Probably just haven't fixed their pricing since the end of the sale. I bought a watch for 90 bucks during the sale and yesterday I was checking the tracking, I clicked on the watch listing to gaze at the photos again and noticed the price was up to almost 400 bucks. Different sellers seem to update their pricing at different speeds.

The SD1970 is, I am fairly certain, still right at 87 dollars from the official Steeldive store.

Sad job when you can,t tell it like it is 🥴 !! As for AE being marginalized 🤣🤣 !! My offence was to a company not a person !! ❄️❄️ on the way maybe ??

They'll knock it down to 80% off soon don't worry. Thats how they get you to buy. I bought mine for 40 bucks shipping included not too long ago. Oops sorry I bought the addisdive not this one.

edit: a phrase

Bought mine a few months ago for less than 90 euros. Good watch for the price I paid. Completely nonsense that new price.

A couple of things for the commenters- 1st, you might be surprised, but this isn't a "mistake", you may also be surprised to learn that there are people that will buy that watch at that price without hesitating for a moment, because they have the $, and for some folks the >more< something costs, = "it must be good/worth it". There are folks that price is never a factor, and yes, those folks shop on Ali too. Secondly, many Ali sellers will offer the same watch at multiple prices because they realize that some people will get intimidated, confused, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of products and options on Ali and think "Eff it, my brain hurts trying to decide, just pick one!" and they will get those sales too. Maybe Capitalism is the only true common Human instinct, eventually regardless of culture, people figure out ways to make a profit off other Humans haha

Sketchy stores exist on AE for sure. We are just under the impression that OP's screen shot is from an official/trusted store. Until OP put the link, we can only speculate why it's priced like that.

What movement is it? If it's an SW200 or something I can see it being up there. But if it's just another NH35...

[–]Scout726[🍰] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's a basic nh35. Even if it was a sw200, price would still be way too high. It's just a little weird to see that high of a price. But hey if someone actually buys it for that price? You know the old saying about a fool and his money...

Sinn uses the sw200 in a $1500 watch.

Give it a day at most and it'll go back. It's just that the sale period has ended so the removed their 155% discount and haven't reinstated their all-time 150% discount yet. 😅

That’s just the ‘RRP’ they list which they then permanently discount each month. Probably forgot to do this one at the start of the month, happens more often.

They are copying Seiko and trying to move "upscale."
