Hi all. I wanted to start a conversation and satisfy my curiosity about the personal aesthetic preferences of people in this community. There are functional ways to group watches (i.e. automatic, manual, quartz) and semi-functional, partially aesthetic ways (i.e., dive, field, dress) to do the same....

My wife drew one of the Santa Tree tags from Church that has a 17-year-old girl who has asked for jewelry. There's a price limit, but I'm going to ignore that one because getting something affordable that looks nice for someone who wants to look nice is the mission of this place. What's the absolut...

Not a watch I am very familiar with and this is an auction (so no telling where the price will end up), but Ebay has a Christopher Ward C-15 Henley in rose gold currently at $250 with about 2 hours to go. Seller (frugalhaberdasher) has 100% positive feedback. I have no connection to the seller. http...

Hi all. I love this thread. It's a good pick-me-up at the end of the year. My favorite purchase this year was The Ascendent from Mr. Jones. Sure, I love the watch, but it also has a bit of meaning for me. My wife and I bought a condo in 2007, about a year before the bubble burst. A few years ago, we...

Hi all. I am not affiliated with the seller described below, nor have I bought anything from them. Ebay user dexclusive-fashion has 22530 stars, a 99.7% positive rating, and some deals on Zeppelins and Orients (including a few Bambinos). dexclusive-fashion also has some Seikos, Raymond Weils, and Ju...

Hi all. Movado Company Stores is advertising autumn sales. 50% to 70% off online, or up to 70% off plus an addition 40% off in store. This seems like a semi-regular sale, or at least I think they had a similar sale around Memorial Day. In addition to Movado, brands include MVMT, Boss, Coach, Hugo, O...

Modest deal for a fashion watch. I have no connection to the watchmaker or the seller, but I have the non-limited version of the watch in question and like it. Mr. Jones Watches released a 100 piece, limited edition watch they named The Ascendent. It's a jump hour where the pattern of stars/moon on ...

Right now Italy is the worst case scenario, if the USA reaches this point we are looking at 32,700 deaths. Right now our death rate per million is 50 times lower than Italy. Man, I have not seen anything that indicates we aren't exactly on Italy's path. Especially now that many seem to be taking th...

Correct but deaths have been verified, most cases are not life threating, we can't shut down the country for months. The deaths suggest a huge number of undetected cases and portend a really rough next few weeks, as deaths are a lagging indicator of disease. It's not like people get sick, are diagn...

Hi all. I'm an academic neuroscientist. Currently, my university is closed and we have asked all non-critical researchers to work from home. By Friday evening, this will become mandatory, and it is likely this will be supported by revoking card access to buildings/labs for a large majority of resear...

Not a deal, but an availability. Perpetual Watch Company is selling an automatic Pointer Date/Moonphase. They are available in silver (PM-01) or black (PM-02) for $250. They were last available in 2014, I believe. perpetual-watch.com I bought one of the white/silver dial ones, used on a Martu leathe...

Hi all, I'd also like to send my thanks to Yinz, although the two Orient Stars I ordered (after sitting on the fence on a Presage for far too long!) are still processing and my hopes aren't up. May Duck Hodges pass for 300 yards in your honor, Yinz. I also want to say: there are still a number of au...
