Wear with Nato sure looks hipster.

Hmmm... good idea also.

Or an Air King.

You rich snob you!!!



Real inexpensive NATO fun goes like this...

Short review of my new watch... well... not exactly new since it belongs to a family member.

Dial:
I like the applied indices the most, as it turns between shades of silver to black in different lighting conditions. The dial itself while a little busy for my liking, is actually quite legible as the shocking red hands provides excellent contrast and adds to a sporty persona

Case:
The daring yellow (a shade lighter than Yohan Blake's controversial Richard Mille) non-metallic synthetic material works wonders for shock protection at situations that'll make a Rolex cry like a baby. I've accidently dropped it at least 3 feet onto wood floor with no problems at all.

Movement:
Excellent accuracy (no long term testing but didn't see any deviations in 24 hour) so far since its quartz though I suspect its not thermo compensated HE quartz. Was curious to pop open the case back but I didn't wanna ruin the hologram caseback sticker.

Only question is... Do you guys think its too small for my wrist?

Fuh... tungsten carbide bezel. Same stuff used for anti-tank rounds

But then how to classify a good movement? Accuracy? Complication? when a cheapo quartz rapes a tourbillon

Comparative la....

Me thinks the "value" of the watch is not quantifiable or break down into logical thinking one cos logically it doens't make sense to spend so much on watches

Image/Prestige also depend on who you speak to... everyone got different impression of different brands.

So to me... value is syiok sendiri

A ford mustang also not logical nor justifiable if you think about it but then again if u syiok..... Then it makes perfect sense

Budget?

If your main concern are budget and toughness... the folks that shoot guns, jump off airplanes, fly jet fighters usually go for these.



G-shocks.

Sacrilege!!! the purist don't consider it a true moonwatch since its co-axial and besides automatics don't work in space.
jk jk

The G-shock range can be quite confusing but I think the GA-150 analog+digital range is within your budget.

For more traditional types of watches where the crystal is more exposed, most more affordable watches uses mineral crystal/hardlex (among many other names) which are prone to scratching.

More expensive ones uses sapphire crystal which are scratch proof but they do shatter if hit and the right place.

Depends on how much is it.. If recall correctly its HK company with better grade china movement).
Frankly speaking, a LE under 1k watch is either not very limited or not that good.

Spam some propaganda film tonight

Catnip sifu... When r u going to show ur entire collection?

Btw.. He stated its a $100 Casio so i dont think its worth changing to sapphire loh. Better keep it.. Wabi and all

Panerai shop in Florence

I thought ladies more suited to quartz?
Patek makes a ladies quartz.
And my wife who doesn't wear her watch during the weekends.. every monday ask me to set the time for her

The Swiss people and the Italians couldn't be more different in character and culture. Hahahahaha..

Yes sir... cartoon watches have a lot of WIN.

There's many many other options around for that price but whether wise choice of not depends on how you feel about it.

I love Bond trivias...

Also although the PO first appeared in Quantum of Solace, Mr.Bond Daniel Craig himself offscreen is more of a Rolex person. He's often spotted with his vintage Submariner, Daytona and Milgauss. He even wore Rolex to the movie's premier... that is until Omega signed him as their ambassador.

As for Bond watch....

" Only one brand is specifically named as that secret agent’s watch in Fleming’s original 14 Bond editions: Rolex. The greatest detail comes in his eleventh book, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, published in 1963. Here we read of the “big luminous numerals” that Bond sees when taking a lazy midnight glance at his chronometer, “a heavy Rolex Oyster Perpetual on an expanding metal bracelet.” The watch is a Rolex Explorer I."
