Due to the recent sales tax money grab, I've turned down a few deals due to the taxes.... (I'm in NJ where the new tax rules kicked in May 1st.)

Thanks in advance!

I see this is starting to hit more peeps.....
I was having my purchases sent to a NY address until the beginning of this month. Now I'm charged tax there as well....

Anyone on the east coast know a reliable forward shipper that's located in Delaware? (They have no sales tax....)

A few sub-$500 automatic Marvin watches on ToM. I ordered one from a previous sale, and it came with a stamped warranty card.

The red and gold is a gorgeous combo. Looks vintage to me for some reason.

Out of curiousity what price range does a purchase need to be where the cost of the forward shipper is less than the sales tax you could hav been charged? assuming 8.5% tax rate?

I'm not sure, I don't have a comparison of prices from forward shippers. The one place I did see charges about $200 a year, plus the cost of shipping. I'd assume there are better options out there, but even if not, that'll still save a lot of money. Over the last couple of months, I did not purchase multiple items due to the additional $2-300 of taxes....

Anybody had one of the Horween straps? My main concern is the thinness of the quoted dimensions on these. One of the straps I bought from them on a Christmas sale feels a bit cheap for the same reason, but is a different type of leather.

Wait... if you ended up NOT buying, didn’t you already save as much money as you could? ;)

Man I love this watch, but the longer lug-to-lug means it’d be too big for my small wrist. I think I read online that it comes in around 52mm lug to lug. :(

This Victorinox Chronograph with a brown dial is listed as a woman's watch--but the specs say it's 41mm in width.

Nice looking watch; anyone want to give it a try for $149.99 at Amazon? (At Certified, where it's listed as both 40mm and 41mm, it's $40 more.)

Not much of a deal here, but I think these are pretty cool for sub $200USD. Just stumbled across it recently and wanted to share. Probably worth waiting until the next ebay 10-20% off code though, before buying. Btw, I think this started out as a kickstarter watch around 2018.

Anyway, it seems to use a Sea-Gull ST3620 (clone of ETA6498 right?). So, this watch is competing with all those other (cheaper) 44mm range Parnis watches with same or similar movements and designs. So, your call if this version is really worth the extra money or not. I'm into it though. I am actually waiting for a few more parts I ordered and then will try to build my own, so I won't be picking one of these up myself... unless I really eff up my build.

There is also another dial style, and a PVD or "bronze" case:
