned domed acrylic ?

Topic moved as it's not a walk-through.

Incidentally I think that the amplitude shown on the instrument is insufficient.

Hello, Chopin.  I found the crystal here thinking that I may find it in my GS crystal cabinets but that particular slot was empty.

If you haven't checked that site out, it is a good one.  Has a good online eCatalog of the older paper one.

Chopin, I received the crystal today and it fit like a jewel, err crystal.

Hi,

 

How did you put the bezel back on the case?

I can't figure out how to make it stick. I tried several bezel springs..

Thanks in advance for your help!
