Animal watches from 2003-ish

I’ve found a couple of threads on here with folks talking about Animal watches, so thought maybe someone could help me out…

I bought an Animal Ti watch back in 2003ish, just after I finished uni. Lovely thing, just the right size, did everything I need. Unfortunately last year I lost it on a beach in Ibiza 🙁

I’ve started hunting to try and find a replacement, but I’m at a loss as to working out the model (for the purpose of frequent ebay searching!).

It’s the same as this one, but with a black face rather than blue:

It’s not the “031” series – they had smaller pointier hands instead of the big chunky arrow. Does anyone know what model this is – or, even better, know where I might be able to find one??

Hi,

I have just checked and my Animal watch is a 031 Series. It’s a similar model to the one you have a photo of.

The case has the below detail written on it.
Animal Future Series Mode:031
Worldwide Freeride

I am currently wearing that exact same watch!

I’ve no idea what model it is but I’ve just started wearing mine again after fitting a new strap to it last night. It’s the black faced version of the one in the op’s post. Coincidence…?

No idea what happened to my ti strap though.

iBaa – that’s almost identical to the one I had, except on mine:
– a black dial, rather than carbon
– I *think* the hands were entirely green, rather than black on the non-pointy bit

Thank you! At least I know that I AM looking for a 031 Future Series. I think it’s the case that the version with the very thin clock hands is the ladies version (with a smaller face overall) and the bigger one was the men’s.

Obviously I’m now very jealous of you all – but at least I have somewhere to start the replacement watch hunt 😀 Thanks to all!

EDIT: Ladies version up on ebay atm: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-LADIES-ANIMAL-SPORTS-WATCH-WS031-RARE-100M-/200636931365?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2eb6e49d25

I’ve got one of the watches you speak of, but I won’t be able to lay my hands on it till tomorrow. Will confirm the model numbers then

It is an Animal Future Series Mode : 031
