Buy a watch, help save the world? #15 (Seiko SARX055 Baby Snowflake)
Friends!
It's a new year, which means yet another chance to blow the entirety of your annual watch budget within the first month of the year!
Up for charity auction today is the Seiko SARX055 Baby Snowflake!
All proceeds go to GiveDirectly.org. GiveDirectly.org DIRECTLY sends on funds to recipients in some of the poorest countries on Earth, with an incredible track record to-date.
The effort sprang out of the Effective Altruism movement.

The first 14 auctions worked out spectacularly, in which our esteemed colleagues @Bessio @Robcollects @Ichibunz @Deeperblue @Edge168n @Jklotz @CliveC @laurik @tempus @Al_Ra_Ra @TimeJunkie @tuanvinh2000 @UtahExplorer @whitesalmon @biglove have helped to raise $20,282 for Kenyan families living under the global poverty line of $1.90 / day. All of the auction proceeds went directly to them, and the funds from the 14 auctions thus far will effectively double the incomes of 56 families for a year!
Previous auction:
Here's what I propose:
- Let's open up bidding at, say, $20
- Please post your bid by commenting below
- The highest bid by Friday, January 20, 12pm PT wins the auction
- Here’s where we do some real good for charity: If you are the winning bidder, please then Paypal or Venmo me the winning bid amount. I will make the donation of your winning bid, plus get a match for that amount! Thus, every $1 of the winning bid will get doubled!!!
- Let me say that again - every $1 of the winning bid will turn into $2 donated to GiveDirectly!!!
- I will then post the screen shot of the full donated amount!
So, in summary:
- Win the auction
- Have the entirety of the proceeds go towards lifting a family out of extreme poverty
- DOUBLE the size of your charitable contribution
Whaddya say?

I already own this watch. It's one of my favorites.
Is there any reason to own two of the same watch? I do, after all, have two arms.

You need a backup. If it's one of your favorites, how would you feel if something happened to yours???

This watch is also on my list. I am still saving up for it, so whoever gets it gets one heck of a watch!
Are you bidding? Or just hoping someone bids that amount? Ha!
I've done my job driving up the price. Others should take the prize today 😉

Leader of the pack!
Bump! From the Land-O-Ducks.. Quack Quack!
PLUG 🔌 !!!
At $700 USD this watch is a steal of a deal. All the C24 examples cost more and or are unknown quantities. This one is being sold by a pillar of our community, for charity!!! - HWC is totally reliable and I’d trust more than an AD
ITS Ti!!!! You will never want to take it off!
6R15D - f’ing awesome and reliable 28k bph movement!!
Heat blued second hand and that big money looking dial. Bracelet even looks GS. this watch is the bomb. I’m currently under water at the moment (sbga413) …but normal me would totally bid higher on this!!
You’d like a GS? Buy this!
MOAR BIDS!
