And, FYI, Zodiac is wholly owned by Fossil, Inc, the maker of "gas station" quality watches. So this will likely never appreciate for more than it is.

The terrible reviews posted on Zodiacs own website are surprising bad in regards to the reliability of the movement. Strange bc link above shows this to be a modified ETA 2824 workhorse.
Too bad, bc great looking watch.

It will change once the Fed lets the overdue recession finally play out.
Go too long without recession, and were looking at an all out crash as bad as 2008 but for very different reasons.
ETA hasn't really produced/supplied 2824 outside of Swatch group for YEARS. (other than few for support basis - to likes of IWC, etc.) Also, they kind of moved on to PM movements mostly. (PM80 mostly I believe last few years)
STP1-11 is NOT ETA movement BASED in traditional sense. It is ETA 2824 CLONE movement made by Fossil's movement factory in Switzerland like SW200 movement just from what I understand is at some what "lower quality".
So basically they copied ETA 2824's design specs and reproduced it like Sellita but I do not know how "close" their individual parts are or whether they are "part interchangeable" with 2824 movement parts.

Well FMe Sally
It's "modified" in the sense that it "sucks" is what I implied.
Yeah, Jake Gyllenhall and Mark Ruffalo, right on the box. In reality most of the vintage ones seem cheaper than this.
