• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Mitutoyo Vernier Caliper - Amazon

This link shows a different dial & 'discontinued'.

But it does show up in Mitutoyo catalog. Sometimes faces are interchangeable on same body, so that could be it

says Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca ... which usually makes me skeptical, especially using stock photos
But when you click on Brand (Mitutoyo) it does appear to show a bunch of comparable Mit products & prices.
Amazon often drops prices to clear out stock on items that they only have 1 or 2 left or are discontinuing. I've scored some pretty solid deals playing the game with them, incluing on Mitutoyo stuff.
 
Went down to $54.61, so I snagged it for the fun of it, it's back up to $170 now. Don't own a metric dial indicator, so might come in handy and for the price why not?

In comparison, here's my imperial dial indicator that I bought from KBC a couple months ago:

Identical packaging, labeling, everything in good order, certificates of inspection, the works.
