Very very nice ! Nice box ! Watch and box all done very tastefully. My only "complaint" is the new-style Atari Logo on the back of the watch, but what the heck. The logo on the front looks to be the original !!!
There's also an Asteroids sticker included it seems:

All in all, it will be hard to actualy unpack and use this...will be a collector's item for sure ;)
To Eric: The Limited Edition IS black and white and much more beautyful to my taste.
To Ray: The Centipede does have only 1 spider, check out the animated pictures on the fossil site. I never liked Centipede though. Even though I got 4th in the national championships in 1983 ;)

Cool Level42 when you get yours please post some good pics here. And don't stick it on a shelf as a "collectible," you should wear it and enjoy it. Don't let the "Limited Edition" B.S. fool you. You will always be able to get another one of these. The whole concept of manufactured collectibility is a scam. I am not saying they are lying about the production numbers, but there aren't necessarily 5000 people in the world dying to have one of these. I mean, I would have thought BYOAC'ers would be the perfect customers for this sort of item, and the total lack of enthusiasm in this thread goes to show how poorly these will sell. That's why they are available on Ebay for Buy-It-Now $69! So like I said, when you get it, rip it open (carefully, I agree the packaging is cool and should definitely be saved) and wear it and have fun with it.
Eric.
XtraSmiley:
Well I'm bidding (netrunner2) so don't get in a bidding war with me!
Thanks for posting, these rock!
Level42:
Thanks Eric, no worries, I will definitly wear it. I never saw the use of buying something like this and putting it up a shelf for collecting sake.
But I will keep the box and other stuff of course.
Not sure about the 5000 number. On 6 billion people worlwide, this seems very limited indeed ;)
Anyway, I don't really care about the collectability. I love the watch, the idea, and the very tasteful work by Fossil. So glad the Fuji on the watch is the original. Even the Fuji's on the box are the original's. Only the tags have the new ugly style logo...anyway, hope it arrives soon, and I'll put up some pics ;)
I bet first thing people will be saying is, can I play a game ? Then I will say yes and let them figure out the controls :P
And don't worry about me bidding, I opted for "Buy it now". The price seemed very reasonable 69,95 USD compared to the online Fossil store.
Tahnok:
$70?! Perhaps I will get one sooner than later.
