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.

Those look pretty good, and $199 is hard to beat.

But the alignment in the renders. :lol:

Perfectly fine date at 6 in the renders. Then 3:19 in the production model?!?

EDIT: Saw the note about the photos being the old model. Good! That is nuts.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

As long as they don't order their other catalog parts from Seiko, they should be fine for production!

agreed on previous comments, nice deal for $199. If the bracelets are straight forward decent quality, this deal seems like a winner for a lot of folks.

Oh, I do miss the days when I had room in my watch cases for $199 watches. I do love to shop still though!!!
Make time to take time.
