u/Any-Will-4195

Been messing around with straps and bracelets on this. The 3-link is on another one. I like this for a Halloween vibe.

The smoke gray one is pretty cool. Almost has a 3D dial and really reacts to different lighting. Of all the awesome Zodiac watches out there I never thought I’d gravitate towards these. Sit low, feel nice, and keep good time. Gold capped one came from a moving sale locally. Was my first Zodiac.

This one’s been going everywhere with me. Been raining a lot so I’m a bit paranoid to wear it at work when I’m outside but these old Olympos ride super well.

Happy Holiday Weekend man!

Found this listing, never even heard of this one. Specs I found online say 43mm, 48mm lug to lug. Over on Mercari fyi. Hope someone here snags it so I can see it on a wrist. These tank style seem kinda rare. Hope this helps someone.

Back from warranty service. Probably my fave

Was watching YouTube and the guys wearing it at about the 7 min mark.

Hope this helps somebody

I’ve had a ton of amps. This thing smokes. The feel and sensitivity is incredible. Never played through a variac’d plexi but if that’s really what this is based off, I get it!

I can’t swing it but hopefully this helps someone out.

Tried jubilee on the gmt, and 3-link on my blue seawolf.

Got this out last night. Decided to wear to work today. No idea the service history, I’ve never sent it anyway. Might have to reach out to the guys on the Zodiac thread, my understanding is there’s some kind of quick set date feature but I’d like to understand it before I start screwing around with the crown too much. I’m going to replace the strap for my Gruen and wear that too a little bit too!

Got an Olympos from an estate sale a couple years ago along with a Gruen. It was an older couple. They had a really cool “western town” they had built on the property. The gentleman explained he had built it for his his children whom had special needs (talk about cool parents!). This literally was a small scale full-on western town. I’m talking store, saloon, jail etc. The amount of things these people collected over the years was overwhelming to take in (Swords, classic cars, antique farm equipment). I ended up talking to them for an hour. I mean true renaissance couple, been all over the world etc. I could tell they had some crazy stories. Ever just meet someone and instantly know they are impressive? Anyway, I was in one of the buildings and saw some costume jewelry. There was a Zodiac (no band) a Gruen, a couple pocket watches, and a fake Rolex. I grabbed the two watches, an Elgin pocket watch and the fake Rolex (no idea why, it’s a comically bad DateJust.) I actually remember grabbing an unopened box of 30-30 ammunition and the guy forgot he was selling a Winchester 94 and it had to go with the gun and pulled it straight out of my hand in front of everyone. lol NBD. The other thing I remember is dropping an f-bomb talking to them about motorcycles and awkwardly apologizing because I felt like I committed the ultimate sin or something! When I was leaving I had asked them where they were going. Sadly they explained that both their children had now passed and that it was painful to stay. They were going to start a new adventure somewhere else. Overall it was a really impactful experience for me in regard wanting to be spontaneous, live in the moment, and be a good dad. I just was thinking tonight if I ever even would have known about Zodiac had that happened too? It’s funny because my 15 year old self would have said these old type of watches are for “dweebs” and now I think they’re super cool. Time goes by so quickly and unfortunately we don’t always get to choose what we remember etc. But I distinctly remember that day so weirdly well.. Wherever this folks are they knew how to live a kick ass life.

Two oldest watches I have. Both run strong
