404 Club Reboot  

13 members have voted

  1. 1. Due to inflation our 404 club price cap seems a little unworkable, so here are some options to re-boot ihe idea - first three are what common currency to choose (pic 1 out of 3) the rest 4-10 are the price cap (pick 1 out of the 7 options)

    • Do you think the price cap should be in equivalent US $ value?
      0
    • Do you think the price cap should be in equivalent £ value?
      7
    • Do you think the price cap should be in equivalent € value?
      0
    • How about a price cap of 8.08 (twice 4.04)?
      0
    • How about a price cap of 10.10 (to represent the hand position of pictures of watches 10:10)?
      5
    • How about a price cap of 6.99 (approximte value of 4.04 corrected for inflation)?
      4
    • How about a price cap of 6.91 (the first example of an irregular prime 691 - and lets face it we are all pretty irregular)?
      2
    • How about a price cap of 8.90 (12th number in the Fibonacci Sequence 89)?
      1
    • How about a price cap of 14.40 (13th number in the Fibonacci Sequence 144)?
      0
    • How about a price cap of 9.11 (emergency number in many countries)?

I'm not saying for a second that the truly "cheap" watches aren't worthwhile (I have plenty of them too). Hopefully that's not what was conveyed. I just don't want to make it the primary focus any more than making finding a Rolex for $5 the primary focus. Anything anyone finds under the threshold they feel is worth the cup of coffee cost of entry is worth it in my book. I want the name to convey that, and not just "cheap" as that leaves out a big chunk of the fun of it. Cheap, yes, also diamonds in the rough, once in a lifetime finds, watches to learn on, and probably some other angle I'm missing.

Something like "I skipped a trip to Starbucks for this!" (which sounds way too much like a clickbait listicle title) that doesn't make any judgements on the watches themselves, simply notes the price paid was low.

I get ya 👍, not a poundshop window sign that says "  cheap bargains galore " more of a " value for money treasures" moniker

ha ha who knew that the name would be the toughest part

Wife and I have a baby due in 3 weeks. Still haven't figured out a name... It's maddening. Possibly actually the toughest part so far.

Maybe this has been discussed, but why not both. Keep the 404 thread going as is and start the 10.10£ club in a brand new thread! Problem solved for the purists loyal to the 404 and a new cool thread as well! 🙂
