[storm56]

Arrived today. NOS!

I quite like that although I'm not a huge fan of GMT watches,rarely needing them but if we just bought watches we needed rather than liked,this forum alone would be a more boring place.
Not sure of the logo though which makes me think ,for some reason,of a neo nazi organisation! That's probably my failing mind.
It looks good on your wrist so enjoy it.
As a matter of interest,what is the case size?

Hope it was cheap.

Hope it was cheap.

Define cheap?

It's a nice looking watch that. I would very happily wear that

That's a very nice watch. By "last" do you mean last ever or most recent? If it's the former I'm afraid I don't believe you . . . ;-)

That's a nice watch
Reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it....
Is it a Quartz?
I had a similar era divers watch that I sold on here. I miss it sometimes as it was a cracking watch.

Zodiacs are a often underrated brand IMO.

That symbol is used by some neo nazi organisations. I think it is actually banned in a few countries.

Edit. See. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stra...ch_section_86a

The logo of course was splayed in blood of the victims of the Zodiac killer. But on a happier note very nice watch!
I do happen to have a Sea Wolf so it didn’t put me off.

Thats a good find, especially with all the full kit...

btw, the Celts had that symbol a loooooong time before those s o b's stole it.

I like it a lot, never knew they ever had a go at GMT.

For me, it would need to be cheap enough to wear as a 'workshop watch'.

For that- it would be vying against Timex Ironman.

It is quite clearly a copy of a Rolex GMT, designed to allow the owner to "pretend".

There are lots of makers who have been 'influenced' by Rolex classic designs, but the Zodiac GMT doesn't stop there.

That's very nice and I like the bracelet. Looks similar to the President?

Yawn. Have you ever thought that some people aren't actually bothered about pretending and may just love the style of the watch?

Why do Rolex homages always attract these kind of comments but other brand homages don't? I can't help thinking that it really annoys a minority of Rolex owners that they've spent so much money for the Rolex brand as a statement and then see other people with similar looking, good quality watches for a fraction of the cost.

Recently a thread was posted about a Heuer Bund homage that cost less than a 10th of what I'd just spent on a real one. Did it bother me? No not one bit, so why does this watch bother you so much?
