Thank you Phil for the kind words on the Zodiac SSW68...You are correct on the mesh, I guess they refer to this type of mesh as Milanese Mesh. The kit also included a nice rubber dive strap too.
Sticking with the Zodiac today.
Wow wow wow
Another one on my list
Never ending story.
"Milanese Mesh" perfect description for this kind of bracelet.
But I think I would prefer the rubber strap.
Maybe you have the time for a few pics with the nice rubber strap.
I like the other version with the grey sunburst dial of the Super Sea Wolf too.
The white outer ring on the dial looks really nice on that one.
Awesome piece Chris !
Now it's time to say you have a great taste in watches !
PS: what you say regarding the size of this watch ?
Thank you Phil, Chris, and Greg for the kind words on the Super Sea Wolf 68!
Phil - I'm with you, and you know me when it comes to rubber dive straps...I tend to prefer dive rubber over mesh most of the time. I will eventually post up the rubber dive strap, but we are doing some landscaping projects today, so I'm a bit detained!
Speaking of rubber dive straps, the rubber strap that comes with these Zodiac models looks a lot like that Bonetto that you have on your sharkmaster today (great combo btw!).Size is great with these IMO. They have a lot of wrist presence due to the 44mm dimension, but they wear very comfortably due the relatively short lug length at 50mm.
Impressed by the build quality on these. This is the best built push down, 60-click ball bearing bezel that I've seen implemented...extremely well done IMO! The STP-11 movement is the only thing I'm not completely sure about yet, but I'll know more as I live with the movement a little more. It winds with a firmness/resistance that is quite a bit higher than what I'm used to versus the ETA 2824 and Miyota 9015 movements for instance (not sure if this is inherent to these movements or unique to mine). The STP-11 movement that comes with this LE model Super Sea Wolf is COSC rated (watch included the COSC timing certificate for my specific watch), and so far it is keeping excellent time...right at +2 sec/day right out of the gate.
Phil & Greg - The Grey dial and Orange dial versions of these are sweet as well!
I can easily recommend one, and I'm really enjoying it!!!
You guys should go ahead and order them right away so that I can drool over your guy's real world pics!!!
