Fossil Titanium Watch (for TiBook users)

pimentoLoaf · Jul 18, 2003, 10:48 PM

Pretty good deal for $115, don't you think?

Flowbee · Jul 18, 2003, 11:16 PM

Just make sure to take it off before resting your wrists on your titanium Powerbook.

MrMacMan · Jul 18, 2003, 11:19 PM

You must be frikken joking, I've had MY Titanium Watch for over a YEAR!!!!

Screw that.

The chain on the watch you linked to looks bad...

Phil Of Mac · Jul 19, 2003, 12:13 AM

Wow...a TiBook accessory...

What next, Power Mac G4 accessories?

tazo · Jul 19, 2003, 12:40 AM

expensive, and not very attractive. I like fossil's BLUE line a lot more, plus they are less expensive

Ah thank you.

Yeah my mom had a nice fossil, 3 sec under water and it was gone, the face (of the watch, inside it) was under water.

Kwyjibo · Jul 19, 2003, 01:06 AM

I got an increadibly real looking Rolex in Bali, Indonesia for ~$2.00 USD.

Its hard to impress me with watch deals after that

.

eyelikeart · Jul 19, 2003, 02:00 AM

hmm...I'll stick with my stainless steel Fossil instead...

I don't like the band links on that new one very much...

Wow, $2.
Even more, you went to Indonesia.

I'm sure its made from the best labor they could get :thinks about posting what he is thinking:
nah I couldn't do that to you.

Instead I will insert a crude joke.
Scem0 that watch is made so well if you look down right now you will see the X fall off the Role ----- x

robbybogers · Jul 19, 2003, 02:28 AM

I have that watch. It is really nice I haven't had any trouble with it. The only difference is that I bought it Refurbished from a Fossil Outlet Store for $40.

Abstract · 02:43 AM

I have a Tissot. --->

Its nice, the face is a beautiful blue. And the best thing is that I saw tiny Swiss elves make it by hand. Actually, one of them stopped working, and so I kicked him in the face and he worked even harder.

You're lucky you got your watch in Indonesia. Lazy Swiss workers have to be taught a lesson sometimes. Also, children have smaller hands and better eyes, and so they can prodd around inside the watch much easier.

I'm joking, of course

tazo · Jul 19, 2003, 05:12 AM

I have a really nice watch. It makes calls too.

Don't fossil watches have an 11 year warranty?

Anyhow,

I got a fossil blue degrade dial and I am wondering if anyone knows how to make the metal band a little smaller without having having to take it to the place where it was bought.

Thanks.

u got to take it in, theirs like a screw that holds it together.

I need a new watch but don't want to spend a lot. (I really want a tag heur but over 1,000 is a bit much) Any ideas on brands besides fossil.

Your link didn't work, but I bought this Fossil Blue watch http://watchoutlet.com/ViewDetail/In...tch_AM3541.htm for 79.99 like 3-4 years ago and it still works great. It was my first moderately expensive watch (yes to me 79.99 is expensive) before that I was a Timex Digital person. I've replaced the battery once, but thats about it. The face is a little scratched, but I've banged it into a few things since I've had it. Nice to know it has an 11 year warranty. Of course I don't have the receipt anymore. And to the person who asked there is a really, really really small screw that holds the links on. I would have believed it untill I watched the Jewler take it apart with a screw driver. So My vote is for Fossil they seem to make nice watches.

Is it completely tasteless if I laughed at my own post!?!? C'mon, it was from 3 years ago, and I found it gosh-darned, ass-slapping funny.

I'm always happy to entertain da ladiez.......and myself. And I still have that Tissot. I got that thing in Venice while backpacking alone, so it has a lot of sentimental value.

Nice watch. I like how it's waterproof to 200 metres. I now have 3 watches that can go to that depth, and yet the furthest I've ever "delved" (correct word usage?) is around 30 m. Maybe cheaper watches would do the trick?

Oh, and

I have a fairly basic Fossil "Steel" blue dial that's about 5-6 years old now. Gone through a couple of batteries, otherwise no complaints. Looks somewhat slimmer than the current "chunky" metal watches they seem to have.

I too would love a Tag-Heuer, but I'm really not a bling kinda guy.

I need to check out Fossil's Starck-designed watches and see if they look any good in person. I like fun, completely non-traditional watches for a change of pace (such as the old Spoon watches from Seiko/Pulsar), and this one looks pretty out there:
