Post by: FatalXception on March 26, 2002, 09:56:59 AM: I bought a Perry Ellis Chronograph, last year, it was $120 (CDN). I\'ve been very happy with it. It\'s stainless steel, surrounding a dark blue face, with light blue timers. If I find a picture, I\'ll edit it in.

Post by: on March 26, 2002, 09:58:38 AM: Here\'s mine. It\'s smaller than the pic makes it out to be, and the face is bluish/purple iridescent. I refuse to wear Wal-Mart watches, and I refuse to pay over $100. I suppose if I were blingin\', I would spend more.

but its different than these colors - the face is blue and the two little parts on the strap are gold and the part with the 15,30,45,60 is gold also

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on March 26, 2002, 10:06:18 AM: It looks very nice Sara. What material is the strap made of?

Sublimesjg yours is great. Those kinda watches work really fine. My brother wanna buy one of that type. Is it titanium?

Post by: kopking on March 26, 2002, 10:11:39 AM: ive got a animal watch...it was £30 reduced from £100, cos te hop was closing down...il try to get a link for it
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: on March 26, 2002, 10:15:01 AM: It\'s all stainless steel. I would have prefered titanium - lighter, non-corrosive, but all the titanium Fossils are big and manly. I\'m happy with stainless - my skin will eat away the gold and silver "electroplate" after about a year.
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on March 26, 2002, 10:19:18 AM: Yes, titanium is lighter than stainless steel, but less strong too. Anyway, I would preffer titanium cause it weight. I hate "2-kgs" watches. Mine is about 73 grams, and the strap is made of resine and a hard cloth that I don\'t know the name (special for mountain).

Post by: videoholic on March 26, 2002, 10:20:18 AM: This thread should be changed to "Which Fossil do you own?"

Here is mine. Had it for a couple years. Had a couple others before this one.

Post by: Troglodyte on March 26, 2002, 11:32:03 AM: I\'ve got a modified pocket watch that clips onto my belt. People always make good comments about it. People like me because of my watch. Or is it because of my PS2 and plethora of games?
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: project86 on March 26, 2002, 11:44:54 AM: Here is a cool idea. A watch that you can play video games on…Hmmm, a little small for me though.

$10 on ebay how can you go wrong? It also makes the chicks laugh when they ask the time and I press the button. :D

I also got a shiny Pulsar, Fossil, & Timex but I\'m sure you guys would rather see this. :nerd:

Post by: on March 26, 2002, 01:52:54 PM: Remember those "universal remote" watches that came out about 7-8 years ago? You could program them to operate your TV and VCR. Those were good for a few juvenile laughs during biology films in the 9th grade.

Post by: Dragnair on March 26, 2002, 08:16:40 PM: I love watches Lol I thought I was a geek. Anyways, my watch is a WWII watch use by my Grandpa I don\'t know the real name of it but it\'s really old school and that\'s why I like it. I\'m not to into the whole "futuristic robitic-arm watches" that are out today *cough* .

Post by: theomen on March 26, 2002, 11:07:20 PM: I\'m an analog watch man, I can\'t stand digital watches, they seem alright for the young\'ens, though. I have a couple Fossils, a Jules Jurgenson, but I\'m currently wearing a blue faced Relic, \'cause it matches my clothes.
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: GmanJoe on March 27, 2002, 05:09:45 AM: Ok...seriously, I own a Swiss Pocket Watch.

I stopped wearing wrist watches about 4 years ago coz I kept smashing them. The only watch to survive long enough was Timex. Yep, takes a lickin\' but keeps on tickin\'. The wrist band was torn up though. So I bought a Swiss Army pocket watch.

The best. It\'s accurate to like 3 seconds after 10 years or something like that.

Me too, me too.

Currently I own a no-name watch that cost me the whopping amount of 10 dollars. But it shows the time and date so that\'s good enough for me right now. When I get the money I\'ll buy a classy (expensive) watch. :)

Post by: nO-One on March 27, 2002, 07:50:10 AM: Well sadly the pos watch died, so I use my cellphone as a watch now.
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on March 27, 2002, 09:04:42 AM: It seems that people like a lot watches around here. Are Fossils very popular in USA or what?
Title: My new wristwatch! Check out inside.
Post by: THX on March 27, 2002, 09:17:50 AM: Fossils have the best "looks great/great price" ratio. If you wanted to get something that looked similar to a Fossil with a more well-known name brand you\'d end up paying about $75 more.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on March 27, 2002, 09:22:10 AM: But Fossils belong to Lotus, aren\'t they?
