I’m not sure this qualifies as a deal, so let’s call it an “interesting oddity.” 44mm brass case, claimed Seiko quartz movement, screw down crown. I won this one in an auction for less, but the seller also has several colorways listed as Buy It Now for $75. Mine came with both the pictured leather s...

I can’t believe these are still available. If you’re OK with quartz and 44mm you can have a Nautus GMT with 50 atmospheres of WR on a bracelet for $79.99, down from the listed price of $305. White is sold out but several others colors are still available. I have the green and it’s a very nice travel...

Bertucci has restocked some refurbished watches. The most unusual is this digital. Like most Bertucci watches it features titanium and fixed lugs so it’s a pretty rugged choice. https://bertucciwatchbands.com/collections/bertucci®-certified-pre-owned-watches 1B3683E9-D4C9-4793-95BD-A9698D3CA612.png

My bespoke Full Gear arrived from Hong Kong today. My only complaint is that they sent it on a different strap than what I ordered. I wanted black but what I got is a strange dark olive color. The good news its that it's still a really thick Horween leather and I can darken it with some neatsfoot oi...

I apologize for falling behind. I have no excuse. I'll get them put together as soon as I can.

Don’t mean to be naggy. I just assumed you had forgotten. Or maybe you were still out looking for red pens LOL.

I decided to try one of the customized Full Gear watches. My wife decided she liked the orange hands so that’s what I specified. I’m hoping it has a nice sporty look when I see it in person.

From a Deep Blue email: titanium tritium quartz lefty for $180. AR sapphire, 300M WR. Unfortunately it’s a bit chunky at 45 mm x 15mm thick, but feature-wise it’s a lot of watch for $180.

I just saw this one on Facebook. The William Shatner limited edition Passages V2 by Egard. Dusted with meteorite dust. $395 if you preorder, $600 if you wait. I think the earth is the hour, the sun is the minute, and the Webb telescope is the second hand. https://passages2.egardwatches.com/?fbclid=I...

This one is from a deal I posted a couple of weeks ago and it just arrived yesterday. Sapphire, VH31 mechaquartz movement, 200m WR, all for $75 shipped. The alligator embossed leather strap is a bit plasticky and the lume isn’t fantastic, but I have a nice Xeric Horween strap that will work nicely. ...

Full Gear watches is offering 20% off with code SUMMER20 on their customizable tritium watches. I just discovered them today. They appear to be a recently formed Hong Kong company that lets you spec your own custom tritium watches. I'm extremely tempted but I'm going to need to do some more research...

Jomashop Seiko 5 deal reminiscent of bygone days, and on a bracelet too. $68.97 +$5 for shipping. https://www.jomashop.com/seiko-5-mens-watch-snke57.html

<$100 Tandorio NH35 sterile dial from eBay. I opted for the sterile dial because I just didn’t want a brand name reminiscent of an Indian clay oven on my watch. It’s definitely SKX ‘inspired’ to put it mildly but I think the bracelet might actually be better than the Seiko version. It’s running +11....
