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.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2022

Armchair analysis: I don't think the shadows match. The shadows on his face suggest light is low and to his left -- the visor of the helmet isn't casting a long shadow. The shadow from the watch suggests light coming from almost directly above. I saw some other photos in that series of him, it look...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020

This is the only watch I've owned with a tritium tube that 'sploded, splattering debris on the bottom of the crystal and leaving tritium shrapnel spread around the dial. I'm still able to use it to tell the time during the day, but the minute hand has been rendered invisible in the dark. Fortunatel...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

those are aliexpress watches, I have a black dial version of the first one that I got for like 75 dollars. I'm pretty sure i've seen some of those variants on there too... Agreed. Even the sale prices appear to be about 2-3 times the prices you would find on AliExpress. The Spectre-type watches are...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

Anyone heard of Generic Watch Co out of Chicago? They specialize in affordable mechanical and automatic watches, with sterile dials. I'm sure these are all just catalog pieces with mostly Chinese movements, except the autos which claim Miyota, but don't provide the caliber. Anyway, most of their ca...

Re: WRUW

New watch day thanks to the deals thread. My first chronograph of any kind and first Timex. It unexpectedly has a jumping hour hand instead of quick set date.Image

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

I can't vouch for the website, but a quick search says that some people have used it with success. If it isn't a scam, a Seiko automatic for $20 is a deal indeed. https://www.massgenie.com/seiko-men-sports-automatic-srpc53k-silver-stainless-steel-japanese-fashion-watch-a00143e123dda910 If anyone el...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2019

I am so itching to buy one of these Fugus. However, I am not sure how I would do with a non hacking movement. It might be a catch and release if I don't like it. Does anyone have any educated guess which version, other than the green, would have the best resale value? Do you have any non-hacking wa...
