They increased the prices again. Timex/Waterbury is $120 now.

Kinda wished I grabbed that at $69, not a bad beater.

I wonder if the books will keep getting cheaper...flightmaster only is on sale for $52 right now, marked down after I bought it for $95 😵‍💫
Somehow I am glad that I didn`t bought it two weeks ago. Just ordered it, together with two of the titanium pens... 50$ shipping costs to Germany but still a good deal after all. Thank you for the hint 🙏

Another flash sale, the Timex watch is now $59 versus $69 last week… Allegedly two that I purchased are out for delivery today so there's that.
Most everything else is already "sold ", not much of a "flash sale".

There are a couple books I really want to snag if they come down a little more... Gonna press my luck and wait. A book on the history of the Polerouter would be awesome... But not for $162.

not bad for $60 tho a little more substantial than I prefer.
Well, because of these photos I just bought one and a copy of Flightmaster Only.

So much for resisting the sale 🤦 😁

The Polerouter book has been on my list for a while, I admit, but have been too cheap to buy it 😬 knowing full well it’s worth the original ask. I’ve just had good luck with picking up a number of books on my list at pretty good deals. Like you, I’m gonna hold out for another flash sale hoping they are a bit more desperate to clear house 😁 but I know full well it’s already on a sizable discount… $162 compared to:

There is an office furniture store in a strip mall nearby that has been CLOSING-EVERYTHING MUST GO- LAST CHANCE- for the last 25 years.
Yeah here in Oz it's always Rug shops having the "Urgent, last chance, panic, never to be repeated, everything 50% off, closing down sale" that seems to last 30+yrs

Well they have a "flash sale" going on now and I picked up several of the timex Waterbury editions for gifts...palatable at $69 not so much at $279 (which is what I think the msrp originally was a few yrs ago)...
Subdued Hodinkee branding, maybe kinda some Explorer-ish vibes, no date window, nice leather strap. 40mm is a bit big but manageable.
Its down to 54 now

Well if they had not messed up my last strap purchase I guess I would try the books but being abroad I don’t trust them anymore with customs and delivery… sad as - as everyone - I have nothing against a good deal.

Do you need a US address that can forward them to you?

not a huge deal most of the time but the rotor on this miyota is quite audible.

That's one of the main complaints I've read about it, the sound the rotor makes. Some people are fixated on the ghost date thing too.

For $54, it's a cool piece. I was going to buy one yesterday but forgot about it. Let's see if they do another flash sale.

Thanks! I just ordered a copy too.
I thought about it because it's now $52 + 15 shipping
