Oops sorry! Yea i started with Oris 65 and ended up with this. Now I have to move a lot of pieces in my current collection. As I was not planning on a big purchase right now.

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with either. I've had both the Oris 65 bronze bezel, and the Black Bay S&G, both great watches in their own right. Just know that the Black Bay has a pretty thick case compared to the 65.

Pre Owned. Very Good Condition.
May have light scratches. Original Box, Original Manual, Ashford 1 Year Warranty
For 50% off I might take a flyer
I bought a used Khaki Aviation from them a year or two ago. It was in really good shape and as described. I ended up returning it because the same watch, but new, went on sale for $20 more a couple days after I bought the used one. No problems with the return either, though you do pay shipping back yourself.
Mine was still wrapped in plastic. Mint condition.

I need to measure my wrist, it might be too big a watch for me. Can you share the coupon code you used to get 15% off? Thanks!
I used a 15% ebay coupon that has already expired. They offer them pretty often (there has been at least one more between xmas and New Years). I had been watching this for several weeks, so I was ready to go. I do keep an amazon and e-bay "wish list" so I am ready to go when these pop. I try to look at something for a month or two before I buy. This also helps to avoid "buying the deal" instead of the watch. It doesn't always work (I impulse bought the Cos-bat, but I had been studying up on Glycine). Good luck - people are REALLY good about posting the coupons here, but some of them are only good for one day, so you need to keep up.

Maybe this will help with the size question. Here is a picture of the Aquarius on my 8 inch wrist. I am happy with the 46mm size - but YMMV.

Well I tried to hold out on the RG deal but I had to grab this once I saw it. Fingers crossed all works out, no Ebates check mark or invoice yet.

Should work out to $347.21 after cash back.

I know there are conflicting opinions as to wether the 26% applies to watches. However, if it ends up not applying is there any easy way to cancel the order? Because although I've used Rakuten a lot, I've never needed to cancel an order but I imagine it isn't quite easy to do especially through Google translate lol.

Has anyone here cancelled an order before?

I cancelled a RG order when Befrugal had a 20% cashback that only showed as 4% in my account. I replied to the email from the seller explaining my predicament and they apologised for my inconvenience. Very straightforward.

I canceled a fairly high-dollar order from Nanaple when they were messing around with the order and payment, and then tried to get me to complete the order outside of Rakuten. Similar story with Gallery Rare after they disclosed a scratch on the bracelet clasp. Usually they will confirm with you before they actually process the payment through so you should be able to cancel fairly easily if the 26% isn't showing. I wouldn't ever pay before the cash back posts anyway.

Has anyone gotten the confirmation from Ebates yet that the 26% hit your account?

Good to know. I guess in the future I will always use PayPal for paying. In the past I had no issue with paying via credit card through Rakuten, but because of that they decide when to process the payment, not me.

Some nice Rakuten Seiko deals for budgets of all kinds (prices are net after rebate):

All watches have been price checked and are cheaper than you can find at most of the "regular" places bargain-hunters like ourselves check.

The only point of contention would possibly be with the Mini-Turtles, where shipping cost may outweigh the savings. This would be true of any watch deal on the more budget-side of the spectrum.


Seiko Mini-Turtles In Different Flavors for $237-$261 (including the PADI version):

Also just in general - Your experience on Rakuten will honestly greatly depend on the vendor you buy from. I have bought from a few different sellers (a couple of which are linked above), who had great customer service and had the transactions go extraordinarily smoothly. Others have tried to pull some funny stuff and I've had to cancel. I only usually buy brand new JDM model watches, so buying from authorized dealers may be a factor here, since I'm not buying from independent sellers.

Ask the seller to cancel (or ignore the email with payment link).

Actually, disregard the Mini-Turtles in my above post. Found a better place for those interested... and it's actually.. Walmart of all places!

J-models are available for relatively bargain prices right now:

Black dial SRPC37J1 for $275, blue dial SRPC39J1 for $271. These prices match the lowest eBay prices, and beat camelx3, but walmart also has 5% cashback with ebates / 10% cashback with BeFrugal.

With the 10%, this brings prices below $250 . If you're an eBates loyalist, it's still less than $260, and shipping is free CONUS.


Update - eBates only has 1% for watches, but BeFrugal has 6.5% cash back for watches and jewelry. Would bring the price for the blue dial to $254 plus free shipping.

If PayPal is the medium, you just don’t pay it.
