Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

[dumberdrummer]

A pretty "strong" deal for this Alpina Seastrong automatic on the 'bay at $399.99 (Mfg's refurb): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alpina-Mens-Se ... 2108!US!-1
I had one of these for a while (albeit, with the deep red bezel) and it's a solid, well made piece (although, I would have preferred the lume been C3 or BGW9, rather than what I assume is C1).

There is 1 lonely Seiko Prospex SRPC41J1 PADI Mini-Turtle Automatic Diver available for $286 at Discount Shop

https://www.discountshop.com/Seiko-Pros ... I-SRPC41J1

2 of these back in stock at $286.

https://www.discountshop.com/Seiko-Pros ... I-SRPC41J1

I picked one of these 2 up and it's messed up badly... In the last 6 and a half hours it has only moved ahead 3 hours or so. So disappointed as there are none left in stock to exchange it.

Sorry to hear it. Once it is all resolved you might want to leave some feedback at the thread below.

Indeed, that is a strong deal. It's hard to find this model in any color new from most places for under $1000

Amazon has a few in the $575 to $600+ range. Gemnation has the red bezel for $617.

But the best new offering is the blue model from Certified:

NAD but I would like to comment on Jomashop delivery timelines. I had a good experience. I ordered a Tudor BB GMT when it first was released last year from Basel and also placed my name on a AD. Long story short, Joma delivered the BB GMT within 60 days of order and I still waiting for the AD to call me. YMMV and good luck!

I think it's even nicer looking then the SARB033.

I thought it was a great deal when it was posted but I was scared off by the French website

I ordered the white dial. Took forever to ship like they said it would but once I had a tracking number it got here in like 3-4 business days. You get 5% back in loyalty points that you can use on future purchases. I used my points when I ordered the black dial. Not loving the white so idk if I'll keep it but the black looks killer.

Found some more flattering images of this model on Google. The Seiko shots really don't do it justice

Will get it landed for a hair under $500 AUD which is more or less what you would pay here for a used SARB033

Okay so this deal has now got me intrigued.....thanks to your picture.

Same here! Beautiful shot!

This watch is a favorite of mine, but then, I'm a quartzer. It's featherweight and thin. I tossed the bracelet and put a Barton canvas on it for ultimate comfort. Good all-night lume on the hands (face leaves you guessing a bit). I liked it so much, I bought a variant with a white face (and a SS body), and that's my daily beater.

Thanks to BC, I nabbed this black face ti for $60, what a deal. Well worth $80 and tempting to buy a spare. Mini review here:

This titanium Wenger quartz is available from Amazon for $80 incl. free returns. $100 at Certified. eBay: $100. List: $295. I recall spotting it at $60 months ago, but it hasn't been close to that in awhile. Model 011341208S

Bolster had a good review of it, but I can't find it offhand and I've got to dash. IIRC he approved of the lume.

OMG -I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I tried too long to translate the cart/payment page and then gave up.
Beautiful Seiko though.
Je vous félicite!

Silver metal square GShock on resin strap w/negative display for $300 @ Bloomingdale's w/coupon code PRIVATE: https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/prod ... ID=3179288
[img]https://casiocdn.com/casio-v2/resource/ ... _small.png[/img]

The silver metal square on the bracelet is $375 with the code, which is perhaps the real deal (I don't think I've seen it go that low): https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/prod ... ID=2953280
[img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... UY445_.jpg[/img]

Otherwise, the black version w/black bracelet is $425 with the code: https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/prod ... ID=3179289

Perhaps other prices have been found before, but these prices are still looking pretty good. The best prices I recall are from when Bloomingdale's was running its Friends and Family discounts (25%, I think) not too long ago and the 10% coupon that game with signing up for their newsletter stacked on top of that discount. No stacking this time around, I believe, as it seemed like I could only add one code. The Friends and Family discount was automatically applied last time.

I was tempted to get the silver w/resin strap, but the newly-announced blue and black versions made me hesitate and I decided that I want the blue one. More info in the upcoming 2019 releases thread in the "Watches and Timekeepers" subforum if anyone's interested.
