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.
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?
-- Enjoy your time

I appreciate the heads up! I checked out a SD 40 once. I thought the build quality was good.valuewatchguy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 6:57 amJust an FYIpdsf wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 4:00 am Helson's Chinese New Year code is active: CNY2020

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?

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020
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.

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.Sav wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 6:40 pmDamn. 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.Nsjong wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:02 pm
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.
How does the bronze pvd look in real life?
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.BillionaireDoors wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 11:59 am Extra 80% off with code BUYB4ITSGONE

Quoting Elkins45's mini-review on this Chinese automatic. Now $16 + $8 S&H = $24 otd (tested).
Elkins45 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 11:33 amMy 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.BostonCharlie wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 1:15 pm
A curious looking automatic (it says -- but is it??); $80 - BLACKFRIDAY promo = $24 + S&H (tested). List: $400.
