Re: Help me find a bargain thread
I took a serious look after reading your post. Interesting jumping hour at this price point. Wish them they would make it bigger, say 40mm, or even 41 to 42mm. If applied markers, even more amazing. Cant complain at this price point of course.AndroidIsAwesome wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 4:33 pmYes they are awesome looking. Unfortunately they stopped making them however.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Not necessarily "help me find a bargain", but rather advise me when (and where) is the best time to look for deals in Japan: I haven't did any shopping there yet, but I quite fancy a JDM-only G-Shock. I'm not in a hurry though. Is there a particular time of the year when there are better deals to be had, or should I just set alerts on ebay and hunt as usual? Also, do you recommend any particular sellers or stores that usually have good prices? I know gathering rakuten/ebates rewards is quite popular, but pretty much no cashback sites are an option where I live.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
It's really hard finding jdm deals right now not only because Rakuten global shut down outside of Japan, but also because Japan EMS has been closed for months. Your best bet is maybe seiya Japan or shoppinginjapan.net or just eBaykonax wrote:Not necessarily "help me find a bargain", but rather advise me when (and where) is the best time to look for deals in Japan: I haven't did any shopping there yet, but I quite fancy a JDM-only G-Shock.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
[mention]Tarak Trisaltuol[/mention] I know this is an old post but these pre-owned auctions might be worth a look if you're still hunting for one of these. There is also a "buy it now" going for less than normal.Tarak Trisaltuol wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 6:26 am Always wanted to start a thread like this.

Searching a new oris diver 65 36mm for <1k [emoji95] i know it is possible.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Alright boys. Looking to help out a buddy since ge knows I am all about the watch deals. Looking for a Seiko SRPD21 great white turtle for a good price. Thought I had it for him for about $250, but the Macy's email sign-up code didn't work since it was already discounted. Now I feel bad after having him sign up for the macys newsletter AND Rakuten (they had 10% cash back).
No rush on this, as I think $275 or so is an attainable goal. I will keep searching myself, but if any of you guys find something, please help a brother out.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Just going to trod this out here, but $315 from REJ after the 40% off code. May also be worth asking if they can go down to $275 or thereabouts.Dub Rubb wrote:Alright boys.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Anyone have a lead on a deal on Marathon watches? Really interested in their Arctic/white dial model.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Try reaching out to Greg at WatchMann.
He's a Marathon AD and might be willing to work with you.
Is this the model you're looking at?

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
Have my eye on a Mühle-Glashütte Panova Blau.
Best price I can find is at The Luxury Well, but maybe someone might know of a better deal out there?
If so hit me up.
Again, prefer the blue, but if someone has a line on an amazing price for the grey (Grau) or green (Grün), I'm willing to listen.

Re: Help me find a bargain thread
I found the cheapest one from newegg for US$123.98 and I think you can sign up your email for US$10 off possibly bringing it down to 113.98. This is compared to Jomashop price of 137.99 (out of stock)ossamanity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 9:52 am My brother just messaged me that he has developed some feelings for Seiko recraft snkp27.
