The Value Proposition: The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 68 Limited Edition
In 1953, the modern diver’s watch was first presented, by three watch brands. Two of them are very well known for this accomplishment: Blancpain, for the 50 Fathoms, and Rolex, for the Submariner. But there’s a third brand which also debuted what’s recognizably a modern diver’s wristwatch: Zodiac, which launched its Sea Wolf the same year. The original Sea Wolf had all the attributes of a serious diver’s instrument watch, including great legibility and a rotating timing bezel, and for a couple of decades, the firm – always a contender although never the juggernaut that Rolex was – continued to make tough, durable, relatively affordable watches that were enthusiastically adopted by military personnel, among others, including the Navy SEAL teams (a fact that Zodiac enthusiastically pointed out in its advertising). 1 OF 8 2 OF 8 However, as Jason Heaton pointed out in our earlier coverage of the Super Sea Wolf 53, history is w

Love my Aerospace Avantage!
I'm currently on a three week treck through Europe and the decision to take the Aerospace Avantage is paying off in spades. With a reliable alarm and quick to set dual time zones my true tool watch is doing it's job. The watches I left behind can't do what the road warrior Breitling has done.

COSC question on resale

Should I have it regulated or not?
As most of you will know,through my previous thread, thanks to Brian and his relationship with his AD, I was able to buy a 5167A.Whenever I buy a watch, I normally check the daily accuracy rate to check that it falls within the Brands (not necessary Patek Philippe) specification. If it does then I tend to forget it.The 5167A is no exception, and i set it 5 days ago. To date it has lost 28 seconds, which is about 5.4 seconds per day.Now, I have had the pleasure of owning a number of Patek watches and so I know that this is not the norm.In the Old un days, on seeing a thread like this, you would advise the owner of their new (not pre owned) watch to give it a couple of weeks for the movement to bed in as well as allowing it to become accustomed to how you wear it.Is that still the case?Or should I get it regulated?Just to clarify I am not seeking perfection, we all recognise and appreciate that these are mechanical movements and some tolerance has to be allowed.But I would like it to be
