·Hello everyone.
I would like to share my little story.
I am a watch enthusiast, but even more so a photography entusiasm.
I visited the Don McCullin’s retrospective, a giant of reportage photography, in Rome.
His war photos are famous, especially from Vietnam. His professional ethics make him a legend of photojournalism. And also my personal one.
In the center of one room was a display case with various memorabilia, including the Nikon that saved his life by stopping an AK-47 shot intended for him.
Next to this I see his watch: a Zodiac Sea Wolf. Seeing it and wanting it were one and the same.
So I set out to find one exactly like it. A task that turns out to be more difficult than expected.
Thanks to Yuriy Vakulenko I deduced the reference, Sea Wolf Datographic 722-916, but here with the less common trapezoidal window.
Also its steel bracelet is not so common. Vakulenko sold one in exactly this configuration, but years ago.
I found a head on eBay but in really poor condition and at a price that in my opinion was very overestimated. My search continues. If anyone is kind enough to share useful information for research with me, I will be happy. There, that's all. The hunt continues.
Thanks for your attention.
