Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2023

[CVP33]

Interesting concept. DIY watches. GMT’s look pretty nice and decent value = ~$296 after coupon. Good way to learn a little about watch building.

SKX MOD - Chinese NY sale.

Boss 44mm GMT solar Citizen, sapphire crystal (per mfg. page here), inner robez, bespoke lugs, OWD mfg. refurb. $200

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265972489834

Above GMT Citizen now $192. Update: Three days after putting this on my watch list I received an offer for $180.47 -- about 6% off.

Atomic multi-function solar AT Citizen w/ sapphire crystal (per mfg. page here), OWD mfg. refurb. $205.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265778613926

Above atomic Citizen AT now $195. 1/19 update: now $180. New pricing strat by OWD? Since it is becoming more interesting I decided to take a closer look at its manual here. Turns out the atomic feature only receives from the USA or Germany. Odd.

Update: above AT is now OOS.

Check this out!

Was $277 -- now $259, still sold and shipped by Amazon. How low will it go?

Marathon back at J Crew for $164 after coupon.

Those were good flips at closer to $100. An authorized Marathon dealer bought mine because they can't get the J Crew models.

Plus the stacking 15% off w/ Passport signup should take it to $140 (note: final sale). Interesting about the Marathon AD, esp. if they offered a store credit premium over cash.

Piggybacking on this....the J. Crew NATOs @ 75% off (and free shipping with free Passport membership) are a really good deal. Not too many color options, but their 20mm blue actually turned my blue Marathon Navigator collaboration from a flipper to a keeper (for the time being, anyways ). NOTE: despite what their description states, these are NOT single pass straps (but they are a little longer than your typical budget NATO {a good thing, IMO} with a respectable buckle, too).

https://www.jcrew.com/search/mens?Ntrm=nato

They've added a couple styles to the 18mm (here) that are $8 - SALETIME = $3.20 incl. free shipping w/ (free) passport membership.

NAD, quite the opposite.

Trusted source sent me the following heads up:

Rado, Hamilton, Oris and Mido will have a price increase of about 7% to 10% in Feb 2023.

If anyone is eying a piece (looking at you 38mm Murph), buy it before Feb 1st as the price will increase (even with any discounts).

Beating the OWD mfg. refurb. drum again, Alpina automatic diver, TWO for $510 w/ code BOGOWATCHDEAL23. Composite case per Jomashop here. Update to add that the movement is AL-525 per AZ, which with 26 jewels appears to make it an SW200-1 per CaliberCorner -- Jomashop agrees.

Love that Alpina…..if only I had a friend.

Nordstrom Rack - Tissot I haven’t seen but like a lot. Lots of eyeball at $157 after TopCash rebate.

I'm digging the 70s vibes on their quartz Timeroy collection.

38mm x 12mm diver with screw down crown, 18mm lug width, full lume dial, mineral crystal, Miyota quartz. $78.72 with code HD121.

Alt. colorways for a little more here -- on these, save 10% on $100+ with SAVE10 (tested). There is also a 6% code with newsletter signup.

TimeBum review here: "... a dial made from Visible 24/7 injection molded, glow-in-the-dark plastic. Bia claims that 10 minutes of light means 10 hours glow time and having tested it, I can back that up." and: "The flat crystal is K1 mineral glass, which is ... more scratch-resistant than traditional mineral crystals." Seems to be made by Time Concepts.
