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.

Wow those 171 and 169 dials are something.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Off Topic
On the other hand, put that Seiko patterned dial on those Bulovas and that would be impossible to resist

Piling on, looks pretty good in this photo with this strap. Not a fan of mesh.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
Anyone ever bought one of these? I find this shape, size, and color very appealing. Are they typical Seiko 5 quality, better, or worse?TheJohnP wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 2:31 pm Sale on Lip Watches direct from the brand.

I've got the 35mm GDG.
I like it quite a bit.
Never had a Seiko 5 so can't compare.
But I think it punches a little above it's weight.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
I picked up one of those Tony Kanaan 7750 chronos directly from Luminox at the end of last year for just $300 (yes, $300). It is a really nice watch, and even though I still prefer my watches slightly on the larger side....the 18mm height and 26mm lug width literally made it seem like I had a brick strapped to my wrist. Needless to say, it was a catch and release.
Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
How's the movement? It looks like these use ISA or ISASWISS quartz movements, which I have not had good experience with.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:49 pmvaluewatchguy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:32 pmAnyone ever bought one of these?

Thanks!
Lip brand has a fascinating history. For example, for about 2 months in 1973, during a labor conflict, the workers took over the factory, producing and selling watches without their employer. Oh, they also helped kickstart the Russian watch industry.
https://people.timezone.com/msandler/Ar ... p/Lip.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIP_(comp ... 2%80%9374)
https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/fash ... LIP26.html
Budget cuts, including reductions in workers’ salaries, resulted in growing discontent and many strikes. Workers’ unrest culminated in now-legendary events: In 1973, during a meeting with Lip’s work council, in which the employees were informed of a potential voluntary bankruptcy, some workers ripped the briefcase out of a director’s hand and discovered that the company was in fact planning to dismiss 480 of its 1,300 workers.
This led to the overnight sequestration of several managers and to an occupation of the company for 57 days. During this period, workers seized 65,000 watches, which they sold to make up for their loss of income. They also tried to put their own self-management team in place, proclaiming, “We produce, we sell, we pay ourselves.”
Living a comeback montage.
