Nice! Didn't see this watch on evine! I assume THIRTY takes 30% off ...
EDIT: Nevermind -- code THIRTY doesn't get me anything in Evine. Sorry. I am going to guess that it works for folks who utilized the 30% off buddy referral promo from a few days back.

They are showing a 20% off buddy referral promo teaser in the bottom left corner of my browser.

Seiko 5 Sports Automatic (4R36) 100m WatchSRPC53K1 - $131.93 from Areatrend on Rakuten with code APPAREL20

If you order before midnight PST you will earn $26.20 back in Rakuten points to use toward a future purchase. Including a forum pic I saw recently that impressed me.

They used to be known as ripoffartists. They changed it in the 9th century.

I'm netting $141 on this one after tax and $31.60 in Rakuten points (which will need to be spent later)

Can anyone comment as to how great (or not great) of a deal this is?

I already have an SKX013 (the mid-size black equivalent) and an Orient Mako 2 Pepsi.

I'm tempted to jump, but as I'm unsure, I can be swayed for or against. Thanks!

I'll just say that if you really like this watch, and there is something you want or need on Rakuten for $40 or more within the next year, than it's pretty much an unbeatable deal.
Edit: Sorry I missed your revised numbers initially. Still a great deal if you can spend the $31.60 wisely and plan on purchasing this watch anyway. It happens but it's not very common at all to find this watch under $160 anymore. Also, I just can't speak to how much you should want the watch given the rest of your collection. You would have to be OK with some redundancy.

I’ve got some amazon gift card to blow and I am thinking about some new leather bands. Anything particular you guys like on there?

I have never shopped with them, but when I was researching prices for a watch I was selling, those bastards were like $100 lower than any other site and within the first couple Google results. Ironically I couldn't find any other deals on their site at the time. Good finds though as usual BC.

Any time any SKX goes below $165, I consider it a great deal. I paid $160 ish for my 009 and still consider it a fantastic purchase. You would have some redundancy, but it is an amazing watch to mod if you ever wanted to go down that road.

I bought one of these to go on the $40 BUREI dress watch the last HUISABH thread tipped me off to. I was impressed by the thickness for $15. Caveat that by also saying I don’t wear it very often so I have no idea how it would hold up to significant wear.

Thanks for the comments, yinzburgher and Dub Rubb. I ultimately decided not to pull the trigger. Price is great, but, yeah, I think it'd be overly redundant given my current collection.

I guess that means I just earned $141 to spend on another watch? ;)

Man, I have been spending too much time in WPAC. A year ago, I would have said "buy it now! It may never be this low again!. Didn't you hear? It is probably maybe discontinued! This may be your only chance to own a piece of history! Did you know that it is ISO rated? You are basically stealing it at this price."
Man, I kinda miss the old me.
