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.

There's this, which was shipped via Russian Post and will therefore arrive somewhere between two weeks from now and the heat death of the universe:

And then there's this, which is being shipped via DHL and should be here next week sometime:

Having the bezel on the second one swapped for this by Meranom:

Tap. Talk. Buy another watch. Repeat as needed.

I managed to go over 3 months without a watch purchase, yet somehow have now ordered 2 quartz watches in the same week :shock: I am weak :oops:

I have this alpina coming thanks to an awesome member on this forum who is forwarding it to me, and also johnP for listing the deal as I was about to buy one off eBay for more.

And then this Oceanus t200 because it's just a damn nice watch and I got a great deal

At 38mm, it was pretty hard not to order one. Only problem was deciding between the white or black dial; hopefully I don't end up with both :shock:

Order placed with the tan strap.

After selling my modded 5610 I realized I no longer had a solar atomic watch.

I feel like this is a classic that should be in the collection (7S and all). Thanks to a deal from [mention]denormalize[/mention], it now will be.

Pretty happy to find this and at a really good price. This seems like a much better value than the SARG011 I have been hunting.

Hopefully. Macy's shows it as "unavailable" right after I placed the order. :shock:

I still have a Junghans digital coming from Serbia. Has only been a month and a half, so I am not worried yet.

Last night I impulse purchased a used Citizen Nighthawk off of eBay.

Was this the one on reddit? Would love to know how you like it once you get a chance to wear it a bit.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

That's the one; really surprised it was still available when I found it.

So far im liking it a lot. Wore it for two days straight if that tells you anything (I rarely do that 😅).

Pros:
The leather strap that came with it is very comfortable
They also include curved spring bars for straps
Weight
Legibility
Lume
4hz
Good Date placement
5-position adjustment

Cons:
At times dial appears dark blue, i suspect due to the AR coatings in the inside. This is really for others as I dont have a problem with it.
Wears a little big
Your S.O. might ask you to dim your watch when you go to bed, but you can't
