You don't have to be signed in to enter the codes manually, but if you sign in to an account they just show up on your 'apply codes and Kohl's cash' page

I've got all those applied, still a total of $206.50, probably divine intervention for the sake of my wallet!

Maybe testing123 could just drive over to your place and press the buttons for you.

Couldn't resist and just purchased this Paneurop [emoji2357][emoji2357][emoji2357]
But shipped it to my friend's office because I'm not supposed to be buying any watches right now until I sell a few. Dang it!

Thanks @TheJohnP !

I also bought it last night and sent it to another address, but the transaction is still pending on my credit card. Seems a bit weird though maybe due to the holiday I suppose.

Did anyone else order from here?
My purchase from Friday is still "Pending" on their site. There isn't even a pending charge on my card. I used their "Live Chat" feature today and gave my name, number, and email and was told I should be contacted later today or within 24 hours.

Can we "off topic banter"?

Oh, come on, please!!!

Gosh, y'all are no fun...

Well how about this deal from Ashford:



https://www.ashford.com/us/watches/rado ... 6054&so=17

Lowest price I've ever seen on this Rado Automatic D-Star (Been looking at it awhile): $349.00
Cyber Monday 15% cashback from Rakuten: -$ 52.35
Total: $296.65 (That's pretty sweet for a Rado Automatic)

Sold out before I could get one. Whew, that was close.

Mine came in big box with the tank, altho poorly packaged. Inside there was a Small leaflet saying “download app to set your watch and register and bla blab..” hang tag was there. No plastic.
Second hand jumping double seconds so I charged it with my coast headlamp I bought at homedepot - set of two for 20 bucks (they still have them).
Strap is stiff af.
Also second hand doesn’t hit the index markers precisely.

Bezel action - wow! So smooth and precise, no play. Seiko should take some lessons here

All and all very impressive although I have expected the lugs to be 22mm...

For those of you who received their Citizen BN0150 from the Amazon Black Friday deal, just curious as to what your packaging included? Mine came in the factory outer box & scuba tank (pretty cool and wasn't expecting it!); however, other than a hang tag on the buckle, there was no paperwork (i.e. manual, warranty card, etc). And while there was no protective plastic on the crystal or caseback (and seeing as this is my first Citizen, so perhaps this their norm), the watch appears to be brand new...so at the price paid, I'm certainly not complaining! Again, mere curiosity to how others received theirs.

The BN019X series has 22mm lugs. I wish both styles did, but oh well.

As to the band, I suspect many people just replace them. If you like the rubber/silicone style, I recommend one of the Ali Express isofrane looking bands here. I have a couple of them. Best $3 you can spend

Another thing I like to wear on mine is this good quality but also cheap canvas strap. Probably the best $2 you can spend We have a big thread in the straps forum here about canvas straps with several of us singing their praises.

My favorite, though, are the stretch NATO's that are like MN's, but just single pass. Ali Express also has a bunch of those.

NAD. Same here. I highly recommend the single pass stretchy NATO as well. My favorite too.

GWB5600AR-1 from MLTD arrived today (coupon code 40THANKS still works today). https://www.mltd.com/product/g-shock-gw ... red-133492

From my very brief ogling (it's a gift for my kid, so I had to sneak unwrap) it's easier to read than the Basic Blacks (such as the DW-5600BB-1 I own or his DW5600HR-1).

Here's one shot looking kinda burgundy and then another shot looking kinda candy apple red.

$145 for an automatic Chronograph.......



INGERSOLL BATEMAN CHRONOGRAPH

Edit-

As EvilSaint pointed out, This is not an actual chronograph..... Although it's listed as one..... Not a good deal.


My bad.

I kept looking at this one. Thanks for the real life pictures and comment on that it's easier to read. Price is back at what it was originally(USD 149.99) though it went up to USD 159.99 and now that it went back down to USD 149.99 at 40%(USD 90) off i think is a great deal. Second purchase from MLTD for me personally.

Just a note. This model is not actually a chronograph. This is an automatic with month (12 subdial), year (9 subdial), and 24 hr. (6 subdial), day and date. The pushers are only for advancing the subdials.

The movement in the caseback view doesn't look like the Shanghai 7750 clone I don't think, and it's also not a Seagull ST1904. Not sure what that is. Anyone recognize it?

Well, I guess that explains it. I should have spent more time looking at the dial and less at the movement. LOL!

Good catch, I was freaking out for a second that it was actually that cheap for a Chrono. All is well in the world again.

Thanks for catching that. I saw the price today and even after looking at my recipe didn't put 2+2 together. Yeah, their price on BF was cynically $10 higher on this model. Annoying when retailers play those sorts of games.

They're manual wind (Seagull ST19 movements), but have you heard of Alpha? $175-or-so Daytona knockoffs, a few other knockoff designs (not fakes, their watches actually have the Alpha brand on them, just not original designs in the least is all). If that doesn't bug you, it's likely the cheapest route to a mechanical chronograph. And the ST19 seems like a pretty decent movement in manual wind form.
