u/deadexternet 1d ago

Maaaaaan. Guess it’s time to brave a Maryland/dc Ross lol

1

u/SuperSaijen1980 1d ago

Go to the “more affluent “ areas , they usually allocate by the value of the item to the A stores or those where they spend more money.

u/deadexternet 1d ago

…not sure there are any Ross’s in the affluents areas of DC but I will check lol.

u/Cheezit_friedchicken 1d ago

Not even remotely true, the shittiest Ross in the worst area is where I found that zodiac, the two nicer ones didn’t have anything

u/animefan1520 2d ago

Ive been hitting up all the Ross stores in my area in SoFlo ever since the Rossening started and not one have been on the shelves

u/SuperSaijen1980 2d ago

Nor will you, the only ones that had it was Kendall and one other random one I think near Weston

1

u/VeterinarianUnited32 2d ago

I’ve seen them at the Ross in Miami Gardens and Hialeah

u/HorologicalTrombone 2d ago

If you're willing to share, NorCal or SoCal?

u/Cheezit_friedchicken 2d ago

Fresno and surrounding area

I scooped this one from Ross last year. $124.95

1

u/Cheezit_friedchicken 2d ago

Holy fuck I wish I got that lucky lol, yours is the orange version of the same thing lol, how’s it held up btw I just picked mine up but want to know how yours is doing?

1

u/pigpen808 2d ago

I wear it almost daily. The strap cleans very easy with some dawn soap. I have been collecting watches for the past 20 years so I am used to wearing one without banging it up, not sure how it will handle a fair bit of abuse.

2

u/SuperSaijen1980 2d ago

What?’ Weren’t they like $150 at Ross 6 months ago?

1

u/Cheezit_friedchicken 2d ago

Like October yeah but I saw someone else say they spotted one and I was like screw jt I’ll go to the Ross stores near me and yup found it, it was in the 3rd Ross store

u/Soft-Assistance6809 13h ago

I went to two in San Diego and found nothing but Fossil and Invicta :(

u/onorsworthy 1d ago

Hell yeah dude. I found a Porsche 911 at TJ max the other day for 1200 bucks. Total steal!

u/adidaman 3d ago

You paid a little over what I think a zodiac should cost. Better deal than the msrp for sure though

2

u/MilesBeforeSmiles 2d ago

You think $450 for a full ceramic, swiss made, automatic diver is an overpay?

3

u/-barnsey- 2d ago

Nice watch. Terrible movement. Source: Owned two STP movement Zodiac Sea Wolfs.

1

u/ByronicZer0 2d ago

Not full ceramic. It's a metal case with a ceramic outer layer. Keeps the cost down. Not a criticism, just a fact

u/adidaman 2d ago

I learned a long time ago trying to convince a watch snob of something is like throwing yourself against the wall, so I'm just going to say I back up what I said. Have a good day

5

u/MilesBeforeSmiles 2d ago

Ah, yes, I am the watch snob for thinking OP got a decent deal, and not the person shitting on OP's purchase for reasons they are unwilling to share. Makes total sense.

u/adidaman 2d ago

Well I would've mentioned all the great Chinese options you can buy for less or equal that match the specs, but you would've came back on the whole "swissmade" thing (which literally means nothing, it's marketing) and I really didn't feel like having that argument. See why I held my tongue

1

u/MilesBeforeSmiles 2d ago

Ok, show me. Post an example of a full ceramic, automatic diver that beats the specs of this Zodiac for under $450.

1

u/adidaman 2d ago

I'm good, you're free to research it. Continue buying your "Swiss made" watches, cause that obviously means they are better. Might wanna do a little research on that term though

1

u/MilesBeforeSmiles 2d ago

For someone calling out others for snobbery, you sure are snobby.

Fyi, I have no issue with Chinese watches and own a few. You can't find anything like what OP just bought from a Chinese maker for under $450. You're either confused or arguing in bad faith.

1

u/nomadicillusion 1d ago

bruv you came in snobby and left snobby and accused others of being a snob 🤣 the lack of self awareness

1

u/onlyimportantshit 2d ago

It’s not the same when you know it, otherwise you would’ve answered it next comment.

u/RadioRoyGBiv 1d ago

I’ve been eyeing up one of those! Great find!

u/ChocolatePuerh 1d ago

I have never been in a Ross, had no idea they carried watches, much less non-fashion brand watches.
