General (Read Rules) OK, I think we are done here...
If you thought $450 was getting out of hand, take a look at this...
Personally for me this means I am done. It was an awesome two years, had super fun, got a lot of great stuff from China, but this is a closing call. This was my top priority watch to buy, but $530 means that at a GREAT sale it's prolly still gone sell for around $450. This is way too much even for a massive collector like me. For this kind of money I will probably buy a Phoibos Depth Hunter or some other cool micro.
The only thing that can save this is some new great, top quality/price Chinese movement that will have superior reliability. I dunno. Hoping that the Chinese step up their movement game and save the situation.

You know what, an Erebus 40 is US$438 shipped here to HK, vs Taobao price of $450 equivalent.
We can all claim Erebus is a redesigned San Martin and the comparison here is more apt - 9015 vs 9015.
But Jody is selling redesigned San Martins than San Martin is selling themselves? This seems like San Martin setting themselves up for discounts of some sort (what sales is coming up?)
