Hope all of you are enjoying your Sunday.

Watch Once Onlys scheduled for tonight and tomorrow.

At this time it looks like the Scuba with dive case will be reappearing as a Once Only again. So that price won't go only lower than what they sold it for.

I also see Renato pieces and the JT Lady Zeus scheduled. I would skip the Renatos and go for the Zeus if you can.

Java: I'll have to recheck the line up. Thanks. Didn't see any of that good stuff when I looked yesterday.

You know, there was a subtle change in the wording to Watch Celebrating featuring Once Onlys

After tonight, you may see price changes, they might not be Once Only.

Oh....before I forget:

This week jomashop has flash sales on Movado and Fortis watches. If you are looking for the classic Museum Watch ( and some people love those), they are offered at $219. I haven't seen prices like those on the Museum Watch in a long time. A caveat to those with large wrists: you will need to purchase another strap, because they are rather short on that watch. Anyone with larger than a 6.5 inch wrist would have to get a larger strap. Plus, you might want to anyway, because the straps on those aren't great to begin with.

Last Friday, I was at my Dr.'s office's imaging place for an MRI & I was wearing my purple Android Star Halo. As the tech was showing me to the changing room to change into a gown, she noticed my watch with the halo twirling around & was saying how cool she thought it was. Then, as I was coming out of the changing room in my gown to head to the MRI room, she & the other female MRI tech were standing there waiting for me & the 1st one said "You have to show her your watch, I told her about it & she wants to see it, too!" So, I had to unlock the door to the changing room (they give you a key & you leave all metal items in there while doing the MRI) & show her the watch & she was having fun making the thing spin around inside it before they took me back for my test. I thought it was kind of funny! I guess that watch is more eye catching than I thought it was, as I had totally forgotten I was wearing it!

Aub, such fun when others love your watch. Good luck with the MRI also. Maybe I should still own a purple Halo. )

Jena, if the price was right & I wanted a particular color combo, I might consider another one! It's not like I can feel or hear it spinning, so it doesn't bother me. It's a fun watch! I almost can't make it spin if I try, but it does so with normal movements.

The MRI is sort of a routine thing, though I haven't had one since 2011. Back in about 2004, when i still lived up in WA, a neurologist ordered an MRI of my head & neck for another reason & the radiologists found a mass about the size of 2 peas that they think is a cavernous hemangioma sitting smack on the optic nerve behind my right eye. It's never bothered me & they said it may have been there since birth, but they wanted to get an MRI annually to watch it. It's never shown any growth in all these years, so it's probably just a benign thing, but they still want to keep an eye on it (pun intended!) My doc should get the MRI results tomorrow they said.

aubnwa: glad you are ok. I saw the Android halo spinner on sale on the Android web site this weekend. I think it was down to $139, which was much lower than they had it originally, but higher than the price we paid. There will be some Android shows coming up on Shop soon, so they might also reduce the price on shop (but it won't be as low as the original once only price). You might be able to pick up another color at a good price.

Java: Kendy was teasing the Lady Zeus last night, but she didn't say anything about a good price, just that the watch would be featured in the 9pm E show.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

jenagal — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:09:17 GMT

LJ, The Star Halo $139??? Shop has it for $108. It was less than $100 before, right? #626-834.

That is why I sad this. I went back noticed the change.

Nothing great about the price. Still very expensive.

Regarding the Halo, bet if they had kept it as a TTV, you might seen a slightly better price on that one. There was only a 20 dollar difference. Shop had the better price.

Hi ladies Happy June to all - we went to a wedding yesterday in New Jersey the traffic was horrendous and I couldn't find my EZ Pass, my mission this weekend is to locate that darn thing because the EZ Pass lanes were moving like nobody's business!

I rocked my Pro Diver with the bling at the 12/6 o'clock numbers and hubby wore one of his Pro Diver's but couldn't get it to work until we got back home not sure what happened but we thought it was broke or something.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

Lavenderjunkie — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:31:23 GMT

Jena: StarHalo was $89 when the first offered it. I think it was a once only. Then the price went up to over $200, if I remember correctly. They must have marked it back down for the upcoming shows. You're right $109 is much better than $139.

Keep your eye on the price of the Scuba too. It's being featured in many of the shows tonight. The price should come down a lot. Comes with 8 slot box. Scuba was $129 when they introduced it a few weeks ago as a special. Don't remember if it was a once only or not.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

JavaQueen — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 19:06:01 GMT

Scuba was a Once Only...sad, it won't go lower. The same for the Halo, which was intended to be a Top Value.

The Starhalo was only 108 to begin with. They booted it from being a TTV for Michael V's piece. Somehow they would have done more than 20 off if it been a TTV. Maybe, maybe not.

Shop has gotten really crazy with their pricing.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

aubnwa01 — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:21:14 GMT

I just checked & I paid $89.41 for the purple Halo. I thought it was that day's TTV, but I might be wrong about that.

Looked at the results of my MRI in my online health records & my orbital mass has decreased in size from 8mm to 5-6mm since the last MRI, so I'm good! I'll likely get a phone call from my Dr.'s office later, since the info had been posted to my online records by the radiologist that read the MRI at the imaging place.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

Lavenderjunkie — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:45:39 GMT

aubnwa: great news, re the MRI. Are you going to buy another Halo to celebrate?

BTW: someone posted a coupon for shop for 10% off, code EMAIL. I don't know if it will work or if it has even expired. But it's worth a try if you are buying something.

Java: looks like the Lady Zeus is back down to $735. No temptation there.

Re: Watch Collectors... June 2014

aubnwa01 — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:58:51 GMT

LJ, nope, no more Halos for me right now.

My AC decided to break over the weekend & they can't get out here until maybe tomorrow on a standby appt. to fix it, so I'm kind of in a cranky mood, since it's forecast to get to 109° here today. It was installed in 2011 & I have a 10 year parts & labor warranty, so I'm not too worried about the $$$, but my fluffy cat & I are getting whiny! I've been sleeping out on the couch in my great room for last 2 nights, since it's a tad cooler out there & I have every ceiling & portable fan that I have going.

The ironic thing is that I had an appt. for next Monday for my routine annual maintenance on the AC.
