This CWS thing with Alpinas is a total mistake but it will be fun to watch. It's only supposed to be for a couple Alpina quartz chronos but I think it works on every single watch on the site.

Yup.

If I get the watch I ordered, score! If not, it's still fun to play the game.

This one is only 99 cents and I still don't think anyone will buy it.

Agreed....I like that gif. I'm wondering how long until they fix or take down that code. I think it could even happen at any moment. Someone at CWS must be a bit of a night owl. I knew that it was common for them to add new stock to the site in the evening. But I've realized more recently that sometimes they are still making changes in the middle of the night......after midnight. I'm picturing a facepalm and an "oh vey!" tonight or in the morning.

I think they're used to it by now, it's not the first time their code has gone haywire.

That's a beautiful site to behold. May as well ask them for reimbursement to complete the $100 off each item.

This reminds me of the time there were Omegas for basically 100% off and we all ordered them. I could've had a brand new planet ocean for $20! I forget where that was though, but sometimes it's just fun playing the lottery when you know it's not a sketchy site.

Order cancelled. Discount code not applicable. I guess an Inox is not an Alpina. Gee!

Sorry for the late reply, but I still have not worn any of my year end holiday purchases. May still take a while so I'll start with some preliminary info. Both have a nice semi gloss brushed finish with a mat finish on the sloping angular bezel side. I really like the case on these, perfect look for a tough tool watch with varying angular slopes and angles. The black case looks like a light gray charcoal color in many lighting conditions. Both dials are very easy to read, good bright lume close to Seiko lume. The green dial is two tone, with very good color intensity in sunlight, more pale in low light. Haven't worn them, but size, weight and shape tells me it should be comfortable. Heard mixed reviews on the strap, easy fix if it's not suitable. There is another model with a black dial, stainless case and very nice bracelet that may be the pick of the lot, but I'm looking for something different, either the green or black one to diversify my collection.

Started a thread here with some photos to help me decide. Hope this is of some help, any questions let me know.

Thanks to a good haul over the end of year holidays, I find myself in an unusual position these days. I seem to be drifting, direction unknown without any highly sought after watch to chase. Not that there aren't any of interest, they are simply not must-haves.

Well said. I had been in such stage for twice in my 20-year journey in this hobby. The first one lasted for about four years, and the second one for two. Trust me, you will back to the track again, just don't know when. Wish it won't be too long. Cheers.

That's just a sign you have a killer collection
