MoT's WDF

Well won an auction for this Louis Erard powered by a Sellita caliber SW260-1.
I don't know why I am drawn to obscure/under the radar brands, but here we are.
Should deliver some time next week from the UK.

I have 3 watches incoming......maybe, hopefully. Most people report they have received their "ships in 1-2 months" or whatever time-frame Amazon orders but some have said otherwise. I have 2 of those pending. A Casio W736H-1AV for $7 and a AE1000W-3AV for $4. If I manage to get the third (not from Amazon, not a Casio) mystery watch, I'll be posting it in the deals thread for sure. I have a feeling someone else may find it and post it in the meantime, but I want to make sure my order ships first. It is something I never thought I would be able to find at this price.

My PM box is always open.

I used the RIVER25 code at River Edge and got this LE I’ve wanted since it came out.

Awesome! Glad you found one. Looking forward to a wrist shot with that behemoth. I would probably have to wear it on the outside of a puffy jacket.

Many thanks to [mention]BillionaireDoors[/mention] for this tip. Excited to try this one.

I've got a Waterbury Automatic coming in tomorrow. Thanks to [mention]cairoanan[/mention] and [mention]SuperFros[/mention] for posting the tip in HUISABH.

My official MoT Codek Spiral shipped last night!
Not my pic.

Welp here's my incoming mail [emoji28]

Is Seiko really releasing those watches with the whacky “S”?

You bet. Seiko sure ain't what it was 6 years ago. I ordered all those new ones so I can see in person which I like and how they compare. They sell out super fast around here.

So your plan is to order a pile and then return the ones you don't want? Are you planning to keep one or more?
(not trying to be critical at all- that's how some of us in the sticks have to do it)

Basically the only AD in Canada got them all in stock on Saturday. And they were all like 45% off, so like $165 to $190 all in for each model. Problem is local stores near me had none. So I ordered 6 well they were available and on sale (sale ended yesterday). I think I'm going to keep 2 or 3. Then I'll return or sell the other 3 because they were a good deal.

If you decide to sell the green/gilt I may be interested.
