It turns out that the Big 5 advertisement for May 2 also has a coupon

water-resistant, automatic, and has a stainless steel case" "Your
choice $59 after sale $295.00"


Considering that China has a 5-7000 years history to look back at, the
definition of "old world" can be accepted at face value (sic), leaving
to their imagination to select whether "new world" means Rumfield's
"old" Europe or the U.S.A. :-)
