Re: I Was Thinking More About the 1960s; No Bashing from Me

: I was thinking more about the 1960s than the 1970s, but I will
: welcome any information that you can provide about the Zodiacs
: of either period. Would love to see this Zodiac catalog from
: 1972. Surprised to see that Zodiac was still using V72s, when
: the Heuers were selling in the $185 to $220 range.

: I will stand by the "Poor Man's Heuer" phrase, as we have
: been using the term to describe the prevailing prices in today's
: market for vintage chronographs, when the Zodiacs (and Clebars,
: Dugenas and Aristos) are selling at a huge discount to the
: Heuers.

: I'm not sure why you expect to be bashed . . . I (and most other
: members of this community) respect people who bring information
: to this forum and conduct polite discussions. By the way, I have
: a few Zodiacs, and really enjoy wearing them. A couple of them
: are shown below.

Jeff, I'm not sure Zodiac offered any chronographs in the 60's. The earliest I can find are from 1971. Maybe Clebar offered some. As you know Clebar was a division of Zodiac at that time.
