I'm guessing it doesn't work on GS, or that would be $4850 for a new Snowflake.

It looks like the only watches that qualify have the final price updated in red. Lots of models excluded.
I think it prob will work if the item is in stock, you just need to contact them to see if in stock

I didn't even buy a watch I just bought that because free shipping anyways lol
Good point. $25 shipped. Worth double easily.
Thanks, just got one too.

The CW website couldn't process me checking out with Amex (tried about 5 times) but mastercard went straight through. Might be something to bear in mind for any more hunger games style sale releases

Change the currency to Australian Dollars at the bottom, strap will come up as $35 AUD. Based on current exchange rate that's around $24.xx USD.

I had a quick look at the regular Seiko models and nothing popped out as being cheaper than the other Australian AD's. I don't know about the GS.

Eterna 2948.41.41.0277 Men's Tangaroa Automatic Watch still available at the lowest price found in March this year @ USD 292.90 by [mention]AceRimmer[/mention] and [mention]TheJohnP[/mention]. Retail listed USD 1960. I bought 2 when it showed up as only 2 left few days back.

Then they added 4 more the next day, now it shows as 1 available but maybe there'll be more added when the last one sells out. If you're on the fence, maybe worth adding it to your watch list and monitor. The Sellita movement should not be a problem to get it serviced/fixed if necessary. Kinda ironic too i think considering ETernA couldn't use ETA movement in it.

Link here https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eterna-2948-41 ... 2749.l2649

the fine satin brushing/polished bits on the case and bracelet is what tipped me over. Considering the picture above looks a bit overexposed, found a picture of the chronograph variant and if it looks as good as the picture below,i'll be very happy for sure.

Another 2 Eterna's for me. ETERNA 1270.41.12.1378 Women's KonTiki Silver Quartz Watch for USD158.86. Retail listed at USD 800 when checked elsewhere. The caseback reference number shown(127000444888) is for a different Kontiki however. This is a 36mm quartz .I think it will be fine on men's and women's wrist despite being marketed as women's watch. The strap is described as black rubber imitation alligator strap. Didn't know such a strap exists. Guess will find out when arrives. 2 watches remaining.

and now time for this

[mention]BillionaireDoors[/mention] beat me to the MeisterSinger sale. I picked up a metris. Seems like a good deal for a decent speced watch (200m wr, blued seconds hand and 39mm case according to Random Rob)- about $100 less (after taxes and shipping) than the cheapest one sold used on the bay.

I've bought this and the ZO9107 from Watchstation Japan. ZO9107 is out of stock at the moment but may come back again. Link here https://item.rakuten.co.jp/watchstation/zo9107/. Will report back if I have better luck with them.
NAD-quick review
the pair of watches took a while to arrive from Japan. Both watches are keeping within +-5/6 seconds per day.I thought I would like the blue dial more than the black and figured I would swap the metal bracelet over but think will leave the pairing as is. It feels and looks right for me.

Leather strap on the blue dial is really long and for my 6.75 inch wrist I'm wearing on the 2nd hole and at times can even get to 1st hole. Leather strap is slightly stiff but will break in short period. Interestingly it has this soft rubbery feel on the underside. It made me think if this was a rubber lining though only label on the strap is genuine leather. Lume on the black dial(green) is much stronger than the blue dial(with a more blueish lume). The blue watch looks black mostly indoors and only appears as navy blue when outside or in bright light.

The orange seconds hand seems a perfect splash of color for the blue dial. The sword hands are very legible and is brushed.Visibility is great with enough AR coating on the them. This has inspired me to look at classic Fliegers for the future. Both watches sit on wrist nicely and the thinness makes it very comfortable to wear.. The case finish is very good and am happy with the decoration on the STP 3-13 movement.The swan neck regulator is cool too. If any issues crop up will post it. And here's my poor attempt at a few pictures. The watches look better than my picture taking abilities.
