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.

Cool observation: love the two sets of spring bar holes on this.
Also, I’m going to stop by another T.J. Maxx today. If I find another, I’ll let you guys know.

Lume report: Adequate.

Shined a UV light at it for 15 seconds at 11:00pm and by 5:40am the hour an minute hands were still legible enough for me to tell the time without putting my glasses on.

No luck.
Definitely beginning to see a trend as to which store gets the good stuff.

How many of these are you guys finding in a store? Will probably hit 2-3 stores today to see what I can find.

Want to see in the flesh cause I really want to like this watch, but what is an E doing in place of the 9.

Same here. Nothing at the first store (just a single lonely Invicta) and only one Airboss among quite a few other VSA. Citizen and Raymond Weil at the second store.

Hit three stores today in South FL, a number of Citizens (almost bought home an eco drive chronograph), some Raymond Weil quartz watches, no Victorinox...

LA west SF valley, nothing, one store with a few Nautica watches, looked good, and a few Invicta. Another prior good location with 0 watches, of any kind, a couple others known for the usual Invicta/fashion watches with one or two, total. Lady said haven't restocked since reopening, people asking for watches. UNBELIEVABLE!

Hopefully they will soon restock with some good product to make up for it.

My younger brother has first dibs. He wants to check it out later. If he ends up passing, I may let it go to one of you guys.

Checked the only one within 10 miles of me today (Dallas 75 & Park). No luck. A number of Invictas, a couple of citizen eco drive chronos, lots of fashion brands.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
