As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I fail to see how pointing out deals I missed makes my life any better :( LOL

I apparently just missed out on that awesome Casio deal by a day. Oh well, I’ll get ‘em next time. Merry Christmas!

Twenty bucks can deliver a variety of watch value. This one is fine.

I believe that one important factor in this category is free shipping. I just quit Amazon Prime, giving me reason to reflect on the awesomeness of free shipping. For those who don't have a free-shipping subscription, I can think of two great sources for sub-$20 Casios:

TheCasioStore on eBay, which is Casio's eBay storefront. Free shipping, free returns and often great prices. Their prices and selection vary enough to make it interesting to visit from time to time:

Shopemco on eBay, free shipping and free returns, great prices and interesting models. I bought my F-91W from them (and it passed the CASIo test).

https://www.ebay.com/sch/shopemco/m.htm ... pg=&_from=

For example, here is a cool Casio for $19.49 incl. free shipping & free returns from Shopemco. 56mm x 16mm. IIRC this watch is unusual for its ability to display three times at once:

Don't forget 6% cash back at GivingAssistant, making it $18.79 (+ tax on $19.99).

Dang, they are pricing these Timex Mk1s like candy!

At that price, yeah, I ordered one. Great find, yinzburgher.

Nice! Pics here when you get a chance? As much as I love Timex and deals, I just can't buy every one. :( So I gotta enjoy them through you guys on some of these! :D

That Timex MK1 deal is tempting, yinz!... NOTE: 3% cashback on Rakuten applies!

Showing off this Skagen Fisk quartz, which I lucked out on in December. Briefly available then on a coupon deal for under $15 shipped! (You can still find these in the mid-30's if you look.)

Solid fashion watch in a diver style. It came on a nice silicone strap, but to change it up for the weekend I have it on a Fossil NATO I had sitting around. Love the combination of blues!

Alas, I won't be able to pick up mine until I get back to the US, but who knows when that'll be, given the state of the world. I've got a trove of super cheap affordables awaiting me when I do. At least I have that to look forward to.
