    Casio G-shock

    Sir shark, i hope its still not late to say congratz to your new GIEZ :thumbsupsmiley: Techie Tough

    Thanks sir tom! Today's actually the first day I wore it outside.It took me a while to find an affordable Casio that was still made in the land of the rising sun. I feel that a proper Japanese brand should naturally be made in Japan. Also, if I were to buy a quartz timepieceit should at least be solar powered. I got more than I expected from the Giez GS1100. Good thing the guy(ebay merchant), accepted bidpay and agreed to ship the watch here sa Pinas, right to my doorstep! And this time I wasn't charged

    an impossible fee for the taxes. Unlike my previous experience.

    I saw a similar model at the mall, a few days ago, Casio Giez GS1001 selling for 10,995 pesos, but to my dismay, it was "Japan mov't-cased in Thailand", and not solar powered. I was almost tempted by the 18mos 0% interest payment scheme.

    Good thing I was able to control my urge to get it right away. I envy you 'coz you are right there where you

    can buy Japan domestic pieces be it Casio or our favorite Seiko.

    i actully bought the Mr. G for more than 10k, its practical for everyday use, but thinking of the 10K plus, i could have bought 2 seikos.

     

    hehe, right you are sir, you could have gotten 2 seikos for that. i've seen mr.g's go for 400 to 500++ U$.

    nice watch shark, i still have a G shock with me, i think i bought it 7 years ago, changed the battery just once, its called Mr. G, all metal with a rubber protector at the back. but now its seiko all the way!!

    Hi sir van, thanks....Mr.G's are expensive nowadays....that is a nice watch. I kinda strayed a bit from Seiko, he he. Most of my collection are vintage ones so I don't wear them everyday. This one I will wear daily, as of now. He he....

    Rolex Watches

    in Fashion

    For me, it's definitely worth it. Each and every individual values something in his or her own terms/definition.

    If owning a Rolex watch fulfills whatever purpose you are looking to fill, whether it be announcing your

    status, owning a quality, reliable time-piece, collecting time-pieces, personal satisfaction or maybe merely as an instrument

    or tool to be used for measuring the passing of time, then it's worth it. This is why the world is full of different indulgences.

     

    I remember when I was in high school, a friend of mine was able to get his hands on two of his father's Rolexes, being

    the curious type, he was able to open the case of one of the watches and probably thinking that it was a snap-on case, he proceeded to put it back together first by light tapping and then gripping it with a pair of pliers. He then showed me the

    result of his handy-work, the crystal was ruined and has collapsed into the dial, causing the hands to deform. I just shrugged

    my shoulders after seeing it, not knowing even the mere monetary value of the ruined watch before my eyes. Back then, I had

    different priorities, different tastes. The said watch, way back then, was not worth much more than a shrug of a shoulder to me.

    I would have reacted the same way, say a Timex was the watch that was ruined.

     

    I can say for myself that my personal valuation of a Rolex has changed since then. Who knows, maybe my opinion will change

    once more as I learn more about the intricacies of horology. As of now, after owning and reading more than a dozen books on

    wristwatches, and countless hours reading threads and reviews/discussions, I still think it's worth it, on different levels, for reasons others may or may not agree with me.
