··Vintage Omega AficionadoI have three Zodiac signed bracelets, two are by Champion and one is by Kreisler.
I am not aware of them ever using rivet oyster style bracelets.

·The Zodiac Seawolf is a classic, and starting to be very hard to find cheap!!! Even poor examples are going at $200. I measured mine, Seawolf, World Timer, Aerospace GMT (all same as Seawolf) with a very good Brown&Sharpes caliper. .6875 to .6930 so about 17.5 to 17.65. 18mm bands seem to fit fine. J B Champion is the most known band maker, then Kreisler, some debate about Drema in the later real Zodiac watches. My original bought new by me Yellow racing Bezel Seawolf has a Zodiac marker Oyster style strech band like Kyles, but is only marked Zodiac USA. Zodiac is on the clasph however and it is the original band.

Thanks for the info! I think I got it for a decent price, the endpieces on the stretch bracelet were a little too wide so I stuck it on my Seamaster. Do you know anybody who fixes up these bracelets? I was tempted to purchase the Aerospace GMT he had, but I decided to go with the Seawolf. 😀

·The Aerospace GMT's are normally the earlier watches from the '60's. Several varations. They as well are bringing good money now. I am looking for a good Glorious ("Pie Pan" style) The bad thing about these is normally the band. Several up on the bay, but seldom with the end pieces. A good original band often will bring what a so so watch will... There are a couple of good watchmakers that specialize in Zodiac's, Ron Gordon in NY and Pauls Watch&Clock in Sacramento CA. (mine) they might be able to help, but bands are luck of the draw.

·That is the older add that shows the Oyster stretch style. This Zodiac is an early one, no date, smaller all metal bezel. Kyles and Hoi's are early as well, thinner all metal bezel. Would guess that they have the "scale" marker on the back. My Seawolf is the later one with the thicker enameled bezel and quick change date. Same band however. Other than Zodiac USA no makers marks.

··Steve @ ΩFMine also measured about 17.5. It is on an 18mm band and it looks/feels perfect.
