As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2022

Interesting coincidence, I was just about to post another Tissot Seastar deal. Spanish shop Larrabe is selling the new 36mm Tissot Seastar 1000 with a high-accuracy ETA quartz movement (+/- 10 seconds per year) for 329.64 € (415 € MSRP): https://www.larrabe.com/en/tissot-t-sport/14751-tissot-t-sport...

The real question is, did anyone here happen to get their hands on one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Almost got one here in Paris this morning but scalper gangs spoiled the party and police had to close down the shop after about 15 customers got in (most of them the leaders of those same scal...

They are a 1/4 inch rigid felt. Thanks a lot, that is very inspiring. I have the same type of IKEA closet, I will probably do the same (only on drawer though :-) ).

Nice flat mesh.

I'm no horologist, but don't most bracelets have two parts?

Otherwise, your watch falls off your wrist. In my experience, anyway. ;)
Indeed they do! ;-)
