SNIPES has a few G-Shocks on sale + surrender your email for another 10% OFF + 1.05% TopCash (normally no-care, but the .05 put me over the top).

It appears there are steeper discounts over at Domestic Domestic: https://www.domesticdomestic.com/collec ... ndor=TIMEX

36mm, 20mm lug width, 100m WR and an unusual feature set, $60 + S&H. Mfg. product page here. Miyota says it's a moon phase -- ShopHQ calls it a day/night indicator. Three colorways available.

The movement is a Miyota 6P80, which actually does have these apparent features.

$26,649.99 might be the lowest this watch has ever been. Ashford has it for $40k with their pop-up discount. 48.5mm ruins it for most people.

Awesome watch, but yes, 48.5mm totally scotches it for me -- bummer.

40mm small seconds from Jack Mason, 100m WR, sapphire crystal, $145:

UPDATE: The Ellum models have come down to $124.50 in four colorways on Jack Mason's site with free shipping (US).

No hands-on experience with that model, but my JM Pursuit is a nice 42mm, mid-tier quartz aviator-style watch. They also have two gold-tone versions of the Pursuit three-hander discounted to $109 (normally $229). The 22mm straps are quite nice too:

Totally not sure if this is targeted. CW time normally has good pricing. 14% OFF should make it better…….just sayin’

What have we learned? Never buy a new Seiko release unless it's a limited edition under 1000. They'll be discounted soon enough.

Amazon has several different Seiko 5s under $200. I like this one for $174. Click on the other variations to see prices.

They keep having them on sale for $999, but they don't seem to be selling. They're definitely worth that.

The GMT for $650 (if the coupon works) might be a better deal with the tritium numbers.

What if you just like the watch and want to own it?

What if every second of your life isn't spent maximizing resale and just enjoying a hobby?

This is an interesting commentary and one that could be explored. However, this isn't the place for it.

If you two would like to continue to discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of flipping/profiteering vs. collecting, and when it's good/not good to buy something, please take it to private messages.

And now, a deal:
