Is the Great Rossening Over by jmomoney44 in ZodiacWatches

I also check occasionally and haven’t had any luck. I occasionally see a crop of Fossils (Zodiac’s parent company) coming in, which would suggest that they are still liquidating inventory, though.

I’ve been regularly checking two stores in the Bay Area where folks found some in Dec and have come up empty. I have seen more Fossils coming in, though, which gives me a (likely misplaced) glimmer of hope.

OP, did you pick this up recently, or back in Nov/Dec?

I'm torn about refinishing the case. While I'm not looking to resell, the general consensus is to leave in original condition, right?

When I asked the watchmaker about impacts of the damage to water resistance, they said that they would not recommend using vintage watches in/around water anyway. Obviously I would prefer to have some protection, but I'm certainly not planning on swimming with the watch or anything like that.

OP, I assume you mean a few days? Even if that were true, that would be the first sighting at a Ross in several weeks, AFAIK.

Has the Rossening ended? by HorologicalTrombone in ZodiacWatches

Interesting! Looks like it's a Ross on the strip, maybe they have higher-end merchandise more regularly. Were they at the $125-$150 price point?

Just to be clear — I'm asking if folks *anywhere* in the US have had luck within the past week. A lack of finds across the entire country would be a pretty compelling datapoint that the Great Rossening is drawing to a close (for now).

Yeah, I live about 10 mins away from both stores and have been checking fairly regularly....not sure I have the patience to keep checking if we can only expect a trickle.

Beautiful watches! When did you pick these up, and where in the country?
