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 found an eBay watch with the stickers still on it in my town at a price I can’t refuse. I’ll have to flip something…….but I don’t see these discontinued MM300 going down in price from what I paid.

I’m not bashful about my love of strange watches, both mechanically and artistically. Many years ago I was a bit embarrassed by reactions people gave me about my preferences, but eventually I just learned that generally the average watch fan likes rather boring watches in my opinion. It is what it is. Now I embrace it and try to support people who think outside the box and develop something new. It’s really the most exciting part of watch collecting and appreciating for me.

I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one. I wish I could afford more than one color!

That’s a beauty! Was there a deal somewhere, or did you find a one-off?

It was the only one of this model left at the sale at https://www.ssense.com/en-gb/men?q=Ole%20mathesen

They had mislabelled the black royal marine as auto and I think it’s a quartz….

Interesting. There seem to be a few on ebay as well. Hopefully you got the auto and not quartz.
