    For sale here is my Sea Wolf in the popular black, non-date variety.

    Here's a link where you can see detailed information on the history of this model, and some buyers tips, as well:

    http://wornandwound.com/review/affordable-vintage-zodiac-sea-wolf/

    The SS case size is 35.6mm, lugs are 17.5mm. It's in very good to excellent vintage condition; probably never polished before, but with light to moderate wear. The bakelite bezel, on the other hand, shows much more of its age with flaking. Functionally, the bezel is firm (not too much so), pleasant, and ratcheting in both directions.

    Dial looks great, the only obvious blemish being a difficult to see, small area just above the 'A' in Automatic. Crystal is excellent; I think there is a dust particle or two on its underside that is especially seen in bright sun.

    I was told last year when I bought it, that it had just had a recent service; it does keep very good time (+20-30s/day for me), but the crown is a bit finicky if you want to hand-wind it. It needs a bit of outward pressure as you wind to keep it from slipping... probably a simple stem adjustment on the retaining screw would fix that, but I'm not a watchmaker!

    Edit: I never had the need to address this issue, since it is a very well-functioning automatic in that it starts up and runs continuously with only a few gentle shakes.

    Please check out the pics, as they are an integral part of the description.

    Sale includes the 18mm black leather strap seen.

    Payment needs to be by PayPal, price includes CONUS shipping, which is preferred. Not trades right now.

    Please let me know if you need additional pics, or have questions. Thanks for looking!

    Request was made for a movement shot. These are the previous sellers shots, but I have no issue with taking new ones when I have a chance next week..
