    Looking for a Zodiac Autographic parts list

    Thanks for the link, I must admit that I confused about the information provided regarding Hands ? x 1.30 x 0.90 x 0.22mm would this be helpful for determining the correct second hand. Also if I locate a vintage or NOS crown what size would I need.

    Looking for a Zodiac Autographic parts list

    I picked up a Zodiac that needed a little TLC. Missing the original crown and a proper second hand. I'm not sure what the proper part are. The 17 jewel movement is stamped 1420 and is an automatic. Any assistance would be appreciated. Gary

    ABRA Shock Proof question

    Well I took the watch back to my repairman. He fixed it in 30 seconds. He put the stem back in and told me the "hole" was egg shaped from wear. He showed me how to set the watch by putting a little upward pressure on the winding stem when I pull it out.
