As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

How disappointing. It's just a rehash of their 1939.

I’m a fan. Bronze + blue dial $349 minus 15% OFF (sooner or later) = ~$298 for a bronze watch. I can’t say no.

There's nothing up on Venturo's website or social media but Watch Report's IG account is showing they will be starting pre-orders for a 40mm Skindiver later this month. Venturo watches is owned and run by the same people that make Gruppo Gamma.
