Unfortunately this piece had been back multiple times not only for alignment reasons but also at one point the power supply indicator wasn't working properly. I'm not sure if a complete overhaul was done this particular time. What was told to me was FPJ finally figured out how to solve the 'mysterious' alignment problem. There was no charge for the service. Of course at this point I won't really know if it's actually fixed until September which is the next month with 30 days. A collector friend asked yesterday why I would wait that long and not manually advance it to see. My view is I want to enjoy it as long as I can. I'm sure it's fine now and hope I won't have to part with again for a very long time. In the meantime I'm happy to take it day by day, watching the indicator advance and the strap darken.

Zodiaque - Finally back on the wrist!

After a long wait it's great to have the Zodiaque back home and on the wrist. If there is one bright side to long time spent in service it's that's I get to rediscover how much I enjoy this watch. Center hands of blue steel, a wonderful designed outer dia...  

Casual blue

Hard to capture the true color contrast of the hands and strap in this photo but hope you can get a sense. What's nice about the entire Octa range is that all are so comfortable to wear. Perfect size and perfect weight....  

I'm wearing the same today, with the same strap...

Brad, I sincerely hope that the watch doesn't have to go back again. Give us a status report at some point.

Definitely

Definitely will. Meanwhile, just curious when your Zodiaque is fully wound where the power reserve indicator points to. Is past the 120 marker, on it or just before it.

It's a good thing!

I'm happy that you got it back. The blue strap fits the watch really well, especially the blued-hands. Did the factory do a complete overhaul on the watch and were you made to pay for the work?

Very Happy for you, Brad
