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! 2021

I would prefer a chronograph caliber to a modular one. With full calendar and moon phase, we have the ETA 7751 "Valjoux". Example, this Longines Master. Supposedly, the official price is 3325USD and it would be lowered to 2166. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Longines-Master-Collection-Autom...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2021

A reminder that this is still valid until tomorrow, 28th. Speaking of tomorrow, the 28th, I got an offer from eBay/PayPal offering zero percent financing. Expires tomorrow. Not sure if this was targeted or not, but if you wanted to buy say a $2500 watch You'd only pay about $100 per month for 24 mo...

Re: Tropical dials.

Very beautiful. "Chronographe Suisse" I think I remember that it was a generic brand, used by several small manufacturers, in watches that were bought as souvenirs by tourists who traveled to Switzerland. A few years ago, a manufacturer used the name again, although it was short-lived on t...

Tropical dials.

Some dials turn sepia or tan color with time and sun. They are known as "Tropical". Some pics from the net... https://d29ueykkv8fpnq.cloudfront.net/variants/dzvljh6z6yedxs9rhzpjggmvmnwt/2487484a100f8052f9c7344b0366e0677c80cf573c54b5d5c90a2f45ad604602 https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3e/0b/e3...

"Supposedly" discounted 630USD. In case there is anyone who has a wrist as thick as my thigh, and is a very, very, very big fan of Mandalorian and "Baby Yoda" (my sister is an enthusiast, and I don't see her wearing this watch).... https://invictastores.com/invicta-star-wars-the-...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2021

Not really a deal as much as a presale: Tsao Legacy presale launched, 40mm with internal rotating bezel. Multiple color ways available, but damn it’s hard to find a purple dial so I’m all over it. MD-1 movement? Anyone know what that is? According to The Tome Bum review, which more has more photos,...

They have a mail: info@altherr.de A sale is a sale, whether a customer is in your city or on the other side of the globe. Who knows, maybe they can send to the US if contacted. Some great deals at Altherr, especially if they deduct VAT. However, USA cannot be selected as a shipping destination when ...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2021

For a watch to bear the "Made in Glashutte" label, it has to have more than half the value, I seem to remember, of both the caliber and the watch, made in that small Saxon town. This seller has several Bruno Söhnle on offer, but this model, marked down from 545EUR to 199 according to the s...
