New Year Sale - 20% off all watches!
Happy New Year!
(Edit - something went wrong sending this newsletter out, so I’m re-sending but this time just posting it to the main section - I will move it to the For Sale section in a few days time)
I’ve re-organized the Substack a little to make it easier to find watches available for purchase, and to kick off 2023, I thought - why not have a January Sale!
All watches previously offered for sale that are still available are now 20% off. The original posts for the watches have been moved to this section.
By default, newsletters added to this section will go out to all subscribers, but you can edit your subscription options if you want to opt-out of receiving sales newsletters going forward. Don’t worry though - there won’t be many of them!
I have also taken this opportunity to regrade some of the videos a little better than my first, rather amateur, attempts!
There are three different groups of watches - the $1,000 ones that I offered in celebration of reaching 1,000 subscriptions; the examples of the different dial types of the first Grand Seiko; and finally watches from earlier newsletters that are now so far down the archive you probably don’t even know they are there!
Were $1,000 each, now $800 each
These watches are now available for just $800 each (plus $100 worldwide fully insured courier shipping by FedEx). The watch will undergo a full service prior to shipping that will involve a complete movement teardown, cleaning, lubricating, rebuilding and regulation. Cases, dials, handsets will not be touched.
Further discounts are available for multiple purchases -
Buy any two from this section for $1,500 and pay shipping for just one (a 28% discount on the original price)
Buy any three from this section for $2,000 with free shipping included (for a total of a 40% discount!)

The 48k would be in your account this morning if I hadn’t bought a ton of moderns this year. Way underwater and starting to hate them
