the band is not original to the watch .

would like to know if any 1 knows a lil about this movement & watch , value ?

Nothing about the movement, but here is some background:

I always thought Zodiac watches were a slightly better version of Nixon watches (aimed to the skater, snowboarding crowd), but apparently they have some vintage ones. I doubt there are vintage Nixons yet.

This is the ASTROGRAPHIC Mystery Dial.

A great looking watch... but I like the 2000 version better:

The modern version features the ETA 2824 and sells at about $500.

Don't know about the movement of the original... but yours should sell at $150 if in good shape.

cheers

Something about the name "Zodiac" gives me the creeps....not sure why. Cool "Eruption" solo dude! Mix the Phaser down a bit and review the tablature and you'll have it perfect. (You did learn that from tablature right?) I enjoy "repping" Alex Lifeson stuff from tabs, good ones will tell you all the right effects to mix in too.

Sorry for the guitar hijack!

My dad has a gold plated version of this watch with a square case from the '70s. When I was growing up I was always fascinated by the watch.

It has SST on the dial so i assume its a high beat movement, 36,000 bph. Theres one on ebay for
