Edit - Is this thread only for watches? We need a NON thread for searches. Or maybe I’m losing it and we have that. Sorry.


@robotazky

If we have a Heads Up for non watch items, seems logical to add a Help Me Find a Bargain for non watches.
OK. I’m not losing my mind, yet. *whew*

I missed out on one of these back when they were on sale a few months ago. I recently saw one pop up on the sales board and it has made me realise that I really want one! I can't seem to see anymore online.
I don't see any listed around the previous sale prices but this ebay seller has it listed at $530 and has a "make an offer" option.

Thank you for the PM.

Unfortunately both options will not ship to Australia. It’s not just the terrible exchange rate we have to deal with when watch shopping!

I just wanted to point out also, the first class watch price is for the quartz model.

Thank you.

I have sent them a message on eBay. Hopefully they will accept an offer around the previous sale price!

Sorry to hear...did not realize shipping to Australia. You are right about the firstclasswatches link...sorry I missed the difference in model number. You could try contacting the seller for the fallback option to see if they would ship to you...or could try a remailer.

Update: I just sent over a few additional options...

I can understand the aversion to sales tax but I actually think that's not a bad deal for the SRP777. In the past year, prices have often been higher. But I think if you're willing to wait you may get a new one a few dollars cheaper. Otherwise I would look for a used example on watch recon/forums or set an alert on ebay. Also keep an eye on Inventory Adjusters (use code NEW2019) and this ebay seller https://www.ebay.com/usr/zlatan16?_trks ... 7675.l2559 if you're interested in a store display model at a decent price. Hope you find one at a good price.

I would just like to thank [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] and at [mention]FTE[/mention] for the expert help on the Dreyfuss. I have just placed on order with HS Johnson. A touch higher than previous sale prices but I think a good deal for a limited edition.

I will be sure to report back when it arrives.

Cheers guys!

Last year Black Friday(ish) they were running a 15% off coupon, but I missed it. That brought the price to £382/$504 US + 15 GBP shipping.

I've also heard there was a 35% off coupon at one point, but I can't find a working one.

I seem to have fallen for the Graham Siverstone RS endurance. Searching around I have found them for around £2200 in 7750 variant and nearly £3000 for the 24hr endurance in red...

Has anyone seen cheaper are they worth the cost as RRP seems very high....[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201904 ... 56775b.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201904 ... b7426d.jpg[/IMG]

Does anyone remember which company made the green dial pan africa watch and now the blue dial european version?

Any discounts or history available, I've been considering the blue dial but can't recall the company name.
