Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

[Jablecznik]

Thanks for mentioning this. I’d been looking for a box of some kind for around this kind of money and wasn’t completely sold on the Pelican case ideas. When retailing at $50 it’s worth about as much (or more, heh) than some of what’ll get stored inside, but I don’t care. It’s exactly what I need for my early collecting phase.

I have the 10-slot Wolf Windsor box. Got it from massdrop a couple years ago for $70. If this is anywhere near the quality of mine, $25 is definitely a deal.

Lol I was going to order one, but saw the shipping to Canada was $33 USD... RIP. Not spending more on shipping than the product itself haha

same to europe crazy

I also posted a Deal for this beaut "elsewhere" which comes to £141 (approx $182) with that Valentine's code at Creation V1414:

Black IP Case/Bracelet Seiko 5 Sports Bottle Cap SRPC65 Teal Dial Automatic, 4R36, Hardlex, 100M Water Resistance (Creation describe it as "Turquoise", looks more "Teal" to me)

https://www.creationwatches.com/product ... 13990.html
(Not my picture, got it from Google Images):

The Teal/Turquoise/Green beauty above is my favourite, but just to say Creation has a few other SPRCs:

Seiko 5 Sports Bottle Cap Automatic SRPC63 SRPC63K1 SRPC63K Men's Watch is also £141/$182 with code FD98Fhttps://www.creationwatches.com/product ... 13989.html

The "Bottle Caps" I've linky-ed are all "K" versions - https://www.creationwatches.com/product ... bottle+cap
but Creation has the "J"s as well (much more expensive, though) - https://www.creationwatches.com/product ... yword=srpc

The 45mm dial diameter puts some off, but according to a few reviewers it wears a few mm smaller, due to the shape of the lugs/dial.

PS: There's another hot topic discussed where I originally posted - does anyone know the situation about duty/customs with Creation? If I'm not allowed to mention I don't mind if you delete my comment.

Some say to choose Registered Airmail (free)/No Box. Others say to choose Royal Mail option/No Box. Apparently Customs/HMRC are very hot on catching out low declared item parcels these days (actually received one recently - the Aliexpress-bought Xiaomi Youpin Automatic W001M/Rado Coupole Classic "homage" - postman handed it over, no charge).

Alpina showed up this evening. Refurbished but on initial inspection appears brand new to my eyes. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201902 ... 9bf5b1.jpg[/IMG]

Congrats! I am on the fence too but even on the extreme sailing model lume was too bad on Alpina. Can you do a lume shot or how it is compared to C1 lume?

Not the brightest lume out there - here's a comparison - left to right is the Alpina, Helm Vanuatu (BGW9), Helson Shark Diver

But that Alpina is a beauty, thanks for the lume shot.

I didn't know that Creationwatches declare lower value for their watches. Are they?
From my experience, with DHL express free shipping, you will pay ALL customs duties.

I don't normally look for deals, but this one seems to have actively sought me out. WOLF is running a 50% off sale on all the products on this page:

https://www.wolf1834.com/category/valentinesday

with code "lookoflove." Most notably, I think, you can pick up this six-piece watch box for only $25.

Heh, well advice would be to double the size of the watch box and then factor it by 5-6. This is an infectious hobby that takes allot to kick so buy big the first time!

Yeah, I had a box that would hold 8 watches, then I bought another one that would hold 20 and I still have watches without a home. I really think I need to reduce my collection to fit in the boxes I have. Of course, it would just be easier to buy another box, or maybe a half dozen winders...

Just remembered I still have a $20 8 slot wolf box from 2 years ago that I haven't even taken out of the box yet. [emoji21]

No, I haven't made it clear, the Xiaomi Youpin was from the WUS thread (kudos, No1VIPER) and was an Aliexpress listing. Not sure what Creation's postal/Customs practices are as I've not ordered - yet.

In fact, I'll Edit the above so there's no confusion.

After helping a member here find this watch, I realize that it is quite a good deal for under $40 USD. It was out of stock or over $90 on the first 60 or so sites I searched. Since he already got his, I share it here in case others want to get one.
