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.

I guess I wrongly assumed I could pick up this watch up real cheap whenever I wanted. Apparently I don't exactly have my finger on the Pulsar market. And I'm not finding them available from very many retailers. If anyone comes across any PW3003s or even a PW3001 for less than $90, I'd love to hear from you. If you find one for less than $50, please PM me. Thanks.

My ebay alert/saved search for one of these guys finally came through. It took quite a while to get one at a decent price but I found a new one.

Told myself a long time ago that if the diver version of INOX went under $200 I'd buy it, so here we are.

Couple of straps from Vario. I have the Harris tweed on my MaxBill. I've been looking for something different for my Railmaster and thought the ocean would look good. Got a second because why not.

My NOS I bought ended up not being NOS my picture showed real condition, he told me they were just from the manufacturing process.

Such a jerk he refused to pay return shipping so ebay gave me a refund an got to keep the watch.

It runs well so it might have a NOS movement I think it is a very cool watch and was bummed out it was not NOS, great score!

Definitely not NOS, but a beauty nonetheless. Hard to beat the price. Have you checked out the movement?

The movement looks great and on the timegrapher everything looks good. It is super sensitive when regulating tap it one way or the other the smallest amout it changes by +-300 spd. :lol:

It runs consistent when regulated but it is so touchy that anything under 2 minutes per day is fine checked it from this morning 84 spd.

Missed out on this due to a DNS error with Ebay as the auction ended. Waited 10 hours to snipe it, but it was not meant to be. Sold for $15.

Timex Expedition T46681 / T466819J purchased from Amazon Warehouse. I had previously sought an expert expert consultation regarding this luxurious timepiece. The expert confirmed with his Authorized Dealer that this is in fact a non-rotating bezel. However at some point I may see if the bezel can be popped off and modified to spin freely. Also, the case is brass rather than steel. Still should be a good buy for $7 though.

Is it just me, or is the part that I bolded code for [mention]Wolfsatz[/mention] or possibly [mention]watchpalooza[/mention]? I think the former would know as it is a Timex, and the latter just from his vast databank of watch knowledge.

Good grab at $7!
