Between my weaknesses for military watches, the 38mm size, and the price of under $100/watch, I'm really struggling not buying this right now.

It is tempting. Wish I could find a bit more info or reviews of it, though.

Found this video. It says "includes paid promotion" so take it with a grain of salt, but it does provide some "on the wrist" shots.

Beware. I pre-ordered this watch back in July and still have not received my order. Just did a live chat and wasn't impressed. I told them that I am upset that I pre-ordered the watch and have yet to receive it but they are doing a BOGO. They created a "ticket" and I am supposed to hear from them via email tonight.

Now I'm glad I didn't ask if anyone wanted to go halfsies.

Aw crap. My apologies on putting this out there, then. Should I edit the original to show this? [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] ?

You don't need to unless you feel like you should.

Tommy Hilfiger has 50% off sitewide with 'TOMMY' at checkout with a selection of fashionable dress watches:

https://usa.tommy.com/en/men-watches-je ... ry=watches

That takes this 40mm dress watch with magnetic strap from $125 to $62.50.



Sign up for the Tommy club and get another 20% off, taking it down to $50.
Rakuten has 10% cashback at Tommy, knocking it down to $45.

Of note, you probably want to avoid storing that magnetic band near your automatics or your pacemaker...

I assume most reviews are paid [cough]ablogtowatch[cough]. The photos and info are still useful even if you can't trust the opinions given.

Luminox XS-3503 Navy SEAL Colormark is available at Ashford for super cheap. $125 - 10% = $112.5.

It doesn't say on the dial but its 200M water resistant and if my fiberglass case Marathon is any indication, this watch should be able to take a beating as well. Plus, tritium lume and a functional unidirectional bezel add to the value. Retail is $395 and cheapest on ebay is $180.

Wow, I like OD green and I love blue, but I can't do that combo.

Looks like they also have a white version the same price. Also not something I'd wear. Plus, not enough contrast to tell time on

Helzberg Diamonds is having a cyber week sale, with 20% off everything with code CYBER, plus 10% cashback with Rakuten. They have a healthy collection of higher end Citizens, G shocks, Seiko Presage + Prospex. Code works on clearance items, as well!

Or this SRPB43 **** Time down to $216 net. Retail $425.



And the Golden Turtle down to $266.40 net. Retail $525.

I'm a big fan of several Lip designs. It's really too bad there are no American retailers for this brand (as far as I know, at least.) A couple of years ago, Long Island Watch was exploring offering their watches, but it fell through. At least as of mid-October, they didn't mention international shipping costs on their website. I emailed them at that time, and they quoted me 29.17 Euros = $35.14 for shipping to the US, with no VAT charged.
