^ I bought one as well, thanks [mention]PnT[/mention] for posting about the new price drops. At that price, I almost went for the gold for a laugh!

Don't laugh until you try it. It's awesome :)

I have one on the way as well but I missed out on the coupon so I paid a whopping $49 total. I may order another one at the discount price just because they look so cool.

I mean, for $88 I couldn't resist.

Unfortunately, every G-Shock I checked no longer allows coupons. And I really wish it would have worked for this GA2110ET-8A. There may be some models that work with the coupon, but probably no new hot models.

Still have some Timex. This Q is $88 bucks (list $178.99):

38mm Navy Panda, with sapphire and an exhibition case back. These are much nicer than I expected.

Just paid for a used Davosa Ternos Ceramic Bezel - 40mm with jubilee bracelet in excellent condition that I found on Reddit.

Image

I have an Armida A2 that I really like. But in the last few years, thanks to mid-fifties middle age and getting in shape, my wrist has shrunk, and the A2 and the bracelet just feels a little too big and heavy. The Ternos is 40mm, 12.5mm thick vs. 42mm/13.mm thick. That jubilee bracelet should be comfortable, too. And better finishing, based on everything I have read. Although the Armida does look fine to me.

I don't entirely believe the seller's statement of "everything works perfectly" but for now I'll be happy that I found a Challenge Timer that isn't a total mishmash of aftermarket parts at a price I'm willing to pay.

Timex Marlin hand wound not too shabby. Color combination reminds me of the SARB017.

I broke down and have a Marloe Coniston black edition coming my way. I have been lusting over the Coniston for much of 2020, and when I saw the black colorway that they released on Black Friday, I knew I had to have it. I will be sure to add pics and mini review once I have it. My collection will sit at 15 watches now. I think I need to institute a one in one out policy going forward. Image

I LOVE this watch! Excited you have this one on the way. 👍 I hope to own a Marloe at some point and this exact one is probably at the very top of the list. The lume shots are really cool too.
