I am trying to decide if I should get a Shark Diver 38 Ti (vs the Collins' Sonar in Yellow vs the Atom in Lagoon...)

I just checked Armida and Benarus and they have not started theirs yet.
Just an FYI

Helson's do tend to sell out of popular models during this sale, so if you see something you like and it has limited qty now, I wouldn't wait too long.

FWIW I love the Collins Sonar, what is the Atom Lagoon?

I appreciate the heads up! I checked out a SD 40 once. I thought the build quality was good.

NAD

How is this even possible if the crystal is actually sapphire?
...
They were definite gouges in the sapphire, not just abrasions.
My guess is that while it's scratch resistant, it's quite brittle, and thus was stressed enough to crack little chips off?
NAD. I managed to put a scratch in my GMT Master II's crystal when it hit the door handle when I was leaving the house in a rush. Still saddens me to this day.

Maranez is running their Chinese New Year deal through 2/7. Use code RAT for 20% off. For instance, you can pick up this brass Samui with a Turquoise dial for $279.20 after code (tested). Plenty of other unique dial variants for this and other models.

The Watchrobe based in Hong Kong has slow 2 Slow watches on clearance at $1320 HKD ($170 USD), original price $2300 HKD ($296 USD). Currently around $300 USD on Amazon. I haven't bought from them before but I have been to their store and the owner seems legit. I don't know much about Slow watches either but they may interest someone.

Fantastic deal. I know the charcoal dial just sold out last night for $500, but it does periodically restock. I'm hoping that the cream dial will as well.

From what I've seen, it does seem to have fairly subpar lume and the crowns are not equally positioned, if you can get past these "quirks" I'd say a great compressor-style watch.
Damn. Really wish it was the SS version. Just bought the RLG compressor from a previous deal but would be all over this it wasn’t PVD.

How does the bronze pvd look in real life?
The quality of the PVD is great, but as I mentioned, not sure how others may feel about about the shade of the supposed bronze as it looks like rose gold to me. But, I've never seen a true bronze watch in person so not sure if it's similar or not. The watch comes on a quality leather strap which to me makes the watch look dressier. On the rubber strap it looks more casual which at this point I'm liking more. In looking at different pictures around the net they don't really look like a match to the actual color for some reason. If unsure I think the seller has liberal returns so you can always check it out and probably just have to pay return shipping if not happy with it.

FWIW, Jomashop describes the case as, "Rose gold-plated stainless steel case with a dark brown leather strap. Fixed rose gold-plated bezel" (link).

Aye! "May need a battery replacement. All Sales are final!" They have been known to ship messed up returns, but iirc the guy this happened to received a full refund w/o a hassle and no return req'd.

Quoting Elkins45's mini-review on this Chinese automatic. Now $16 + $8 S&H = $24 otd (tested).

A curious looking automatic (it says -- but is it??); $80 - BLACKFRIDAY promo = $24 + S&H (tested). List: $400.

My Swiss Tradition $24 automatic arrived today. I can confirm that it's a Chinese movement automatic, hacking and hand winding. I would say it's easily the most attractive $24 watch I own. I think it looks pretty sharp and I'm glad I bought it.
