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.

That digital/direct read could be of interest
The one bottom left? Yeah, I was just thinking the same. Also, I wonder what all that stuff is at the bottom of the case. Looks like a watch head and a pouch in the left corner, and at least a strap in the right corner. A fascinating treasure chest.

I am hoping....I really only bought it for that jump hour watch, and a bit for the nixie. The entire lot was under $160. I think that is another watch head, or at least case under the pouch - will see. Figure in watch bands / bracelets alone it should be worth it...if I get something cool than even better.

Have been interested in these for a while now:

The hour hand is a bit off, but I am hoping I either don't notice once I see it or it can be fixed relatively cheap. Got a decent price considering prices are going up in the last couple years.

I wish that watch were 38mm?

I am 99% sure this is going to be too big for me, but I have never tried one before.

This is what happens when I start looking around for something. I end up finding and buying something else. I wanted a jubilee for a SARB and ended up buying a Uncle Seiko BOR bracelet for the SKX. It was an ebay auction that I didn't think I would actually win. It has SEL unlike the photo.

I was hoping cut down on watch purchases for the short-term. But when I see a good price, some combination of impulse, habit, and FOMO kick in and override my plans. Amazon Warehouse had this VSA Airboss 241507 with damaged packaging for $132. It's similar to one of my Hamilton's so I may move this one along after a short stay.

Great pickup! If you do decide to move it along, I would be interested.

Couldn't resist, plus I'm lacking a titanium piece in the collection so I got my bullet proof justification for another black diver intact.

Couldn't sleep well last night after I put in an offer of this mini grail of mine. Yema's third space watch from the Aragataz mission with the legendary 7A38 movement.
