Nice clean design. I really like the size and it's simple design. Very nice! Cheers

Yes this size suits you. Thanks, James.

Zodiac is really making nice moves. I have their watermelon in 40mm and it’s been constantly in my rotation. I’ll give this one a try or with the steel bezel. Also interesting history about the history of rubber straps and vanilla. I didn’t realize how much silicone attracts dust and debris but that’s so true.

[@whatsonthewrist]

Congrats on your watermelon, Tom. I like it and the 9213 you’re interested in. Let me know once you get it.

[@rowluxillusion5235]

The strap is made by Bonetto Cinturini, the vanilla scent is a key aspect of their rubber straps.

Yes. you are right, Rich. Zodiac is relatively unknown watch in US even though it has a long and lustful watch history well over 100 years. For me, Super Sea Wolf 53 Compression Automatic is my favorite watch among all Zodiac watches. Hopefully I can get my hands on soon. thanks for the review, Rich

[@whatsonthewrist]

Hi, Alex SDG. Yeah their compression model is pretty cool too. Let me when you’re able to pick one up. 🤙

Little different from other divers and 39mm is the perfect spot for a lot people, great watch Richard ⌚️ 👌

[@whatsonthewrist]

I agree. Thanks, chko. 👌🥃

This is a totally cool divers by Zodiac and perfect in 39. Absolutely perfect for me. They also make a chronometer movement although we don't hear much about that movement or which zodiac watches use it. I'm fine with the stop-111. Fair price so not much to complain about but a little to bad about the lume strength. It's not a deal breaker. I'd love to check it out in the flesh. Thanks for the video my boy.

[@whatsonthewrist]

Hey, Rich. Yes their chronometer grade movement is the 3-11 movement. And yes I like it in 39mm too. 🤙

I have a Super Sea Wolf, great watch even more considering the rpice I have payed fot it new, a real bargain.

[@whatsonthewrist]

Congrats on your bargain on a cool Super Sea Wolf, Eternal. 👌

[@jeffd3802]

How is it in person? Seen a few videos and I can order a few.diff models new now for under $600.00. Would you say it's worth it?

[@stephenwells3185]

Rich I dig this watch. It’s different and cool with a nice history as well. But why only the black dial since Zodiac is known for their colors they should have color choices. But still I like it and now it’s on my very short list. Great video sir. 👍

[@whatsonthewrist]

I agree color options are always a good thing, which as you noted Zodiac has with some of their other models. I like the black/black and their ZO9213. Thanks, Steven. 🤙

[@MikePearson55]

More Color’s to come but this particular model is all about traditional designs based off of the original sea wolf skin diver!!
