As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Helping my cousin get into this addicting hobby and trying to make sure he is getting the best deal possible on his first watch in almost 20 years.

https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t ... 53-00.html

Looking like Jomashop is the same or slightly cheaper than amazon but the free returns are making him feel more comfortable in case he hates it. Figured I would reach out to the experts here to see what deals I am missing or if there are some coupons currently that I am not seeing.

He and I thank you in advance!

For some reason Jomashop links don’t work here. It just takes me to the main page. You might try posting a screen shot of the watch in question.

$399 at Watchmaxx: https://www.watchmaxx.com/tissot-watch- ... -11-053-00

Both Jomashop and Watcmaxx are "grey market", so the Tissot manufacturer warranty won't necessarily apply. Both businesses offer their own in-house coverage.

Amazon, if I recall, is an authorized dealer if shipped and sold by Amazon, so the manufacturer's warranty would apply.

If warranty is a concern, it may be worth the extra $14 to purchase from Amazon.

I'm on a Mac with the wheelless Magic Mouse. I have found the only way to make it work is right click, copy the link and then manually paste it into the address bar. If I right click and do "open in new tab" it still takes me to the main page. Weird.

Thanks a lot @whoagorgeous . I am able to re-produce the deal and it seems like a fair price for a new release. I will sleep on it this weekend and will probably pull the trigger. Thanks again to everyone. I appreciate it. Will post a mini-review.

I tried searching and didn’t find what I’m looking for.

Didn’t someone recently post a deal for Xeric watches discounted more than the current 25% off?

Maybe you are thinking of this (now expired) 35% off promo posted by nicegator:

https://www.manontime.com/viewtopic.php ... ic#p129815

Following his link takes me to a new, 25% off promo.

Check out Watches.com to see what they have running. 10% discount with email signup per popup:

https://www.watches.com/

They have an ebay storefront, too, that I once noticed had different pricing than their site:
