The Gemnation $48 charge for the phantom Revue Thommen is still pending on my card. I’m not really impressed with Gemnation at the moment.

Not much left but try heading over to Jet.com and checking out all the Seikos for $123. No idea if this **** is for real but I'll be finding out soon enough. Don't go for the obvious 6r15 stuff. It's already sold out.

I ordered 4 and got email notification of the order confirmation. Think it might end up like the RT’s at Gemnation but worth a shot.

A few BF’s ago I ordered 2 SNK809 for $23 each from Jet. They’ve been known to have some crazy pricing but I remember distinctly there was nothing from them on BF last year. Maybe they’ve changed their tune.

NAD but quick review on my Tat2 auto which arrived today. Will snap pictures later.

Pros
1. Fantastic case with good weight on wrist. Caseback engraving is gorgeous.It looks nicer then the Halios Puck in my opinion.
2. The indices are large and easy to read however AR is non existent.
3. The so called rotor noise of the Miyota 9015 is barely discernible.
4. Wears like a 42mm due to non existent lug despite size of 45MM
5. Think will be an easy strap monster

Neutral
6. Time is accurate but however due to the very large indices at 3,6,9 and especially 12, it eats into the 1-2 min mark and nothing can be done about that.

Cons
7. As mentioned above, AR on crystal non existent and reflects anything/everything. I find it annoying. Unsure how to fix this other than getting a compatible crystal with proper AR coating to swap with.
8. Bracelet is decent but had some small scratches on it when arrived and the pins holding the links seems bent or fitted poorly/loose when I got it resized. My local watch dealer who resized it asked if it was a used/previously resized bracelet. It feels a little cheap.
9. The crown wobbles a little and also has play as in I can rotate the crown in for a few mm in either direction and the the hour hand doesn't move. I got in touch with them and the reply received was that it is within spec as everything is still functioning. They did offer to repair under warranty if it stops functioning. However as they're going out of business, how are they going to honor the warranty?.

I've not decided if wish to keep or sell but will try the strap change first and see how I like the watch. The AR coating is probably my first annoyance and as for the crown wobble and play, i don't know if it's fixable but once screwed in, it seems to be ok. The case itself is definitely the best thing about the watch and stare worthy :D

Was able to order three watches (SKX011, SKX007 and SRPA82).

It shows the SKXs coming from something called "Egrode" and the SRPA from Discount Shop.

Not going to hold my breath.

I was able to checkout with an SKX007J1 for $122, so let’s see what happens! Had similar results as others when it came to trying to purchase different models. Pepsi Turtle would have been a fun one at that price. Good luck to all you other speculators out there.

Well I snagged a SKX013 and a titanium INOX. They're from the same seller. So we'll see.
