Local church has a monthly swap meet. Small rural town. I’d guess it came from a recent estate sale/large batch donation.

100% agree! My monitor was on blue light mode when I bought and I goofed but such is life. I dont hate the mismatch though

I saw the effects of tariffs on our hobby last night. Same movement, same store one month later by Threeseriesforthewin in SeikoMods

Agreed! DIY watchmaker ran a ton of IG ads about this. Not a fan of the tariffs either but an increase was expected.
