Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020

[BruceR]

if Macy's charges sales tax where you live.... @riveredgejewelers will be cheaper with the special MOT 30% discount

Does that discount apply to everything? I'm eyeing the SPB143, and at 30% off $1200, that would be $840, which would be as much as I'm willing to spend on a watch with a 6R movement.

It's worked on everything I have tried it on. There is one easy way to find out...

Speaking of River Edge. Order in for the old lady. The 30% stacked with the sale price to make a final price of $1230. Apparently I got the last one.

Not sure what the general consensus is around Vaer Watches (I've heard of them but haven't done too much research on them) but I just got an email from them stating that they are opening several of their models up for pre-order next week, and watches currently available can be purchased with a 15% off code VAERWFH.

They specifically mention this model as being discontinued. Ronda 715 Quartz + domed sapphire + extra strap for $169.15+tax (from $199) ain't bad.

Some automatics with Miyota 9015 available for $381.65+tax after coupon (from $449). Certainly the watches look great -- I guess the deal comes down to your opinion of the 9015.

I'm expecting a double moonphase wristshot in WRUW when this one comes in!

These all fall outside of my comfort zone, so no clue if deals or not for preowned. But Topper is still offering 10% off.

NAD,

Great quality watches, had a Quartz from them last year. Amazing case finishing for the price [emoji119][emoji482]

Is there a thread dedicated specifically to discussing eBay finds? Tried searching for one but the term is too common for the search tool.

Found this listing for an SRPD63 and am *this close* to taking a flyer on it w/ Paypal b/c $23.60 looks like a simple pricing error (It goes for $236.00 elsewhere, add a zero). But also don't want to highlight it as a deal necessarily b/c there's a chance its either a scam (seller has all positive feedback but as a buyer... and its only 10 points) or will be canceled and either would be a headache if someone other than myself bites. Listing for the curious: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-5-Sports ... SwTARexkx1

Hacked acount or mistake.

Riffing on kl884347's Duluth Trading code: Letherman bracelet/watch now $280 - T20PC2W promo = $224 + tax (tested).

Come to think about it, I would buy something like this as a bracelet, without watch. Seriously.

You're in luck! Leatherman sells the bracelet without a watch head, just called Tread. Retails for $135USD, and a $15 discount at the link below. Unfortunately not available at Duluth to take advantage of the discount.

99.9% sure that is a scam or hijacked account. All seller feedback is more than 1 year old. Last 12 month zero activity....they also have a Glycine listed for 1/10 of normal price. 2 price errors....not likely.

Don't buy the deal.....and if it seems too good to be true it probably is

I already ordered a bunch more for my 22mm watches also - the nice dark green one, the orange one and the black.

Seriously happy with them.

I ordered a bunch of these straps based on this post and they finally arrived - way too long given the short'ish distance from China to Malaysia.

Anyway, they are simply hands down the best rubber straps I have bought, ever! The fact they are such a low price is almost a miracle, these days. Soft & supple with quality hardware - super comfy and as good if not better than some of the $100+ rubber straps I have encountered.

I got mine from here:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000453 ... 728bXcULAA

which are on sale at $9.87 with free shipping (well at least it is for Malaysia) Best $10 bucks for a strap I have ever spent and I have upwards of 300 straps!!

What a coincidence! Mine arrived today, a week short of two months to USA. Haven't tried on yet, but based on your recommendation inline with others will have to order some more.

You've got a great collection. We need to see some pics over in WRUW. I'd love to see those IWCs!

If there isn't, feel free to start one!

I agree! I had the C5 and it was great. Wonderful case finishing. This is a standard discount for them, they usually offer 15-20% off on a regular basis.

You can wait until REJ lowers the price (and maybe with the MOT discount) it can be lower - but for now, the Hamilton H69439901 Khaki Field Men's Hand Wind Watch can be had for $295.98 after tpcart20.
