The mail lady just dropped this one off about 5 minutes ago. I have wanted one ever since I regretfully sold mine awhile ago and when I saw it up for sale I snagged it as quickly as I could! All boxes, hang tag, warranty card unsigned and not a single mark on it! I'm as happy as a pig in a poke and this should satisfy me for awhile! Not liking to use the word "rare" I wont but this model is very scarce!

I'll give it a month and it will have moved on ;-)

I'll give it a month and it will have moved on ;-) Not a chance! I had at one time a fairly nice collection of Zodiacs and foolishly ended up selling them all! The ones I sold are now selling for 4 times what I originally paid for them! I, as a matter of fact am going to slowly start re-building back my Zodiac collection. They arent cheap anymore and they are very solid and well built watches.

I seem to remember you say that you would NEVER sell the GMT, yet it went :rofl: That's the trouble with declaring things with superlatives...they nearly always come back to bite you

Yeah...... the GMT did go and I somewhat regret it but I did have it for quite awhile. Watches are like anything else..... you eventually tire of them and seek something else.

Can't say I hate it completely, but the "AM" & "PM" marking on the dial, are a bit silly IMO. At the end of the day, as long as you love it...that's all that matters.

Perhaps the AM PM dial is a wee bit over the top but I think it will get a lot of wrist time! I have seen a lot of Seiko's that are over the top as well! The Zodiac is 44mm x 13mm but it is so well balanced you have to check the wrist to make sure you are wearing a watch! The leather strap is so soft and comfy and looks and feels like suede. Edited to add: I am thinking of buying this 24mm x 24mm PVC band to put on it!

To be honest, I wouldn't add any more orange to the mix on that one. A pet peeve of mine, is when the colors (orange in this case) don't match.

Cool. I am a longtime fan of the modern Zodiacs. Have quite a few of them around. Oh, but if anyone thinks that one looks a bit silly or over the top, you really gonna hate on my world time model:

The only thing about it that I diidnt like was the odd strap configuration!
