Appliance Brad, I noticed it too. A LOT of Luxury and Microbrand watch manufacturers have been quietly (or not so quietly) raising the price of their watches.

Seiko went up quite a bit recently on replacement movements. The Seiko modders on social media have been very vocal about the price hike. The extremely popular NH35, NH36 & NH70 movements have all seen a 50% or higher increase from 2025-2026!

I think on Seiko’s part it is bold and aggressive. They no longer seem interested in supplying movements to the MANY microbrands that use their popular NH movement in its various configurations.

Stick, I really like that Longines. I am on the hunt for a watch with red in it, leaning towards a white/silver face with red bezel


My Helm Khuraburi came in, definitely liking it. It's a chunker

It came with a Nato and the ss bracelet, nice touch on the bracelet with screws instead of pins
