The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

@jordanscollected nice!! I love G-Shocks. So cool and unpretentious! Got this one Monday and I’m absolutely smitten with it.

Last new watch for a good while! Hopefully.

Inspired to get my G-Shock back in service…

Might need a clean too!

@Nocturama Nice!

Is that a play on the Tag H F1, @Matt?

[Matt]

Swatch made the Scuba 200 line in the 90’s. They’re awesome.

@Matt said in The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread:

That's cool @Matt - the bezel kind of reminded me of the Tag (old and new)

[Matt]

Agreed. I’d love to get one of the new solar powered ones but I’m not tryna drop a grand in a quartz watch.

[Bridger]

Yup - that's not chump change

Well played......

Love this mod. I switched the case and strap from stainless steel to the DLC Porter one, module is the GMW-B5000D 2. Not been able to get a good picture of the colour until the sun came out today.

Hallo,
I consider buying the Casio DW-5000R-1A. A watch that I do not need at all, since I have better equipped squares that look very similar. Please provide me with good reasons not to buy the DW-5000R-1A .

[Anesthetist]

@RobeOfTheMagi it’s a cool, throwback little watch. I wish I had known you wanted one, a design shop online had them 50% off.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Too late … my wife got me one ️

We found it quite old school in a small town family owned brick and mortar, full retail however.

@RobeOfTheMagi nice!!! I love a good square. I think the squares play well with IronHeart too.

@RobeOfTheMagi I love my G-Shock and in general I started to love my casios even more after making my way up to some more expensive watches, which I mostly sold because I got bored or wanted other stuff. Lately I am wearing my A168 a lot.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@FlavourFade and @Anesthetist

I agree with both of you 100%! Square G-Shocks are beautifully designed classless tool watches. No matter how much money I had, I'd still like to wear Casios. The Japan made DW-5000R-1A with a solid steel case and screw down case back really outstanding. I does feel different than my 15 year old solar squared that has travelled the world with me.

My favourite Gs currently.
