I hate it when they have to go to the spa; it's like I'm missing an arm or a boob or some other necessary body part. But it's so sweet when they come home again. I got the call last night that my Zodiac SeaWolf was all fixed up and healthy again (its first service ever), so I rushed to my watchmaker to pick it up this morning.

Complete overhaul: cleaning, oiling, new mainspring, regulating, all new gaskets, pressure test. My watchmaker was impressed with the engine inside: by the end of the SeaWolf line, Zodiac was in the hands of Willie Gad Monnier, and he switched many of the Zodiac models to ETA movements and not Zodiac manufacture ones. This SeaWolf uses the "Top" grade ETA 2824-2, which he figured is pretty swank given the middle-of-the-roadness of the original Zodiac line. Whatever...I'm just doing the Happy Dance that I have my Zodiac back.
I hope my Tudor Ranger II is home soon, too!
