I am stuck at home and change watches about 10 times a day. And now injecting all these cool old Seikos is only making it worse.

For my money, dials don’t come any prettier than a nice 68 trans.

Zodiac Seawolf, cal 70-72, from around early 1960's. Tail end of the usage of Radium lume, but you can see the big triangle plots at 3 - 6 - 9 - 12, the lume on the hands has all fallen away. Still good & hot according to the Geiger Counter, but only within an inch of the dial. Any further than 6" away & then you are down to just background.

Can see at about 2:30 on the dial where the hands had stopped for a long time & left behind a Radium burn.

Have always liked Zodiac, old & new, & I always thought the Seawolf is an icon for the brand. The dial on this piece is not in great shape, but the 70-72 movement still keeps time to better than 5sec/day (not bad for a 60 year old watch 😀
