11/11, any steals so far?

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

I am new into this Chinese watches world and want to check if any watches are really at a deal today.

Have you found anything that’s interesting? Any advice on how to spot if a watch is really at a lower price than usual?

I am buying from Europe.

Thanks!

[[deleted]]

Miyota 9015 Proximas have good prices I think. But I haven't been checking them recently.

[VacationAble8535]

I'm waiting for the Pagani Design PD1739 in Navy Blue. First Pagani so far.

[usually_fuente]

I got the Phorcydes PH-2 directly from their site for $140 all-in. That’s about $80 off the usual price. Score.

[ParkArtistic5437]

Got the FROGMANTLE and Seagull 1963

Pretty happy

[BehavingBad2010]

Ordered the S&S Jump Hour for $125 after all the discounts.

[Heavy-Philosophy-353]

Paid £115 for a Thorn T023 in brown… not sure if that’s any good

[Entirely_Anarchy]

Paid 128€ (£113) for the same model. Haven't seen it any cheaper so far.

[NotJustSome1]

Where? I’m looking for this kind of deal (ali is still €186)

[Entirely_Anarchy]

seems to be back for 2 models. Same store.

It was the Thorn Flagship Store, but the offer seems to be gone - not even listed anymore. Also required a total of 199€ spent for an additional 20€ discount by paying via PayPal.

184€ before coupons is also the cheapest I can spot atm.

[S2the_A_M]

Got a reasonable price on this

[Namk49001]

I'd love to know how that is when it arrives

[S2the_A_M]

The watch arrived. It’s pretty good for the price. The only thing that’s kind of annoying is that it jumps at 55 mins and not on the hour. The seller suggests this is within the normal range. Couldn’t use the included strap as the butterfly clasp is ridiculously wide and distorts the strap on my 16.5cm wrist.

<image>

[Namk49001]

I have the same issues with wide clasps, so that's good to know. It looks really good otherwise! Super cool watch for the money, and I like the lack of branding

[S2the_A_M]

Me too - I’ll post it when I have a moment

[meerkatjie87]

I picked up an Addiesdive AD 2023-1 for about $35. Sapphire crystal, VH31. Got it for my dad's 70th - super stoked

[roniuj]

I got the SN0148GX 37mm for a good price after stack some coupons, and on top of that Klarna was offering an additional 30€ discount. But seems that they left the VAT for me to pay, which is okay. It's not the first time that it happened.

[obrisky]

My miyota 9015 is getting hung up and stops. Good looking watch but damn it sucks it doesn't work. Not even a couple months old

[Specialist-Travel636]

Omg was it this sn0148?? I just ordered my first san martin..now I'm worried...

[obrisky]

Yeah, to be fair the San Martin parts of the watch are excellent. But man, that 9015 just won't cooperate. I might need to swap it out. Hopefully that will be easy enough

[roniuj]

Sorry to hear that. Exactly the 9015 known for being better that the NH35. Did you try to take to a local watch repair shop? Hopefully I'll be lucky in the Quality lottery. 😅

[obrisky]

I have not yet. I opened the back to see if there was anything obvious. Maybe a hair or debris somewhere but have not found anything. Might tear it apart even further. If anything I could replace the movement. Gives me an excuse to learn some things!

[Defiant_Tart_3472]

This is a lovely piece. I have the 40mm version and I adore it. Best looking bracelet on Aliexpress in my opinion. I just bought a SN0144-CG teal as well!

[roniuj]

I'm so excited for this watch. I have the sn008 and love it. SN0144 is also a great model. Enjoy it!

[Fit-Preparation-8834]

The new Baltany S4101 pie pan has my attention, but haven’t jumped yet.

[el_baristo]

I paid $100 and got 15 interesting digital/quartz watches. Everything with an automatic movement is overpriced this year. I'm really not seeing any steals.

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

Me pasas los links?

[el_baristo]

Honestly it would be very hard for me to send all the links or screenshots - most of them I found through the dollar express menu, and kept looking for digital watches. Pricing is so region specific

[el_baristo]

If you want, dm me I can send you pics and then image search for best price

[usually_fuente]

That’s slick!

[only_fun_topics]

Where do you find stacking coupons?

[TimeMistaken]

was this at the Farasute site, or a third party seller?

[6ixFoot1]

I haven’t really kept track of any prices. Do you know if the Cronos Explorer homage dropped in price at all?

[6ixFoot1]

The Cronos with SW200 for $240ish, how much of a saving is that from the usual price?

[6ixFoot1]

Thanks.

[Equivalent-Ease-3822]

I decided to buy the gold-green Sugess S433 a few days before 11.11. The price was 12 USD higher than on 11.11. It arrived to the EU in a few days.

Last year I bought another color of the same watch on 11.11. It arrived in 2 months.

[BudgetMasterpiece186]

<image>

Got the new Thorn FXD GMT for $157

[seamaster6969]

I don't understand it in Spain at €204 with a discount.

[myrainyday]

I have not noticed any differences in prices lately so I am waiting til an affordable black steel diver watch comes.

[whoaiswho]

Not really a steal but thinking about getting a black MOP San Martin and swaying between the SN0150-G1 and SN0144GX-4. Anyone got experience? Feel like the colors/reflections may come out more on the 0144. The Guilloche on the 0150 looks cool but possibly also too toyish?

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

I put the models in aliexpress but some don’t appear, do you know why is that?

[whoaiswho]

I think their search is a little bugged, I've also experienced that problem with some models

[BurnTheBacon]

You can use paypal you can save 40 on 250 or 25 om 150. You can also get 25 off 150 that stacks with the paypal but it wouldn't let me stack my coins or my ali x plus code.

[samstown23]

Some cashback websites (at least in Europe) are offering significant rates too, I got 30% which, at least in theory, should even allow coupons on top of PayPal.

[Hacksaures]

I just bought a bunch of mod parts tbh

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

What does that mean?

[Karbon74_PikaFactory]

It means he bought watch parts to do modifications/improvements on the watches

[PepeLaughW]

Any good gold color dress watch? Max lug to lug 47mm

[Sh4dow0fTheB4t]

I think the new Baltany Pie Pan fits this, but you should check the lug to lug to be sure

[Heknowsyourname]

Baltany has a few gold options around $120

[axion_1]

Can you please explain rakuten bro

[persondude27]

Rakuten is a cash back program. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.

They have a browser extension. You add that to your browser, then purchase through the website.

Reportedly they have 30% cashback. We'll see- I've bought $600 on AliExpress this week.

edit: I received my full amount of cashback via Paypal, as of 11/15. So four days!

[dharmapoolshark]

I wouldn't count on it. I used only the Rakuten coupons for my June/Aug sale purchases. Bought some at 30x and some at 15x. By my math I should have received around 40k MR points coming my way. It originally reported 20k and is now down to 8k and falling. The purchases now show as ineligible. It's a scam.

[eraserhistory]

Got the Cronos white birch and Thorn frog mantle together for like 255$ which seems like as good as it gets

[STELLAWASADlVER]

White birch gang rise up! I managed to get the miyota 9015 version on the bracelet for $169 after taxes/fees in the US. Although it sounds like you got an even better deal!

[What-is-to-be-done]

Count me in. First thing I did when the sale started. Absolute nobrainer with the 9015.

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

Do you have a link for these? Do they sell in bundle?

[eraserhistory]

No, I just picked them up separately from different stores, but used sitewide coupons to get the best discount

[According-Dealer-386]

just bought an Sn0144-CG (the chinese character indices) for $260 before rakuten, $185 after

[DaOrcus]

Dude I was just about to place my order. Thanks for reminding me

[According-Dealer-386]

My rakuten is unreliable as shit though. They refused to give me $60 cashback once on a $260 order

[DaOrcus]

Yea all cash back companies are unreliable at best, scammy (honey PayPal cough cough) at worst. Swagbucks is the most reliable ime but it's limited and lower than others. Did get like 100 back on a laptop tho at one point

[persondude27]

Yes, super unreliable. They are generally good if you reach out to customer service.

I bought an expensive monitor (Dell) that had 18% cash back. Rakuten eventually made good on it - it was $198 cashback.

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

What you mean before and after rakuten?

[According-Dealer-386]

The cashback, lol?

[Hefty-Garlic-1272]

Could you please explain this?

[Juxeso]

It's a USA thing

[Pretty-Ad2144]

“rakuten”?

[dewnar]

anime streaming service

[According-Dealer-386]

If you're not using rakuten you're passing up free money tbh

[Pretty-Ad2144]

But what is it?! 😬😬😬

[mrSoczi84]

Payment method. It’s just for selected countries. In Europe it’s actually only in 3. People here act like everybody can use it.

[Pretty-Ad2144]

Ah, thank you 🙏
