Stan trying to a bit tricky for those who don't know the codes I guess.Prices look about the same. The only difference is the DEEP or BLUE codes are already applied and subtracted.
Got the same watch last week, same price minus $25 because they let me order a color that was out of stock and had to cancel and apologize.Last week paid $239.40 for the DAYNIGHT COMMANDER T-100 AUTOMATIC GREEN BEZEL - GREEN DIAL BRACELET, now 249 and got the DAYNIGHT DIVER PC TRITIUM AUTOMATIC WATCH STEALTH BEZEL - BLACK STEALTH DIAL BLUE/YELLOW TUBES PU BRACELET for $219.60, now 239. So not the lowest prices.
Like many Brooklyn based businesses, these sales practices are pretty “sketchy” - deceptive, even bordering on dishonesty. I sold retailers in NY for decades and know well about their “buy low, sell high“ pricing schemes only to mark "retails" down to a normal level and call it a “sale”. If you’re the type of consumer who follows pricing in the marketplace of whatever interests you, you’ll spot these so called SALE “sketches “ a mile away.Got the same watch last week, same price minus $25 because they let me order a color that was out of stock and had to cancel and apologize.
I see this tactic all the time and the retail industry does it as a normal practice. Retailers mark up prices so they can mark them down for a special sale or event. Or in this case call it a special sale, basically lie about prices knowing some shmo who knows no better will see "SALE!!!" and take the bait.
A number of years ago I caught SHOP in one of their Once Only pricing schemes. A watch I had previously bought was on OO again, (so much for OO, eh?) and the price was about $5 lower than my OO price. I confronted SHOP in an email, showed them my invoice/packing slip. They refunded me the difference.
Agreed. Even a not so observant buyer should be able to see that today's sales watch was cheaper a week ago. But maybe not.Like many Brooklyn based businesses, these sales practices are pretty “sketchy” - deceptive, even bordering on dishonesty.

With the internet so prevalent in our lives today, there are no secrets!
I’m disappointed with Deep Blue if this is their Black Friday promotion for this year .
Where is the pop? The sizzle? New stuff? (And of course REAL Sale Prices?)
Probably a good idea.not really giving tool acquisition a priority now JMHO
yeah i talk the NBZ talk SHOOTER...but the voices sing when they want to party... I never know I just follow "orders"Probably a good idea.
I'm still going to jump on the new Zelos if I get the chance though.
KNIGHTS IN WHITE LINEN...i fell in love " with the story " when I learned about 7001 PESSEUX hand crank used in NOMOS GLATSHUTTE...NOMOS much higher price point USCLASSIC fingered a NOMOS but he has an advanced degree FROM FLIPPER MCGEE WATCH UNIVERSITY ( he pays nothing...I buy...hold... keep...or gift )The NOVA is a very cool watch Scotty. You have a hand cranking beauty there. It's one of the few models I don't have. I think you have the linen dial, but I may be wrong. I like the brown myself and ET still has a few.
