Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

[jima]

There are SEVEN different colorways of the Invicta Pro Diver in 40mm at the Invicta Store, Automatics, for $58 bucks.

Here is a link to the search list of 40's: https://invictastores.com/last-call?cas ... ender=1649
And a link to the Black Dial: https://invictastores.com/last-call/inv ... apture.JPG

And there is also this interesting looking Rose Gold Case, blue dial, black crown 42mm Auto version, on a canvas nato

Hi, I posted this and a couple others last week from Ashford at $54.99. Still on sale. Just pulled the trigger when they offered an extra 5% bringing it to $52.24

Had a blue one but I guess it's gone

Your post rekindled my interest, I went back and found this 40mm Pro Diver has an interesting Khaki PVD, 58 before Wecome10, bought it in conjunction with the aforementioned blue dial version which is still at Invicta, so the total for both after promo code was 102.60, just enough to get free shipping, 52.30 each...and from the manufacturer! For all it's worth!

Both were still in stock when I was done

I'd be interested in knowing what you think of the finish in person. I don't think I've ever heard of Khaki PVD. Please post some pics when you get it.

This baby is 470 after the 50 dollar discount, and it's actually a limited edtion, you can read more about it at Gnomon here
Airman "Noon" GMT - Ltd Ed 1000pcs - Ref. GL0157
https://www.gnomonwatches.com/products/ ... ref-gl0157

It's based off of the original Airman No. 1

https://warehouse.drop.com/collections/ ... atic-watch

Gnomon sold it for 890 or listed it for 890 anyway...

This one first appeared on Massdrop last year and has since appeared several times without selling out. Watchgooroo no doubt sold a few too.

That is a decent price though.

I do wonder how many are left by now. I think it shows how little demand there really is for some watches. I think it's a looker but while they call it a limited edition it's actually just a slight tweak of a previous limited edition, the "Airman 1953 Vintage", of which 600 were made.

Edit: I suppose the fact it's a warehouse sale suggests they might be coming to the end...

Amazon has the BLACK Bulova Lunar Pilot for $282.89. Prime eligible and free returns.

Not as low as Black Friday week, but a decent price on the basic square G-Shock DW5600E-1V on Amazon now with discounts (retail $69.95):
Amazon Price $38.97
Coupon -2.44
Purchase price 36.53
Using Rakuten gets you 3.5% cash back so your net is around $35

Good timing, since my old one’s plastic bezel just disintegrated. A replacement bezel costs almost half this, so I think I’ll just replace the watch and get a fresh battery.

My straps from the Helgray Black Friday Sale arrived and I'm happy that they are the same quality as the black racing strap that came with my Helgray Le Mans.
The only differences are the buckles being shiny and a different size signature. Pretty marginal. They were $9 each, less 15% new customer discount (plus $10 p&p) = £12. 67 each, after duty shenanigans. Still good value I reckon. The leather is nice and soft.
The joys of living in the UK meant that I had to pay Royal Mail an £8 fee to collect £3 import duty.
If I had bought just two and not been greedy I would have stayed just under the £15 limit. Why RM cannot charge a percentage of duty I don't know.

Here's the pictorials, the black racing strap in the middle of the unattached trio is my original.

The other piccy shows my Helgray Silverstone on a grey Zuludiver MN, also purchased in the BF sales, but from Watchgecko. I like the way it lends a minimalist, Bauhaus-like cleanliness to the watch. At least I got in before Geckota started charging £1.99 postage.

You win some and some you lose when it comes to The Man. Royal Mail aside, I'm happy with my Black Friday straps.

A Jomashop doorbuster, I think this one looks really good, another Tissot Powermatic 80 driven beauty, it's 299 with DMTS40 code which takes 40 off
That dial's got a lot going on for 299

Seems like a decent price on Bulova Lunar Pilot Chrono (note, refurb) @ $169:

I didn't see this anywhere yet, but code AFFETERNA329 brings both of these down to $329 at Ashford.

Now I'm just trying to decide which strap/dial I like better.

To piggyback on Derek 80's post, watcheshalfprice on eBay also has the latest version of the Bulova Hack for $85 (refurbished). This was the "Macy's Exclusive" model.

Disintegrating bezels sound like time for a project.

Here's my just completed 5610 picked up from the Amazon Warehouse deal plus an Ali Express aged metal bezel and bracelet.

Also, Ali Express often has cheap bezels and bands that I'm sure are knock offs. You can buy a whole set for a 5600 for under $13. I was going to get a clear gel one and try dying it, but decided to go with the metal.

Do you have a link for the set you used? that looks pretty good!

It's the 3 Eternity's priced at 399 that he's referring to. Not honestly sure how to get an Ashford link to work these days

Those prices are astounding. I paid $262 from Jomashop (via eBay) for my black one and thought that was good. Mine was new, but I’d gladly have taken a manufacture refurb any day.

Seller says you don’t get the original box nor tags but Bulova’s 3 yr warranty is intact. Based on someone else’s positive warranty experience with Bulova regarding watches bought elsewhere I’d wager that’s correct.
