·Picked up this neglected "non-working" circa 1957 Zodiac out of a box of "junked watches" yesterday at a flea market....turns out it works and keeps good time. Not the prettiest or most pristine example of a Zodiac, but it lives again!
The problem with the watch is someone put an incorrect crown on it. The crown has an elongated threaded tube which screws onto the stem. The threaded tube is longer than the stem, so when when you try to screw on the crown the bottom of the tube contacts the movement and as you continue to screw down the crown you are actually are threading/pulling the stem outward into the "set" position which stops the watch and gives the false impression that the watch is wound tight and not working. Off to my watchmaker this morning to find an appropriate crown.
My apologies for posting a Zodiac here....didn't have my first cup of coffee....and it started with "Z"...my bad.

·Down hard today - nursing a bad cold. So invariably drawn to OF. Here’s my recently acquired dressy cal. 2572PC in a 28k gold plate or ( rolled? Not really sure - but def not solid). Has a bit of (slight) linen look. Lugs seem nice n straight. Happy it still has its original tang buckle. Does the crown look original ? Keeping time well so far. Thanks for comments or criticism....
