As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

First Crack at HUISABH for IC members

Post by TheJohnP »

Something I've been thinking about is that some of the "better" deals I find should be offered up to you Inner Circle members first, as an additional benefit for supporting the site.

For example, I saw that the Fuyugeshiki is back in stock at Amazon Warehouse.
So up for grabs for a limited time before I post in the main thread!


Seiko Presage **** Time Fuyugeshiki Power Reserve Limited Edition, model # SSA385 / SSA385J1
Sale price is $435.47
List price is $625
Condition is - Used - Very Good / Item is in original packaging, but packaging has damage.

Zodiac Watch SuperSea Wolf GMT "Sherbet" ZO9403 Limited Edition sold at retail but becomes a deal when you add €8.33 extra, for an Alpina Startimer AL-235B4FBS6 watch with a listed retail of € 437.50. Link here https://ocarat.com/montre-supersea-wolf ... 66416.html

Even at retail there's only 282 units and I think soldout everywhere. Grab it quick.

I don't know if any of these prices are any good.
But prefer one of you all to get at these first if they are.

Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000V-1ER / Aged IP for €707.63/USD 830.28 - 15% off at Ocarat. Retail listed at € 832.50/USD 976.80 which is close to the actual retail of USD 1000. This model is sold out everywhere and on eBay prices range from USD 1000 to well over USD 2000. Seems like a good investment even if you don't like the watch.

G-Shock UK product page for this model shows that they only had 300 units for the UK market priced at £899.00/ USD 1168. Product page listed here https://g-shock.co.uk/gmw-b5000v-1er

There are postings elsewhere saying that there were a total of 3700 units worldwide and this was also on the G-Shock UK website.This is not visible now so i guess it's not verifiable. If you do like the aged IP/patina look be aware the watch still looks rather new than vintage based on multiple videos/reviews/pictures found on internet. Lowest on Amazon was USD 699.99 back in Feb 2020 according to camelcamelcamel.

A new B-Stock item at Serious Watches that looks pretty good. This one features the hand winding Edox Cal. 72 movement, which is based on the Peseux 7001.

But check the link for more detailed pictures on the condition.

Edox Les Bemont, model # 72010 3 ABN
Sale price is €399
Without VAT for US buyers is €329.75 (around $384.41)
List price is €899 (around $1,048.10)
B-Stock rating is: 4/5 (1/5 is a very minor blemish and 5/5 extensive wear)
Condition is: The watch has the incorrect band - the original is black whereas this one is brown. It is also not an original Edox strap, but instead from a brand called 'Miller'. The case features some scratches.

Based on the actual item photo above, I think the main watch pic is wrong. This seems what the watch should actually look like:
