    Zodiac Super Sea Wolf x Huckberry Farallon Islands Ltd editions

    Home run. I had no option but to order one. Great value and with a run of only 72 I'd imagine hold value well for those of a flipping persuasion.

    Just look at that dial.

    I’d love that. Seek to have a thing for blue green dials just now

    Beautiful dial and a stunner of a crystal and bezel insert. A tad small for my own taste at 40mm but it will sell out fairly quickly I think.

    The only thing that doesn't look right (on the watch in the photo's) is the bezel pip.

    That's very nice, but all gone on their site already I think - No surprise with only 72.

    Where did you order it from?? My googling skills have seen to have failed me.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    It look's stunning but I just have reservations about the movement.

    Certified as a chronometer with the highest levels of accuracy as defined by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute

    Powered by Fossil’s Swiss-made STP 1-11 automatic mechanical movement.

    Probably just me but I just wouldn't spend that much on a Fossil movement.

    Looks really nice. Bet it'll look killer on the yellow strap. Very tempted but I am abstaining this year until the mortgage is paid off.

    The movement is supposed to be excellent, and likely better than the other ETA clones according to some comparisons. Certainly wouldn’t put me off, in the way that a Miyota might have.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Don't know about the rest, but the dial in itself looks like it's worth the purchase!
    Looking forward to see wrist shots of this one

    Looks like these didn't sell out. Very tempted but I think the lug length makes it a bit big for what I'm looking for at the moment.
    Be great to see some incoming photos though.

    Not sure why Fossil as a parent company makes it any different to a Swatch group ETA either and there plenty of those at much higher prices than this.

    These did sell out BTW, within a day or so of launch

    Someone must have changed their mind then because when I posted that yesterday I could still add one to the basket. I can't now though.

    Nice dial, but it makes me think of space rather than anything related to the sea or diving!

    The yellow is not for me but I would definitely have ordered one if the minute hand and bezel had a more neutral colour accent - the dial is great. Hopefully Zodiac will apply this dial design to another edition soon.

    I suppose it's meant to be the underwater when sunrays are striking

    It is not often one sees a totally original feature on a simple 3-handed watch, but that dial texture centred off the top of the dial (on the lume pip perhaps) is very unique, effective and compelling.
    I really like that, and even though some of the rest of the design details are not my Cup of Tea, that would have been tempting.

    Well i must admit to liking it very much and i have no doubt there will be a queue of takers when it’s flipping time

    Well, it is (at least in the pics) a really beautiful design. For some it's even more important that it's such a limited run, for me it doesn't make a difference.

    Snap their hands off! You're unlikely to ever get a better offer.
