The strap was a recent birthday gift.
Very pretty. It says red on their website. Is that like a blood red or maroon?
Nice. I really like this watch. I have been very close to buying one in blue a few times now, but haven't pulled the trigger.
Very nice
Where's the strap from?

It's pretty close to maroon.
So gotta say, I love all my watches but one that I really have tried to like but to no avail is my SLGA015. I'm a big grand seiko fan, but this one is super expensive and has very little wow factor on the wrist. The Zaratsu polishing of the titanium is amazing, but it's only on the bevels of the lugs, and the rest of the watch is very dull.
The "wave" dial looks beautiful on the marketing photos, but is almost impossible to see in person. You have to have the watch tilted under direct light to actually pick up the details.
The 5 day power reserve is awesome, but let's be honest, it's a gussied up quartz watch so it isn't that crazy.
I enjoyed the sbga229 and 231 which are very similar, they weren't quite sub-killers they were made out to be but they were fantastic watches at $4-5k.
At $12k this thing doesn't really feel any better than those earlier models.
I'm going to keep this one because the resale is practically non existent, I've been tracking some poor dude trying to sell his for $10, then 9, now 8, I think this one sells for around $6.
Oh well, win some and lose some

I don't think I posted this one yet. I got this at the "Watches of Switzerland" right outside the BA lounge in Heathrow. I believe someone posted it on this thread before and I liked it. It was very cheap with the devaluation of the pound against the dollar, so I got it for around $4k duty free.
It really like the grey strap with the red "Luna rossa" stripe down it.

Too cheap
I'm not a sub guy but I like this one. Don't like it for $12k though.
Hey you Christopher Ward fans, you can get a screaming deal on their watches right now due to the GBP/USD conversion rates. I just ordered the new C60 Trident Pro 300, regularly $1,050 (850 GBP), for a little over $700 to my door.
First, change the currency at the bottom of the page to GBP, then use code "100loupe26", which gives you a 100 GBP discount. When you checkout with a US address, it also removes the VAT required in the UK.

Wow, thats a great deal
Yeah. I've been wanting this watch for a while (even posted about it on here), so once I saw the deal I couldn't pass it up.
It's up to GBP 850 now. Looks like they caught the loophole and closed it.
850 is the usual price. Try adding to cart and then applying the coupon code. I just did it 30 minutes ago, and people have been doing it since they were released in August apparently.
Correct. Once it is added, the price adjusts. I'm eyeing the C65 Chronograph on there after seeing this.AgEng06 said:

This one. It wears darker than it looks on the website.
Empty the cart. Clear your cookies. Go to the website again and change the currency on the homepage maybe?
Yeah, try this. Also get to the point in the checkout when you enter a US address. That should remove the VAT.
Honestly I tried this a few days ago and only got it down to 750... then I tried again today and it came up as 708.33 before taking the 100 off. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't pass it up.

Which C65 Chrono model are you looking at?
nm, I was thinking there were different color combos. I see it's just strap options.

I almost wonder if brands have an algorithm that varies costs slightly to measure to which degree price impacts their sales.AgEng06 said:

I had the same thing happen with the ice blue breitling I posted about a while back on this thread. I logged on and it was $12,000. I logged back on and it was 10,000; so I bought the watch and it showed up; next time I logged on it was $12,000 again. Now it's back to $10k.
That's possible. I also signed up for their newsletter and to receive their paper magazine in the meantime, so maybe the cookies in my browser linked to my email and I got some kind of deal? I don't know exactly.

This one. Maybe in few months. Have enough expenses coming up and about to cut a check to fund my SEP for 2022.
one thing I HATE is when a brand as reputable as Zenith makes a knock-off. You don't need to do that, your stuff is good as it is. With the chronomaster they copied the Daytona and now with the skyline or whatever it's called they're copying the RO.
Obviously there will be lots of similarities between watches in the same class, but there is very very nearly extremely close to an AP.

I'm heading to Austria, the Czech Republic, and Denmark around Thanksgiving. Assuming USD is still strong relative to European currencies, what are my best options to pick something cool up? I'm interested in a Speedy and a Rolex Milgauss. I could probably make my way to Switzerland if need be but currently isn't the plan. Is availability actually better over there?

Where do you change to GBP?
