Agreed, with the caveat only as long as this doesn't become a burden for our gracious host, ManOnTime.

I don't see that happening. We've got a great group of people here.

Agree, long term we are probably better off staying on here with maybe more "understanding" moderation from MoT.

I like to practice a mostly hands off approach. I figure we're all adults here and can behave as such.

These Bertucci pass thru straps are still available for $5 in many colors and are pretty awesome. I didn’t like the double thickness under the watch head, made it sit too high, but that was easily removed with an exacto knife and a lighter. I wasn’t sure about the riveted holes but I think it looks pretty good on this color anyway.

I know this may be a bit controversial, but deals are deals. I’m looking for deals no matter what the price.

Glashutte Original PanoMaticCentral XL.

$8500 with code “DMGPANO8500”.

Retail is $24K.

Haven't unpacked the black one yet, but enjoying the brushed face on the sandblasted bracelet :

I bought this watch from Braun's website...Did anyone else? Have you received a shipping notification? This was a deal with coupon at $106 USD.

How hard was it to size the bracelet?

Rado D-Star quartz.

I’m posting this one because there’s no watch out there built of better materials at this price.

It’s quartz, but the case is Ceramos and the bracelet Ceramos and ceramic. Exotic stuff.

$569 with code “HELLO18”.

Edit: Come to think of it, of course it would be one of the mods who'd open a new thread as no one would dare to open one up and risk getting banned. Duh me.

Edit 2: Went back and checked the Affordable forum and noticed mod are still deleting posts and locking threads that have anything to do with reviving the bargain thread. These deleted posts and closed threads weren't even malicious posts - I dunno about the rest of you but that big brother attitude just irks me.

I bet they’re here too

Just for the record: I won’t turn my back in WUS. Tapatalk makes it easy to have both fora in the timeline, so no big deal (did I really say deal !?)

I personally like to see any and all deals. While I am not going to purchase a $20K + timepiece, there are others that could be of interest that may or may not qualify as affordable to others. I still appreciate the deal.

A column wheel Valjoux. May be interesting for mods, or upgrading a watch.

I'm almost certain they are, and they are as welcome here as anyone else.

Here here! And may the same be said also of deals at the other end of the price spectrum. Any and all deals appreciated.

Doable even with my big hands and a resizing tool. it's a straightforward pin system, no bus.

I agree. I may have a Toyota budget, but I still like reading about Ferraris.

35% off all clearance watches at Timeless Luxury Watches. A good selection of Bremonts and a few more exotic pieces (Louis Moinet and Speake-Marin). I don't know what the attitude is here toward luxury timepieces, but these are some great prices for great watches.

For example, this Speake-Marin Velsheda for $8,596.25:
