Hi Everyone, First post . . . so go easy with me! I'm thinking of purchasing an old Zodiac Sea Ghost watch, but the strap looks like it's seen better days, so I'd like to be able to change with something else - whether that be leather or nato. However, I'm not sure of the fitting size - the strap looks a specialized one which perhaps only Zodiac can sell. Does anyone know if these straps can be changed? and how easily please. I've added a picture so it may help. Thanks in advance for assistance. Cheers Nick Attachment: Untitled.png (Downloaded 17 times)

Thanks very much for the reply here - yes I feared the same. I'll try as you say. By the way do you have a feel for this watch - is it a good watch and investment for the right price? Cheers Nick

Cheers NickI'm not sure what you mean by investment?...but if you like it then go for it,nice watch,but most watch guys are not into quartz watches,personally I would be looking for something that can use conventional straps and with an automatic/mechanical movement in the same price range...
