I've subscribed. How do I access the 40% or River Edge? It's probably hell obvious, but I can't find how? I've logged in and out of MoT. I've checked my private messages and emails - nothing? My bad I'm sure.

Order placed with my Inner Circle subscription. By far the best deal for a Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba. Got it on bracelet too (price was too good). Thanks John!

Photos incoming when received.

Thanks again team. Now the wait. Hahaha.

I never gave this watch one second thought after seeing the marketing/promo images, but today I saw a real owner's photo of the watch and it went from zero to need for me. Why do manufacturers post such **** official photos?!
Best I'm seeing is WatchMaxx on eBay for $390 with a "Make Offer"
No experience if they discount further with the make offer, but can't hurt to try.

Hey [mention]Thrax[/mention]. If you haven’t made a move on this yet, and have the patience to do so, you might want to keep an eye on Macy’s. Their pricing swings wildly based on their constantly changing promotions. Plus they offer Rakuten cash back (which can swing as well).

The price isn’t great now unfortunately. And I know the feeling of sudden infatuation when it comes to watches. Waiting isn’t always ideal [emoji6]

I’m looking for a great black strap with contrast red stitching that is 22mm but tapers to 18.

Any recommendations on deals on any of the Seiko turtles? used to have a Seiko turtle gilt (srp775) that I loved and it "disappeared" during a home renovation we had last year. I still miss itImage

I'm still bummed about missing the Seiko Baby Alpinist for half price last weekend. Anyone have a sense of where else one of them (SPB 155, SPB 157, SPB 159) might be found for any discount? I've only seen them at $650 or so for the leather strap ones (MSRP $700). Any leads appreciated!

One of the few remaining in-stock deals from Timeless Luxury's 50% off Valentine's Day special is this latest version of the STO Turtle:

You may want to call River Edge to see if something they can get for you and work a deal on it.
Don't see any in stock online, but if they did the standing 40% discount as an Inner Circle member would get you close to that Timeless sale.

I need another 2-or-3+ piece winder. The only winder I've ever had is the $40 Ross Simons double winder. It's still going strong after like 2 years. Problem is I now have more than 2 automatic watches I'd like to keep on it and holy crap can winders be expensive. There are options on Amazon, but I feel like that is going to be a crap shoot in terms of quality. So give me your deals on cheap winders, extra points if you have used it and it lasts. Two pillows on one turning mechanism is OK, since I don't really wear watches bigger than 40mm.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Seiko Presage **** Time "Old Fashioned" SRPD36.

Image

I've been wanting one for a long time, and I was quite bummed that I missed out on one during the Timeless Luxury 50% off craziness.

I want one that's brand new. Refurb is ok, but it must come with the box and extra strap.

Ideally I'd like to stay under $325-$350. Timeless was selling for $297. :evil:

Have you tried contacting Timeless and asking if they would match or come close to the V-day price?

Funny thing is that I did exactly what you're suggesting earlier today regarding the spb145, fingers crossed they get back to me because I'd totally bite if they come close to their sale price
