Trying to checkout chrome warns me this is a potential scam? Looking at the watch prices seems too good to be true - also know nothing about this silvermans site but there's an UK based one (co.uk) and pricing is nowhere this .com version of the site

If it's a scam site, it's a fairly convincing one. Notice all watches are priced under $100. Maybe this is a psychological threshold, below which shoppers are willing to risk their money for a "bargain?"

ACTUAL DEAL:
Ashford has "new arrival" Roamer watches, a Swiss brand which have been around a long time, but are seldom seen in the U.S. There's a selection of sporty Men's styles at the link below.

Example: Nautic Chrono 100, Quartz chronograph, sapphire, 43mm, leather strap. Weekly deal $177.99 (list $499) minus Rakuten 2% cash back = $174.43 with free U.S. shipping.

Also on Ashford, eligible for an extra 5% off.
Interesting specs, hand wound, blingy, but it looks really cool to me.

I'm going to call this a "deal" because it's a lot cheaper than flying to a city with a Swatch store.

Most MoonSwatch models are down to just over $300 on StockX versus $260 at the Swatch stores. After fees, the sellers are losing money or at best breaking even. I hear they are easier to get in the stores now, but there are still only a few stores that carry them. Swatch is not selling them online and probably won't for a while.

I ordered a Saturn model. Curious to see if it's even worth $300. Btw, I've spent over $100k on StockX, so no worries there.

Quick whois search indicates that seller is a Chinese outfit -- the domain silvermanus.com was first registered 8/22. Combined with too-good-to-be-true pricing it makes my Spidey senses tingle.

Everyone take a look, this is how it's done. If you want to make a comment in this thread about a particular deal, fine. Just post a deal of your own as well.

Thanks @Klaatu3.

Too Good to be True?

Maybe Scam of the Day (at least reviews on Google suggest so).
