The New Year always starts in a slump, and boy howdy, January did not fail in that regard! Every single metric was down, and some quite significantly.
[mention]flypanam[/mention] put up a fight, but couldn't repeat his valiant effort in December 2020 and gave up the top spot once again to [mention]TheJohnP[/mention]. It's a lot of fun seeing those two go back and forth. It's even more enjoyable to see new(er) names on the list such as [mention]Miggyd87[/mention].
Of course, I would never forget to mention HUISABH veteran and stalwart [mention]The Sultan of SoWhat[/mention]. Whenever a Maruice Lacroix Elrios or especially a Zeppelin is posted I instantly know who it is. Sultan, you're going to get me to buy a Zeppelin sooner or later!
Ok, 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 as close to the date the deal was posted as possible.
- "Largest" and "Smallest" deal is based solely on the percentage savings from listed retail. I do not make subjective determinations on the brand's perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.
