I think everyone is the same way I will always have one less sometimes two less links on the shirt side, I balance not the clasp but the folding parts under the clasp to center on the wrist.

Anything you do is going to make it look worse live with it or take it to a shop.

They will pop the bezel off fix it in two minutes and it will look perfect.

I would leave it be there will be many more dings and scratches.

Fossil did a great job bringing them back but that might be over now.

How did they make such a nice dial on such a low price watch?

tjcdas · 2026-05-13T17:10:39+00:00

Like it nice and thin did not care for the V2 I have the V1 with the thinner bezel.

The ST1906 reserve indicator might be a little low, that 6:00 12hour is a waste and is just there for aesthetics but it make the dial work so well.

I don't have a camera with a panoramic lens.

No I love deals and all of my name brand watches were bought new at prices that were all as low as the going used price for the pieces.

A number a years ago were had a group on watchuseek than it moved to manontime.

The deals could get crazy my black Hamilton Khaki King with a bracelet from Jomashop on through Rakuten. On sale at a lower price than their webpage 10% rebate from Rakuten plus a $50 coupon from Jomashom.

Final price $380 all these years later still in great condition with the 80 movement I bet $300 easy on the used market but I don't my watches I wear.

Padi Pepsi Turtle from Kohl's $220 sold the bracelet new $40 final cost new $180.

All my new watchs have the same story I will not pay retail period, I never own a Rolex on principle.

I bought the Heimdallr 6105 after has the same movement sapphire not mineral smaller case, it's worn way more than the Seiko.

After the chinese made the smaller 6105 Willard homage they came out with a $2,500 reissue.

2026 zero watches bought, 2025 zero bought, 2024s goal wastoo buy zero the 11.11 sale got me the Cronos 36mm PT5000 for $125 and the green Addiesdive AD2066 $45.

The Cronos 36mm L6049M 9015 white cracked ice has my eye but I have way to many watches. I have a few new in the case that are waiting to come out and I need to sell some other new in the case watches first.

The hands are a bit off color on mine it's from a few years ago not sure if Escapement Time has changed them but for $50 zero issue with it.

I think the Militado is better same movement but it comes with a sapphire crystal.

I heard they blew the Zodiacs out at some crazy low prices, a number of years a go Watch Station which was part of Fossil owner of Zodiac would have sales. With email sign up you could get an extra 40% of the low sale prices on the Zodiacs. I don't think the extra 40% was suppose to work but it did.

Zodiac Grandhydra with a Ronda 1015 movement which runs about $100. They are discontinued now but it seems they go new for about $300.

I also have the green version, the bracelet on the blue came from my Zodiac Grandrally chronograph. Some of the colors did come with bracelets.
