Hi,
So my grandpa gave me this watch, As I was the first grandson to graduate highschool. He lives in Vienna and he said he got this watch in the mid 1960s. I love the watch, its a zodiac. I went to a jeweler to get an appraisal and he appraised it at $16,800!!! Nice watch for a 17 year old ![]() Thanks ![]() |

Nice watch!
You should have another jeweler that is knowledgeable on Zodiac watches provide an estimate of value. I have a feeling that the first may be a little off. Do you by chance have a clear shot of the caseback or movement?

Wow sorry, I was in a rush, I forgot to mention that is actually the 2nd appraisal. The first appraisal was for $17,150.. We have to bare in mind that is replacement value..Not market value. I dont have a pic of the movement though.

I have one of the caseback though. My Samsung Galaxy S2 wont get a very good pic of the caseback.. There is a model number or serial number in the very middle of the caseback. And on the edge of the caseback it says "ZODIAC AUTOMATIC ANTIMAGNETIC WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANT. Also on the clasp, says Swiss made. On the left side of clasp it says "750" In a diamond or box shape. On the right side of the clasp it says "CHI" in a circle.

That is a beautiful Zodiac you have there. Hopefully you had it serviced and are enjoying it?
I have an old Longines solid gold that is rectangular in shape. It has a plastic snap-in crystal however and has absolutely no water resistance. It has a very tightly woven bracelet. I can't get it around my wrist however. I am much larger than I was in the 70's when it was purchased. I guess I should have it appraised and try to sell it to someone that would get some good use out of it. Thanks for the picture of your watch and let us know how you came out with the maintenence.

Hey, I would love to see your longines!! The jeweler that appraised my watch said in order to get a replacement watch of the same sort, He would replace it with a solid gold longines. And no, I just recently moved to Toronto, Ontario, So I was a little short on money myself, But within the next few weeks I am going to get my Zodiac serviced so I can start enjoying it
![]() Look forward to seeing your Longines ![]() James N |

I have a good digital camera and I need to take some pictures and try and get them on this forum. I haven't ever done it before but I need to try it anyway. Please keep in contact and let me know when you are able to get your beautiful watch in good working order.
