    This vintage no-date Zodiac Sea Wolf has a white "SWISS T<25 MC" signed
    dial that is in lovely but not perfect condition as it shows age-related wear and discoloration.
    The original lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a warm toasted buttermilk hue.  The
    bezel
    ,
    which rotates stiffly
    bidirectionally, presents beautifully with the deep amber lumed inverted triangle
    complementing the dial and patina nicely.  The all stainless steel
    case shows honest wear with no visibly significant signs of exterior oxidation (there may be signs of interior oxidation if the case back were to be removed).
    The outside of the case back is stamped "ZODIAC SEAWOLF   WATER-TESTED   20 ATM ESPECIALLY" and between the lugs at 6 o'clock are the stamped numbers "1839553."
    The crystal should be replaced as it shows significant scratching.
    The case back on Sea Wolf's are notoriously difficult to remove and should be done by a skilled watchmaker familiar with how to do so in order to avoid causing damage.  While the time can be set without issue the automatic movement does not run nor does the crown wind.  Because I am unable to open the case back assume there is no movement.  Selling for parts/restoration only.
    This watch measures approximately 35 mm excluding the crown, approximately 38 mm including the original crown and approximately 17.75 mm between the lugs.  Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel is approximately 8 mm.  Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 10 mm.
    Given that the crown cannot be wound and the movement does not run (assume there is no movement) this watch is being sold for parts/restoration only.  As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.
    Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time.
    For this watch that time is now.
    Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
    Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given.  And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
    Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be provided.  Thanks for looking!
