HUISABH December 2018 Stats!

Post by MoT »

WHAT A MONTH!

A lot of things happened this month, biggest of all was the schism that saw this site born from the death of the HUISABH thread on WUS. Bigger than that was the fact that 298 deals were posted after this site was created. That is more deals than any month in 2018 except for February and November! All told, a whopping 505 deals were posted this month, making December the strongest month in 2018. I can't thank you all enough for grasping this site and running with it.

Stay tuned for a 2018 wrap up thread in the next few days. If there is a particular data set you'd like to see in that, please send me a PM and let me know.

Enough yikety yak, let's skedaddle on to the data!

Let's remember a few things first:
  • I based these calculations on new and refurbished watches only.
  • I do not include watch accessories or used watches.
  • I only included deals with links.
  • Prices include any applicable coupons/rebates that were available at the time, and listed in the post.
  • The retail price used was either the retail price listed on the selling website, or found on the manufacturer's site.
  • Currency, if not in USD was converted to USD using Google's currency exchange calculator on the date the deal was posted.
  • "Largest" and "Smallest" deal is based solely on the percentage savings from listed retail. I do not make subjective determinations on the brands perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.

Thank You ManOnTime! This made me smirk: "Largest Deal Not Invicta: Technomarine ...." Does it make sense to expand (or, I suppose, restrict) the category to Largest Deal Not Invicta Watch Group?

Thank you MoT. I love these.Thank you so much.
I agree with BC, I literally laughed out loud when I saw the winner of the best non-Invicta deal was an Invicta :D

But then we'd have to put Glycine in that camp as well. :D
