Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020

[dumberdrummer]

I am sure you can find these cases for .23 cents on AliExpress, but a good price for a strap keeper from Amazon Warehouse.
Two options, one much cheaper, but in worse condition

They say it holds 40-80 straps, but only if you double up.
"Sturdy elastic straps secure fourty classy bands, but double them up to hold eighty bands of all types and sizes. Easily swap bands to match your outfit to the occasion. Features four separate trays, which enables you to organize your bands by style, color, or mood. Measures 17 x 11 x 3.5 inches."


Zero Mass Luxury Storage Case Organizer for Watch Bands (Multi-Tray, Velvet & Leatherette, Stores 40-80 Bands), White Marble Marble Leatherette Exterior
Sale price is $37.61
List price is $89.99
Condition is - Used - Good / Small cosmetic imperfection on top, front or sides of item. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged.

Thanks. Was just looking at these (new) the other day, but thought they were a little too pricy. It’ll be kept in a drawer, so I could care less about any cosmetic issues. Rolled the dice on the “Used - Good” one.

Despite Amazon's description, I was unable to find any "cosmetic imperfections" whatsoever. However, 9 (yes 9!) of the dividers detached as I was inserting straps. An easy fix with some Krazy Glue and for the price I paid, I'm not complaining. Overall, it's a decent watch strap storage case for $37.61, but I don't think the quality is there to warrant the full price of $89.99. Thanks again for the head's-up, [mention]TheJohnP[/mention]

This is more a bargain than a deal, but I have to add my vote to how good these straps are. The Fluorine rubber is truly a different material- it's extremely supple, but not as "squishy"(?) as silicone, and doesn't attract dust at all. The hardware is absolutely fantastic too, very solid and appropriately sized for the strap.
For $9 these are an absolute steal. I am not ashamed to say I have one in every color coming in now.

A whole bunch of NAD coming up.

I just bought a Baume & Mercier Capeland Chronograph Automatic // MOA06858 // Pre-Owned at Touch of Modern!!
https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/the ... n=AV4134TP

$25 for every $100 spent at TOM. got a used baume Chrono. Looks a little rough but I hope I'll like it (or can flip for what I paid so I can get a "free" $200 TOM credit).

I was looking at this one this morning. I think it will clean up nicely. Good catch!

I need some meme help. I feel like there's gotta be a meme for this situation...
[mention]BillionaireDoors[/mention] says "good catch". I feel all warm and fuzzy all over.
BD says that he was looking at the watch, but apparently passed on it. Makes me feel much less certain that I got a good deal (because if it was a good deal, he would have snatched it up).

Question for you TOM experts. For how long do the credits exist?

I’ve bought from TOM before but have never played the credit game with them. I also have a 20% off next purchase offer that expires today so if I can double dip it might make some sense.

I have struggled to routinely find something to buy from them in the past so not sure all the effort is worth it.

Probably too late, but I'll answer the question for posterity. I bought the aforementioned Baume on Saturday, July 4. The listing said that the watch would ship in 2-3 weeks, but it shipped on today, Tuesday, July 7 (2 business days). I didn't have any credits on my account when I purchased, but my account now shows $200 in available credits, expiring 10/2/2020. So that's about 3 months.

Not technically a watch deal, but I imagine it will be of similar interest...

Seiko Victory Marathon Alarm Clock for $14.99 w/ free shipping from SeikoClocksUSA. Verified and purchased (25% discount is automatically applied in cart). These are typically sold for 2-3x this price.

Mine came yesterday. I really dig it, especially the countdown timer and chronograph feature (though I wish they were two separate features rather than one-- as far as I can tell, if you set the countdown timer to zeros, then it works as a chron.) My 4 1/2-year-old daughter saw it and immediately commandeered it, so I guess it won't be sitting on my desk or on my bedside table. I guess I should have ordered more than one.
The funny thing is that it was shipped in an 8x8x8" box, and the thing is like 3x2x2. There was packing to protect from damage, but it was pretty dang funny.
I'll try to get some pics soon.

If my $900 in pending credits were available, I probably would have bought it. The ROI looked a bit small to buy it cash and wait 3 weeks for it to ship.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was concerned about that myself, but heck, if I get it tomorrow, that's something.
(Crossing my fingers that the imperfections in the pictures are just dirt and not rust... but I guess we'll see.)

I just did a double-take on your profile pic. At first glance, I thought it was this:

Lol nope. It's actually a local politician/truck driver whose facial hair was simply too magnificent not to share.

Best new watch name of the day. Kinda want, although readability is subpar and I never hear from anyone from Krypton. What a coincidence that the Kryptonian alphabet also has 26 letters...just like English.

[dumberdrummer]

A rather minimal discount, but better than nuttin' on yet another relatively slow deal day...

[JMD1082]

I don't really watch these too closely but I know that a lot of people are big fans of the Todd Snyder Timex collection and this seemed like a pretty good price. Especially direct from Amazon two colorways listed at $50
