Whew I already bought another watch. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to largely skip BF from a WIS perspective at least. But it was worth it I believe.
I bought a new Zelos Hammerhead 2. I have wanted one for over a year, but they were sold out immediately and resale is a solid $150-$250 over retail (and they're hard to find secondhand to start with). I am excited to get this one, and also feeling good about the fact that if it doesn't stick I certainly won't lose money on it.

Did I need another watch? No. Did I buy another watch? Yes.

$35 USD after tax with a gift card that I couldn't figure out what to buy with.

Ended up getting this after my eBay offer was accepted. Grand total shipped from Japan after a $50 eBay coupon and 10% eBay bucks is $40 lol. It's working but there's one scratch on the glass, but overall it looks good I think.

Total impulse buy at eBay. Henri Sandoz for $20.00

Another mystery......Will it or won't it be fulfilled? Will I, in turn, feel fulfilled? I don't have all the answers. But I'm excited to find out. Seiko Presage SPB043 for $123. from Jet......and maybe I ordered a few other things too.....




And then I went back for more. Tissot Heritage Visodate T019.430.16.031.01 for $123. [mention]BostonCharlie[/mention] made me do it.



The Visodate says it's fulfilled by Jomashop. Somehow I doubt that's gonna happen. But if it does.......perfect scenario to use my #notreallyameme.



This guy cracks me up. I'm not a violent person but he has a fairly punchable face and something about him just makes me laugh.

These look great. I was so close to ordering one in August but never got around to it

Nice! I'm definitely gonna be placing an order too. The prices are just too good. And I love that they are always coming out with new stuff.

Well I ended up ordering a Seiko Marinemaster sbbn033 from Rakuten. It has some small scratches on the shroud but nothing too major. It was a super hard decision between this or a 1000m titanium/sapphire/ceramic model for a fair bit more, but after asking Seiko Canada how much a battery change on those costs (over $250) I decided to pass. So yeah, I can say I own a Marinemaster now

Oh yeah it also only cost $480

Very cool. Sounds like the scratches aren't bad but this is exactly the type of watch I don't mind buying and wearing all scratched up. A rugged watch that's meant to be used and abused. Enjoy!

Got a NOS Raketa Big Zero Mini coming in from Neo Classic Watches. I did as much due diligence to avoid fakes as I could. This shop seemed good and so far my transaction has been great. They also have an ETSY shop called BestVintage4You. I'll do a review of them in the Purchase, Product, and Retailers section once my watch gets here from Ukraine.

I think I've browsed their "shop" on Etsy before and was curious. Look forward to your review!

EMG Horizon incoming thanks to their Black Friday sale. This should scratch the TAG Heuer Monaco itch, 'cause a real Monaco is never going to grace my wrist. Now to see if I can find a short (110/60) 22mm rally strap on sale this weekend. (Doesn't everyone print life-size copies of watches to try them out?)
