Well, summer is just about over and soon the leaves will be changing and the cool air will set in. Although TheJohnP, [mention]The Sultan of SoWhat[/mention], [mention]yinzburgher[/mention], [mention]BostonCharlie[/mention] and the other usual suspects were on their games, there was a decline of 85 deals from July. 405 deals posted from 96 brands (an increase of 1) produced a monetary total that was actually more than last month. An interesting result for sure, and most likely buoyed by deals from watches where the retail value is five digits.
TheJohnP remains the member to catch, although his deals in August were down 20 from July. We also had quite a few new deal posters this month, so I'd like to extend a special shout-out to them. Welcome [mention]bezel2019[/mention], [mention]BTP[/mention], [mention]KarmaToBurn[/mention], [mention]Neurogenes[/mention], [mention]Orrelljet[/mention], and [mention]the__fox[/mention]!
(I added a Non-Invicta/Fashion Brand category this month, just because. )
To the numbers!
(As always, if there is a particular brand, site or other pieces of data you'd like, let me know and I can provide it.)
Let's remember a few things first:
- I based these calculations on new and refurbished watches only.
- I do not include watch accessories or used watches.
- I only included deals with links.
- The retail price used was either the retail price listed on the selling website or found on the manufacturer's site.
- Currency, if not in USD was converted to USD using Google's currency exchange calculator on the date the deal was posted.
- "Largest" and "Smallest" deal is based solely on the percentage savings from listed retail. I do not make subjective determinations on the brands perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.
