Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Whew I already bought another watch. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to largely skip BF from a WIS perspective at least. But it was worth it I believe.
I bought a new Zelos Hammerhead 2. I have wanted one for over a year, but they were sold out immediately and resale is a solid $150-$250 over retail (and they're hard to find secondhand to start with). I am excited to get this one, and also feeling good about the fact that if it doesn't stick I certainly won't lose money on it.

Did I need another watch? No. Did I buy another watch? Yes.
$35 USD after tax with a gift card that I couldn't figure out what to buy with.

Ended up getting this after my eBay offer was accepted. Grand total shipped from Japan after a $50 eBay coupon and 10% eBay bucks is $40 lol. It's working but there's one scratch on the glass, but overall it looks good I think.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Another mystery......Will it or won't it be fulfilled? Will I, in turn, feel fulfilled? I don't have all the answers. But I'm excited to find out. Seiko Presage SPB043 for $123. from Jet......and maybe I ordered a few other things too.....
And then I went back for more. Tissot Heritage Visodate T019.430.16.031.01 for $123. [mention]BostonCharlie[/mention] made me do it.
The Visodate says it's fulfilled by Jomashop. Somehow I doubt that's gonna happen. But if it does.......perfect scenario to use my #notreallyameme.
This guy cracks me up. I'm not a violent person but he has a fairly punchable face and something about him just makes me laugh.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Well I ended up ordering a Seiko Marinemaster sbbn033 from Rakuten. It has some small scratches on the shroud but nothing too major. It was a super hard decision between this or a 1000m titanium/sapphire/ceramic model for a fair bit more, but after asking Seiko Canada how much a battery change on those costs (over $250) I decided to pass. So yeah, I can say I own a Marinemaster now
Oh yeah it also only cost $480

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Very cool. Sounds like the scratches aren't bad but this is exactly the type of watch I don't mind buying and wearing all scratched up. A rugged watch that's meant to be used and abused.

Got a NOS Raketa Big Zero Mini coming in from Neo Classic Watches. I did as much due diligence to avoid fakes as I could. This shop seemed good and so far my transaction has been great. They also have an ETSY shop called BestVintage4You. I'll do a review of them in the Purchase, Product, and Retailers section once my watch gets here from Ukraine.

I think I've browsed their "shop" on Etsy before and was curious. Look forward to your review!k.crabbe wrote:Got a NOS Raketa Big Zero Mini coming in from Neo Classic Watches.

EMG Horizon incoming thanks to their Black Friday sale. This should scratch the TAG Heuer Monaco itch, 'cause a real Monaco is never going to grace my wrist. Now to see if I can find a short (110/60) 22mm rally strap on sale this weekend.
