suteki kuruma Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 my parents love to collect watches, and it has kinda' rubbed off on me. iba talaga dating ng casio and it's appeal being a japanese brand an all. g-shock watches have always had a special place in my heart! Quote Link to comment
sharkrolex Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Wow kidneythief!That is a nice watch...My Giez has exactly the same specs(module 4777), except for the titanium, sapphire crystal and the hefty price tag. Congratulations sir! I'm sure you will get a lot of envious stares.Please post some wrist shots to make us watch fans salivate... :evil: Suteki, yes, the Giez GS-1100 is made in Japan, unlike the ones sold in the mall, GS-1001(non-solar,non-atomic), are cased in Thailand. Hi Vanexel, try some Casios, I haven't worn the Blue GS-1100 I posted. so if you are interested.....hehe......just let me know. I intend to put the Seikos in my display case, them being vintage pieces, and wear this one instead as my daily watch: 25th anniversary Master Blue FrogmanSolar, Auto Backlight, Programmable 10 timezones, 3 daily alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch, ID,Passport,Bloodtype info,dive timer, ISO 200 meters water resist.

suteki kuruma Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 given that my g-shock model doesn't have a sapphire glass, does it hold itself well against scratches? Quote Link to comment

sharkrolex Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 given that my g-shock model doesn't have a sapphire glass, does it hold itself well against scratches? The rubber bezel will protect the crystal from everyday bumps, don't worry about it sir... :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

And guys who are not convinced of Casio's capabilities, watch this video as well.I didn't mean for it to mean that you are not convinced of what Casio watches can do or its capabilities...my bad. Me as well, I can't imagine spending that much moolah on a Casio, I can get a pretty decent Breitling for that price,or as you said a Sinn.... By the way sir Vanexel, how did you find the video?
