Grandrally quartz chrono inbound from an eB*y seller this Friday. I had bought the green dial version last winter and I like it, but just haven't bonded with it. These are awesome and I LOVE this colorway! Green one will be going up for sale soon.

I had this color and REALLY wanted to like it but just didn't bond with it. Loved the dial so much. Great buy!Klaatu3 wrote:Grandrally quartz chrono inbound from an eB*y seller this Friday.

Finally took the plunge on this one. 36mm, Miyota 9039, Hi dome anti-reflective sapphire, 100 meter water resistance. I like the classic looks too.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Nice choice! These look great. When the Q reissue with Pepsi bezel came out I started browsing the vintage ones on ebay. This was immediately the one I was most drawn to. But I'd be more likely to go for this new one I think.recapt wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 2:08 pm This new Timex Q from Todd Snyder is on the way!

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Thanks for posting that pic, yinz. I hadn’t seen the original before. Looks like it had a different but equally cool bracelet. TS has been referring their “exclusive bracelet” on this model so I wonder if Timex will be releasing it directly with one that better matches your pic. Will be interesting to see.yinzburgher wrote:Nice choice! These look great. When the Q reissue with Pepsi bezel came out I started browsing the vintage ones on ebay.

Well, the seller went for my -$150 offer for his Jenny Caribbean, so I guess this is mine. Not an orange ‘63 1000, but still a triple seal.
The news came just after I made the decision that I needed a cheap car-inspired watch in my life (after reading a cool story about my WRUW watch today that connects the movement designer to Bugatti).

Not in the mail, yet, but I pre-ordered this from Reed's.
New user coupons don't apply to pre-orders but still got 5% cash back from Rakuten, so that basically takes care of the taxes.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
The 25% off code at Nordstrom Rack finally pushed me over the edge in ordering this Hamilton that I've had my eye on for some time.
Roughly $353 before taxes.
Granted, about $28 net cheaper at Ashford with their 10% code and cash back. But trusting that the Rack is an AD, so $30 for full warranty is fine by me.

Data-Link 150. Looks to be in pristine shape.
Now I will probably need to gather the supplies needed to build a programmer for it.

Seriously though, the technology is pretty cool. Sure we have blue tooth and USB and all that, but flashing a light to convey data is pretty cool.
I think I need to start a thread about these.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
WELL...I should've waited a week. Paid just over $300 on eBay plus shipping and tax, and now @pdsf posted in the HUISABH forum that Watchstation has this same model on flash sale for $195, free shipping and they're an AD. Aaaargh! Still...I got my ZO9604 quickly, am very pleased, and still think I got a bargain! (But isn't this really about the quest for the "best" bargain?) If you don't mind Swiss quartz, these Zodiacs are well-made and attractive.Klaatu3 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 7:37 pm Grandrally quartz chrono inbound from an eB*y seller this Friday.
