It turns out, it was interesting!
HUGE gains for November, and to date the best month of 2021. We even beat (slightly) November of 2020, which can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2289
TheJohnP once again dominated the posting race, with The Sultan of SoWhat putting up a solid second place. It's always nice to see the stalwarts on the list, but equally as nice to see increased activity by others. Thank you to everyone for making November awesome!
All the numbers were up, except for that pesky percentage. An anomaly? I guess we'll find out in the coming months...
Anyway...
On 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.
