As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I'll second this. I made the mistake of buying one for my grandpa a couple years back and he calls me about once a year to replace the battery. I've never seen a watch burn through batteries like Pulsar.

Don't put it past your gramps that he's running the chrono 24/7 to burn the battery faster so he gets to see you more often. :lol:
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Super nice watch that is now 527 and change pre cash back (3% Rakuten) with the AFFETN40 code, along with every other Eterna listed which all work with that code I believe, including a couple of new Artenas with no pics, but after searching....2520-41-56-1259 is

https://www.ashford.com/us/watches/eter ... sct_eterna

And it is 143.70 with the code, before cash back, so below 140 eventually, for the best looking Artena imo....also is available with black strap ends in 1258, also available with black dial with both strap color choices, all 143.70. Oh silver dial too but who cares

Makes those Royal Kontiki GMT's which don't have pics yet $990. Way less than I paid for mine and I thought I got a good deal when I got it. If it was the black chrono I would be all in.

Considering the savings, the condition might not be an issue.
Of course, you can always return it since it's from the Amazon Warehouse if it is an issue.

Panerai Luminor GMT, model # PAM00088
Sale price is $3,638.70
List price is $7,500
Condition is - Used - Good / Medium scratch on housing. Minor scratch on wrist strap. Item is in original packaging, but packaging has damage.

Watchspree have a couple of Seiko "5KX" references on silicone for USD 168.90, the SPRD73K2 and the SPRD73K2. Models on bracelet start from USD 183,90.

There seems to be a $10 off (USD or SGD, dunno) code for signing up.

These have probably gone for less before, but these ship for free, and most importantly, ship to Europe.

The "zomg crazy Seiko charging 300 for a Seiko 5" watches are starting to go for the price of an old Seiko 5 Sports, who knew.

Ditto! When these came out, an AD tried very hard to sell me the SRPDK1, the blue one but on mesh, but I valiantly resisted!

That one looks spectacular in the metal. These all look so much better live than in any photos – especially Seiko's stock images.

The 40% off Eterna at Ashford looks like a great discount but their Watchgooroo ebay store beats those discounted prices on a few of the watches, such as the PVD bronze-coloured kontiki diver, the blue kontiki quartz chrono, silver Adventic etc.

I love the look of the Super Kontiki chronos, which go down to usd1500 after the 40% off, think that is as low as i've seen them. Manufacture chrono could be costly / difficult for future service/spares though
