After weeks of indecision, I finally decided to go for it:

Dan Byers purchased the same watch recently (albeit on a bracelet), and his positive post helped make up my mind. As did, to a somewhat lesser extent, Florida Sam's Is Happy Day! report on his Post about a Chronograph version. But mainly 'twas the fact that I got it at a grrrr8 price. Smiley Lotsa watch for $42, I think!

Of course, even after I made up my mind to fire, I still had to choose 'tween the bracelet and strap versions. In the end, despite Dan and Sam's raves on the bracelet, I chose the strap. To my eyes the strap is better match for the classic lines of the case, and even for the Pilot or Flieger Watch-on-crack ( Eek! Smiley ) dial. The fact that the bracelet version was nearly twice the price may have influenced me, too. Rolling on the floor laughing my a.. off!

So now the wait begins. I am not happy! It's shipping from, of all places, Italy. Thank you! Dan and Sam for your help!

Follow the link to read the original thread (and to see pics of the front of the watch Smiley ).

On the fence no longer!

After reading Florida Sam's review I called my local Fossil outlet and they had one Black Face Chrono Z02504. I asked then to hold it for me and I picked it up Saturday and I have not taken it off yet. Watch a great watch for the price, it gets many stares and compliments.
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it too! Post contains no message text (views: 6)

The one that had the Valjoux Post about a watch containing a battery or Quartz moudule. Extremely nice watches. He does not baby his watches, and it looks brand new as of a few weeks ago! Good eveyday watch.
