The gales of November will soon be blowing, bringing for some of us cold weather and snow. Deals will keep us warm, though! After September's deluge, October was predicably slower but still at or above levels posted in other non-challenge months.
[mention]cairoanan[/mention] took a much deserved rest this month while [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] activated cruise control, taking the crown with 190 of the 458 deals. Delas are still solid, with an average of 61.07% of retail, which is barely lower than September. With the upcoming holiday shopping season will the deals get stronger? If the past two years are an indication....maybe.
A flock of deal posting newbies this month!

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.
