Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

The strap will likely be junk, but could be a holiday watch.

Halloween?

After buying 4 new batteries, the Pathfinder cost me $8 total. Seems to work ok.

Awesome. Got 2 Horween straps for $29 shipped!

Edit: A little less pumped after John's post but $13.50 for a Horween strap is still good IMO. That's less even than Cheapest NATO. We'll see how they turn out!

Update for those curious: It isn't starting off well. The straps have still not shipped yet. Ordered on May 11. Got an update on May 23, saying they had a lot of straps to ship. Update said to expect them to be shipped over the weekend and arrive today or tomorrow. That ain't gonna happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Didn't Lakehouse go out of business back in January too? Could have sworn....I bought some of his straight untreated leather nato style straps then. fo 50% off. took awhile but they show up eventually.

They got stuck somewhere for a long time before reaching me. I think that had more to do with the postal service than Lakehouse though.

That said, the straps all came with the strong size. They were about 1 mm bigger than ordered and one of then was even shorter than usual (was on the second to last adjustment hole on a 7" wrist). Didn't really pursue it since they were going out of business, but I did reply to their email about the last clear out of stock (which is what Boourns probably ordered from), but got no reply.

So if anyone wants some 22 mm and 23 mm straps, I'll move them on at cost.

At $119 on Amazon, seems like a deal to me. So darned tempting!

Thanks for the post!
Made the classic mistake of 'buying the deal' on a PRG 270 before and never wear it as it is digital.
Been trying to justify buying the ani-dig and this was it.
Thanks again.

Glove box watch flash deal for big wrists. Quartz, 44mm x 10mm, high domed crystal, 30m WR. Also: synthetic strap, alloy case. They say the crystal is mineral, but I would expect it to be acrylic because of the other specs and because it is domed. Flash deal from W2U, so coupons don't stack: $25 incl. international shipping, 2-year mfg. warranty. RRP: $57. Model: French Connection SFC101B.

For anyone interested in the new colorways that Seiko released for the Monster, or the new STO Great White Shark Edition Turtles and Samurais, or the 3 new Prospex Land colorways, Starbuy Australia has a 50-80 pieces of each according to Deepak, and has a 'private sale' promo code based deal taking 100 AUD off of the price of each of them. I wasn't going to post because the last Watch Frenzy post he said they got overwhelmed. This sale is a little less 'overwhelming' but should be the best prices available anyway, not my cup of tea to go to a Monster with a 6R36 or whatever movement when last year's had 6R15's, but nice colorways nonetheless. And I got Deepak's permission to post, the email went out a couple days ago

Sale should be going to midnight Friday Aus time so another 24 hours or so I think?

The 539 AUD price on the STO Great Whites= $372.63 USD 1 AUD = .69 USD
and I'm gonna put it in bold again just to annoy you:
PRICES IN PICS ARE IN AUD the bold is for people like me who just skim the posted pics, see
shipping to US is via DKL and arrives to Portland OR in 2 days! 20 AUD first item +10 AUD next 2 items 40 AUD max ($14 for one watch, 21 for 2, 28 for 3 or 4 or 5) EDIT I WAS WRONG ABOUT SHIPPING, IT'S 40 AUD NOW NO MATTER HOW MANY WATCHES. IT HAS RECENTLY CHANGED I BELIEVE SORRY FOR THE MISINFORMATION. CHANGES THE CALCULUS QUITE A BIT ESPECIALLY FOR A SINGLE WATCH ORDER....however, Deepak has in the past held a watch order for me until I could combine multiple items, a couple of weeks, so there's always that. I can't guarantee he would do it in the future but you can always ask

Link to STO page...the Samurai appears to be taken down sorry bout that

If you really gotta have one of these new colorways, they were all just released 2 days ago I believe, and these appear to me to be the best prices by $70-100

Ashford Certina DS-1 on bracelet, small seconds, ETA 2825. $279.99 3% cash back with Rakuten/ebates so about 271.59 after that....next best I see is 369 at Joma

Or the Certina DS Podium Automatic (38mm) is you prefer a sweep seconds hand like I do...ETA 2824. I won't bother posting the Powermatic model

same price as above, 279.99 minus 3% ebats 271.59. Joma has an 'out of stock' listing at 269.99, eBay has it for 468

Codes for Pre owned and Clearance items appear to be inactive at Ashford now. Big bummer.

Personally, I've found every Certina piece I've owned to be really nice quality, and they come in a fantastic box even the cheaper quartz models, if you're into that sort of thing.

BTW you can find this model on leather at similar or even cheaper prices very commonly, than this one, but I don't see it on a bracelet this low, correct me if I made a mistake please.

[testing123]

NAD, but just want to point out that the drop for the Armand Nicolet M02 for 729 (???) here can be had at Ashford here for 549. Not a deal really at either location

[testing123]

Not a huge deal by any means, but Ashford also seems to have the best price on one model of Purist Glycine Airman models, at 459.99 - 3% ebates = 446.19
Nest price I see is with Glycine-Direct on ebay at 499.99. It's not every day someone beats their price.
