You beat me to it - was just going to post this. A great value for anyone looking for a Swiss automatic.

ToM has HAWAIIAN LIFEGUARD ASSOCIATION DIVE WATCH for 99$ very good price I think. The yellow one looks lovely and the build quality is very good for 100 bucks.

Not super familiar with this one, but googling leads me to believe $699.99 is a good deal at ToM for this Longines Conquest VHP GMT quartz (L37284969). MSRP $1,350. I love the look of this watch.
https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/lon ... -l37284969
EDIT: This appears to be a kind of smart watch? It sounds cool. From Watchbase:
None of the VHP line have any smartwatch capabilities. The phone is used to set the time via light pulses from the phone's LED flashlight, the GMT version you posted is the only one in the line that has that feaure.
The VHP line is sold as a high-accuracy quartz watch, accurate to within +/- 5 sec per year due to it's temperature compensation. But I'd take claim that with a grain of salt, more than one owner on the WUS high-acccuracy quartz forum has gotten close but not the claimed accuracy. Same can be said about the HAQ movement in sister brand Certina with the Precidrives ( they claim 10 sec/yr). I have two Certinas with Precidrives, both from ADs, neither of them meet their claimed spec (they're more like +20 sec./yr).
There have also been a few posters on that same forum with problems with theit VHPs. I'd be wary of buying that watch without the Longines warranty.

The deal seems decent, but mostly posting this Baume because it looks so dang good. $1,499.99 from $3,450. Condition is "store display."

Does anyone know whether the straps on “ladies” watches like that 34mm Victorinox are typically shorter than a standards “men’s” strap. Asking for me.

36mm Japanese quartz,
$50 Invicta deal of the day:
https://invictastores.com/invicta-speci ... odel-29395
39.5mm
Swiss movement GMT,
$70 incl. free shipping. The image on this listing is messed up somehow. There is a rendering on
Invicta's product page here which resembles Jomashop's photo below. "Certified" compliant, lol. Jomashop says it's 42mm, but based on the 20mm lug width, I reckon it to be about 40mm (excluding the crown) based on the photo's proportions.

Jomashop here:

Comparing the two Jomashop listings above, the men's watch says the band length is 8.5" while the ladies' watch says 7.5". HTH

Just got a bunch of ebay offers on stuff I had watches on from officialwatchdeals, including $115 on this Citizen Brycen chrono:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/265166063978
(To be honest when I put the watch on this one, I thought it was the Promaster Diver Chrono. So it's not as good a deal as I thought. But still reasonable).
And then several Alpina Seastrong quartz watches for $139 that have buy it now prices of $185 (example):

I just noticed that Alpina is the "smart" version.

I like those Alpina Seastrongs--but, alas, they're the smartwatches collection.

I realize that after I initially posted. Anything overly wrong with that? It's a quartz. I'd see it like some of my G-Shocks with bluetooth. Something you could use or not. In the end, it's still a quartz watch.
Honestly don't know anything about those, but they do look nice.
