[mention]TheJohnP[/mention] threw down the gauntlet, challenging someone to knock him off his horse. You maniacs picked it up and ran with it. 1,007 deals were posted in September, an all-time record for a single month! [mention]cairoanan[/mention] should expect to be tested for PEDs as he ran away with this month's Top Deal Poster Award with a total of 378, and solidly clobbered TheJohnP who was no slouch with 312 deals. Did cairoanan ever sleep? Is his job in jeopardy? Has his significant other left him? Will my keyboard and sanity ever recover? At times this month, I was compiling and recording information upwards of three hours a day just to keep up with everyone!
My fingers are sore, and my eyes are blurry. It was a great month, and the numbers show it. Just look at those deal and retail totals! We have never had numbers like that! Over $1.2 million in retail value! You are all amazing. Finally, I'd like to welcome our thread newbies: [mention]aeroman5[/mention], [mention]brad94[/mention], [mention]rick blaine[/mention].
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.
