Best 50 bucks I ever dropped!

Scored this Zodiac "Renegade" for $50.00, brand new, with warranty. I've noticed the internet photos of Zodiacs do not do them justice - not sure if I did any better, the first photo was trying to be moody but I guess came out too dark.

I took a chance on this watch because it reminded me sort of like a 1960's flower child version of that famous square case dive watch. But this thing is a beauty, a solid hunk, 100 m (claimed) waterproof and one of those watches that you put on and it instantly feels perfect.

50 bucks! Not everyone's cup o' tea, I'm sure, but I'm happy :-d

I'll join the crowd, PM me too!

BTW, I've posted sources before and have seen others do it. As long as you are not promoting your own store or constantly spamming, I believe it's all good.
That's a great looking watch! Congratulations and enjoy...:-!
metro watch co, right?
too bad if so, they only ship to US
Nice watch!! I noticed my local TJ Maxx stores are filling up with Zodiacs and Fossils, some prices OK...
Shoot me a PM as well please.
Thanks!
wow ....
wonderful.......
well done.......:-!:-!
So many PM's, so I guess I'll post here. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to say where I bought it?

Stop me if I'm doing something wrong, I'm new to WUS and don't know if this is allowed. But I got it at Metro Watch Co. on the famous auction site, they're supposedly the official Zodiac online source. I've bought a few from them, excellent service and fast shipping.

Here's the secret - look for the "Make an offer" watches and make him an offer, but don't lowball it, look around and make a reasonable offer. Some of the watches they have are auction only, others have the Make an offer.

On one hand, I don't want to reveal a good source, but on the other hand, making more Zodiac lovers is a good thing! :-!
50 bucks is an awesome deal. i prefer the black dial. congrats man :-!
It's a spring pin just like any other strap watch...u just have to push the leather back a bit to get to it!
Cool. I've never seen that before. Sounds like a much, much, much better system than the fragile screw-in wire lugs used by Panerai and the homage makers on radiomir cases.
I'm in love with the case and dial, but the hands. Does um, any one think the minute hand is a little, phallic? Does it look better in person?

Man...are u being serious? :-x
Completely serious. It looks very strange to me in pictures. I would much prefer a basic sword style hand.

im lovin the hands and lugs the most! great looker! :-!
They are both great looking watches. Nice balance and look.
$50 plus $7 ship plus $3 tax so $60 total for me. That was the lowest I could get after making 4 offers. Looks like they had 15 or so to sell and I got the last one. It's always that 'last one thing' that gets me. Kinda wanted the black but everyone has black. Looking forward to getting it. $60 for a Swiss made and solid watch is a good deal any day. Thanks OP.
Just got mine today. This watch is BIG and very nice. The strap is also thick and nice. Great watch for the money.

Thanks OP!
Hey guys, love it but too big for me. Put it on wrist once.

Selling for $65 shipped if anyone wants it

Putting in sales forum tonite just thought I would ask you guys first.
