I saw the following post over at PMWF a few weeks ago. It was posted by
Jittery Jim.

"I came across this Zodiac out in the wild tonight More specifically I
spotted it inside a case at our local Ross. I tried for a pic but the
glass reflected too much of the floor for it to be decent. It's this
model of the Oceanaire.

Oceanaire collection is almost complete ZO8006.1

Asking price? $199. Was I tempted? Sure. Did I give in? Nope. :-) Still
nice to see an automatic watch in Ross of all places, especially in this
neck of the woods. We don't get many of them automatic watches up here
in North Idaho."


So.......I called the store to inquire about purchasing the watch. They
don't allow any purchases over the phone. I got the SKU from them and
called a number of my local Florida stores in the hopes they might have
it in stock. No luck. I even called a number of stores in Albuquerque
NM where I have family. No luck there either. Oceanaire collection is almost complete Frown

After a week or so of pining after the watch, I called them and thought
that maybe they could transfer the watch to my local Ross store. Again
no luck. They won't do that either.

So I PM'ed Jim over at PMWF and asked him a huge favor. I asked if he
would go by the Ross and pick up the watch for me and ship it. Oceanaire collection is almost complete Th_fingers-crossed-emoticon%5B1%5D

He agreed to do so! I PayPal-ed him an amount to cover the taxes, fees
and shipping. He shipped it Monday via USPS Priority. I am hoping it
will arrive tomorrow. Oceanaire collection is almost complete Greenstars%5B1%5D

So now when it does get here my Oceanaire collection will contain all
the versions I know about.

Very cool!

At one time I had yellow, orange, black, and blue dials.

Yellow Oceanaire was one of only two Zodiacs I kept!

Congrats on you own personal Team Oceanaire!

Great bang for the buck...after Fossil bought the rights, they have been using Chinese disquised movements (now called Claro-Semag), I think.

Have you ever looked for pre-Fossil Zodiacs? Saw one on the Japan auctions, a chrono...looked really nice!

WOW Hobbit!! That's indeed a very collection of Oceanaires, specifically the orange, blue, and the yellow are the one's that I loved the most. I think that the one that would get by tomorrow would be the best of them all. I really liked the strap of the watch, which made it really looks quite sporty. I think that should post a picture of the Oceanaires kept beside one another after you get the final one tomorrow. Just give it a thought...
