This is an ex-store display example of the popular Fossil Machine FS5900 men’s wristwatch. It comes with a gunmetal grey stainless steel case, a matching grey dial and a brown leather strap. The watch was previously used for customer try-ons in a high street retailer and has been serviced with a new battery and resealed, so it is in perfect working order.

Condition Notes
The watch is an ex-display piece and shows only minor storage and handling blemishes. The glass is flawless. Because it has been a demonstration item, it may not have the original factory packaging, but it has been fully inspected, authenticated and given a new battery by a professional watchmaker. The original RRP was £149, making this a good saving on a genuine designer timepiece.
Buying Ex-Display
Ex-display and clearance stock comes from shop windows, counter displays or overstock from retailers. Such items are often discounted because the outer box may be missing or the watch has been handled. The movement and case are still authentic and fully functioning. As with any pre-owned or ex-display watch, you should check the strap length and clasp; this example has a full length brown leather strap. Because each ex-display piece is a one-off from a retail end-of-line batch, availability is limited.
