I've read that Zodiac watches have their issues, but wow they look so cool! Enjoy!

I have that exact watch. Like it a lot except for 3 things.

  1. For a $1,000+ watch, mine keeps terrible time, 14+ seconds/day fast. Any watch in that price range should be not worse than +-10 seconds/day.

  2. The screw down crown can be a real bitch to screw back down.

  3. The bevel cut on the end of the rubber strap is hard to insert into the clasp.

Other than that, I like the looks, ease of reading & the comfort on my wrist. Fortunately, the movement is based on the ETA 2824-2 which makes it easy for a watchmaker to regulate. If I had any confidence in my ability to work on a watch, I'd do it myself.

If I can get mine regulated to that, I can ignore the other two nits.
