December, and 2019 that is.
Wow. You maniacs really kept up the pace to end out the year! 641 deals were posted, an increase of 42 over November! I wish I had the stamina some of you legends seem to possess!
No, the record isn't skipping, but [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] is once again on top with 140 deals, though he seems to have taken a bit of a breather as he was down 40 from last month. Though the amount of deas posted increased, the overall value, as well as percentage savings, slipped slightly, but still ended strong with 60.98% average savings over retail.
A big crop of deal thread newcomers this month, welcome!: [mention]bb_sub[/mention], [mention]Bergbergs[/mention], [mention]Derek80[/mention], [mention]FilthyWatchTan[/mention], [mention]jls36[/mention], [mention]Mercifulfate[/mention], [mention]mitrii[/mention], [mention]Mrbiglens[/mention], [mention]Nsjong[/mention], [mention]ohenry1[/mention], [mention]riggle[/mention], [mention]tuanxuan9891[/mention], [mention]unforced_error[/mention], [mention]zoysiamo[/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.
