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.

Well won an auction for this Louis Erard powered by a Sellita caliber SW260-1.
I don't know why I am drawn to obscure/under the radar brands, but here we are.
Should deliver some time next week from the UK.

I have 3 watches incoming......maybe, hopefully. Most people report they have received their "ships in 1-2 months" or whatever time-frame Amazon orders but some have said otherwise. I have 2 of those pending. A Casio W736H-1AV for $7 and a AE1000W-3AV for $4. If I manage to get the third (not from Amazon, not a Casio) mystery watch, I'll be posting it in the deals thread for sure. I have a feeling someone else may find it and post it in the meantime, but I want to make sure my order ships first. It is something I never thought I would be able to find at this price. 🤞

I used the RIVER25 code at River Edge and got this LE I’ve wanted since it came out.

Awesome! Glad you found one. Looking forward to a wrist shot with that behemoth. I would probably have to wear it on the outside of a puffy jacket.

Is Seiko really releasing those watches with the whacky “S”?

You bet. Seiko sure ain't what it was 6 years ago. I ordered all those new ones so I can see in person which I like and how they compare. They sell out super fast around here.

So your plan is to order a pile and then return the ones you don't want? Are you planning to keep one or more?

Basically the only AD in Canada got them all in stock on Saturday. And they were all like 45% off, so like $165 to $190 all in for each model. Problem is local stores near me had none. So I ordered 6 well they were available and on sale (sale ended yesterday). I think I'm going to keep 2 or 3. Then I'll return or sell the other 3 because they were a good deal.

If you decide to sell the green/gilt I may be interested.
