Today's Stowa deal, the "A-dial" Flieger Classic 40 for 935 Euro (vs. 1,100), plus shipping. As this includes VAT, price outside Europe should be lower (Edit: it's quoted at 824.71 Euro to the US). I took advantage of this sale last year and bought this watch, with which I've been very pleased.

A deal, but also a warning?

Dual Time Zone Claude Bernard quartz watches at Ashford for $114.39 after coupon "EXTREME."

Other variants are just a tad higher.

I think this Citizen is a JDM release. Seems to have found its way across the pond via our favorite """refurbished""" watch seller:

8 series movement, but nicely decorated. Nice looking bracelet too.

$203 minus 10% from store coupon means $183 before tax.
Most other listings for this model and its blue-dial variant hover around $400, and the cheapest I could find outside of this was $290 before shipping from Japan. I would jump on it myself but trying to abstain for a while...

I want to extend my thanks to @BostonCharlie and @PetWatch for dragging me into another completely unnecessary purchase.
Seriously, thank you guys, this watch is great!

Marking it as Lady's is just a sick fantasy of manufacturer. Considering that Invicta owns Glycine, the watch should be labeled as Toddlers.😁

It wears extremely comfortable, so far running about +2s/day. About 9.5 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, white dial makes it look bigger than 36 mm.
Reminds me of Tudor 1926 or Omegas from 1960s.
I highly recommend it for an affordable high quality daily dress watch.

Two minor complaints: 1. bracelet is smallish, 6 inch, so will fit probably 7.5 inch wrist at maximum. 2. I would prefer 100 m WR, even though 50 m is plenty for a regular shower/ office / workout activities.
Some real life pictures.

Numerous interesting Luminox tritium watches at Ashford and GooRoo -- check both for the best price/shipping/returns. Some have a stainless case, some have robez. They all seem to have either four or six trit tubes on the dial indices (vs. 12). The few listings I checked lack dimensions, and googling the model numbers didn't help. Maybe reach out to CS or go with GooRoo so you can return for free if it's not a good fit.

This screenshot is from Ashford, and the prices shown are before the EXTREME 12% discount code. I couldn't fit them all in one shot -- there are more:

Probably lowest prices ever with coupon. If going with Ashford don't forget cashback via Befrugal, Rakuten, etc

What is your wrist size and how many links did you remove to size the bracelet? Thanks.

Some nice prices from Heimdallar



I picked up a Kermit with a ST2130 high beat for $129 with bracelet.





Some of the deals charge to much for adding the bracelet so on some buy the bracelet separately for a better deal.
