I got this from CWS but don't know if it works because I got nothing to buy: 9Cn5CrDCdnFaCAs33rs ($10 off $100 or more). Test it yourself.

Did someone mention a $10 off Amazon purchase recently? I thought I saw something, but now I can’t find it.

My Gemnation Kontiki Royal flyback chronograph from Gemnation has arrived. Stunning cannot believe the quality, in house calibre and flyback for the cost. Thanks to the forum and @cvp for helping me acquire this beauty....[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201902 ... 4eed8c.jpg[/IMG]

Parnis.org has a 15% discount, looks like sitewide with additional discounts on some models. Buy 2 and get 20% off.

Be aware that some models have the inferior lowbeat Miyota 8215 on models that previously came with highbeat 9015.

This Daytona is quartz:

I'm not familiar with KS at all so these are the KS article about the chance of getting the money back in case the project failed:
https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/a ... o-fulfill-
https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/a ... r-project-
Sounds like it's up to the creators. If they won't refund the money then basically you lost the money.

Correct.
Caveat Emptor with all Kickstarter campaigns.
For instance here's an article following up on the notorious Coolest Cooler kickstarter - https://www.geekwire.com/2017/thousands ... r-3-years/

On the one hand, you do have a significant safeguard that if a project doesn't meet their goal, then you won't get charged.
And typically I do try to filter out the nonsense that doesn't seem likely to happen.
Even if I've not heard of the brand, seeing they have a prior release under their belt, then the chances are significantly higher that they'll be able to get a second model to fruition.

But if this is their first campaign and they're doing something interesting and the price isn't too much of a gamble, I'll highlight it for others to make their own decision.

And you WON'T have a problem getting the Xeric. They are fairly well established at this point. I believe they're the house brand of Watches.com

Never having owned Parnis.
Is these junk or will they at least be as good as the equivalent priced Seiko/Citizen?

I am wanting to try a Panerai style and this one appeals to me. $178??

From the Parnis watches I've owned & handled, they're about equal quality-wise to an average Seagull, or maybe a half-step below, depending on the specific model.

From what I've experienced with Seagull... the quality is pretty darn great for the popular models, and more-than-acceptable but not "great" for the not-as-popular models.

Here are a few of the remaining watches the EGDVDAY code applies to. There are likely others that it applies to that I haven't tried. Don't forget to go through Ebates/Rakuten for 3% cash back.

All 3 Oris BC3 models - starting at $458

I get the following error

Off Topic

CODE "EGDVDAY" IS ONLY VALID FOR 2 DAY AIR SHIPPING

Still seems to be active for me on mobile. I think on desktop it made me enter all the shipping info and select 2 day shipping before the discount would appear.

Thanks I'll try that. How much is the discount? Different for each watch or a fixed %?
