Also incoming is a new battery for my Ironman Endure Shock....wore it the other day and the Indiglo wasn't working......next day.....DED. And for the moment I'm abstaining from that Skagen Fisk with the black case and blue strap. Gonna sleep on it and maybe everybody here will buy them before I get around to it. How much better is it to be addicted to buying cheap watches versus expensive ones? Or compared to other products that you just don't really need?

I don't know how I don't have one of those yet. $19? No brainer! As for being addicted to buying watches, I really shouldn't be talking right now but I take as much (sometimes more) pleasure in inexpensive watches. My family really doesn't have any other consumer vices. We like our tech but we hold on to it for longer than normal. We would rather spend money on travel and making memories...and I haven't really thought about it, but maybe that lack of travel has been feeding my watch habit.

Jomashop has shipped my Milus Snow Star Heritage HKIT001 limited edition that is on sale this week for $700. Apparently, it is this version of the watch with a wood case and cufflinks

https://www.jomashop.com/milus-snow-sta ... it001.html

There is another version (newer?) that has a printed logo at the top, and snow star and automatic printed in the bottom half of the dial.

Image

I like the HKIT001 better with the cleaner looking dial, without the red lettering on the dial, and the black lettering on the date wheel. I hope this doesn't turn into a Jomashop screw up and I get the other version. :fingers crossed:

We are in the same boat. I placed my order after watching a couple of videos and looking at a couple of reviews and had the exact same though, "I hope they aren't sending the thing with the red text on the dial!" Oddly, I'm not a fan of cyclopes but for some reason prefer it on the model that you and I hope we are getting. Maybe it is because that is what I have been looking at.

Good luck!

Yeah. Not a fan of a cyclops myself. Those are supposedly easy enough to take off. Probably won't last long on my wrist :lol:

WatchRecon has been killing me lately. Had to jump on another one that suddenly popped up at a great price. This time it’s the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53 blue dial. I must admit that some of the pics from [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] put me over the top on this one.

Any updates on this STO Samurai? Curious to hear if Greentoe worked out for you.

Fingers still crossed. Greentoe is a middle man or dropshipper of sorts. It looks like the retailer this is supposed to be coming from is Electronic Express out of Nashville, TN. They don't have the best reviews. FedEx is showing that my package was picked up and arrived at their facility in MOUNT JULIET, TN on 12/9. But no update since then. The combination of Greentoe, Electronic Express, and FedEx does not sound like a recipe for top-notch customer satisfaction lol. But I'm willing to wait a while to see what happens. Payment was through PayPal. [mention]valuewatchguy[/mention] did report a successful watch purchase through Greentoe.

The SRPC93 Samurai ordered through Greentoe arrived yesterday. Fulfilled by Electronic Express. I think the lack of updates was just a case of FedEx being FedEx. A cool dial and a nice deal at $168.

Verrry interesting. I foresee a Greentoe thread where ppl can discuss accepted/rejected bids and delivery experiences. I like their selection, too. The Arnie pictured here was "back-ordered," but their pepsi colorway was not. A small sample:
