Newest watch - CH2565

This is the watch I wanted for Christmas 2009, but it was unavailable on the Fossil site, well it was there, but not in stock so I put it on my wish list and shortly thereafter it disappeared from the site altogether.

The watch business must be unreal because this is not the first time this has happened. These watches need to be online for at least a few months for people to see them and start coming up with the money or special occasions.

I mentioned this to my wife and a quick search on eBay later she had bought me a brand new one for $79 and free shipping - it even came with the tin. Happy Valentines Day to me. I really love this watch, it looks solid and the tan & wood dial really set it off.

The watch that started it all: Fossil Cruise-O-Matic

Back in 1996 I visited a Fossil outlet store and was immediately drawn to this Fossil Cruise-O-Matic watch. I loved the vintage 40's style and the price was fantastic ($20).

It came in a little cardboard box and I had no idea at the time it was a limited release or part of a bigger collection. I wore this watch from about 1996-1999 and it accompanied me in one of my senior pictures for high school in 1997 - ladies you’re welcome!

In that time I sent it back to Fossil three times for repair. Once was a leather band/battery combo. Second time the crystal broke and the third time it was unrepairable. Fossil sent me a replacement catalog and I picked the most expensive watch to replace my Cruise-O-Matic. Along with the request for a replacement watch I asked Fossil to send me my old unrepairable watch back to me. They fulfilled my request and here it is. Still my favorite watch.

The beginning

I bought my first Fossil watch in 1996 and starting collecting Fossil watches and Fossil memorabilia around 2000. I’ve noticed quite a bit of Fossil collection chatter out there on the Web and lately I seem to keep running into the same people on eBay bidding on the same items I am.

From what I can see no real site exists where Fossil collectors can socialize online. I hope www.undergroundfossilcollectors.club becomes the Fossil collection hub with lots of input from various collectors.
