I am looking for a Fossil watch that was available around 6 years ago. Unfortunately I don't know the exact model and I don't have a picture. It had a large, brown leather strap like the one below:It's clockface was a bit unusual. It was round and stainless steel but the mechanism was like in this one:Does anyone know the exact model or where to buy it? Or at least where should I look for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They make a pretty cool one that is very inexpensive. Obviously, they aren't top notchbut how do they hold up for their value?All of their watches are pretty slick.

Planet Ocean bezel play / feels flimsy - is this normal?
Hi folks: I've recently bought an older planet ocean chrono. It's from 2006, reference 2150.50. Love the watch, overall looks really nice and runs great. However when I compare it with my Rolex subc I find the PO bezel feels quite loose (yes I understand it's an aluminium insert) . The click is smoother, but when you touch the bezel gently there's some play. The bezel clicks fine and lines up fine otherwise. Is this expected ? Other watch I've owned is Tudor blackbay and a Seiko tuna and the bezel action feels quite tight and firm on those.I also noticed the bracelet is much nicer on the Rolex with much better tolerance and less play.Cheers
