Anyone have any of these or collected over the years since there inception in the early 2000's?
I remember when they came out in the magazine for sale back in the day and didn't want to spend the money at the time as all my extra money went into one of my mopars, recently picked up the yellow one and a silver one. Just a heads up if you have one that will not work with a new battery you can send it in to Fossil and have a new movement put in for $54, that is what I did with this yellow one.

If I recall the Hemi Orange ones were in high demand at the time.
Wanted one then, but now I don't wear watches anymore, so saved me a buck or two wink

I have a silver one, no idea if it ever worked, I took the top of the box once to see if it was in there...LOL

Here’s the silver, working a deal on this red one comes with original case, ect. Originally thought it was pink probably just the lighting.

I have a red one and a yellow one.

I wore the red one constantly doe about 12 years and the case looked like it.
I talked to Rob Wolf one year at reg Mopar Nats when I bought the yellow one from him and he said he had some the the internals were bad from the start and he sole me a new case and band from one of them.
Now the red one looks like new again.

I rarely wear either of them anymore since I rarely wear a watch these days..

When I was getting ready to head out to Bowling Green For the Holley MoParty I put on the Viper watch that I bought about the same time as the MCG red Hemi watch. laugh2

I also have a small collection of pocket watches.

I totally forgot about these- I was gifted one, I believe the color was called smoke? Only opened to admire, never wore it. Not a watch guy, and with what I've done for a living, can't wear one.

I have a red, white and blue one.

I think the white one is rare. As I remember the white ones were supposed to have orange lettering and the first few came with black. MCG kept the black lettered ones for a while then sold them off.

My wife bought all three for me as Birthday or Christmas presents. I wear them to car shows on occasion.

Nice collection BeeOrange.
Just paid for the red one I posted above and got tracking from the seller, coming from Canada.

Same here. Got the Hemi Orange one for my Dad years ago and it stopped working as well. Well, that's not technically accurate, it is correct, twice a day lol!!!

If I remember correctly, there were 426 of each color made.
Hemi orange was the first one to sell out when they were new.
It's also the color that brings the most money when you see them for sale.

So I added a royal blue to the collection, still keeping an eye out for a White Hat or Hemi Orange. Funny how you find one and start looking around and find others, got the collecting bug from my father. Lol
