Bravo!!

It is obvious that you obviously asked a question that you have obviously answered..

Now let's move on....

Never owned a G-Shock...
Looking forward to see the pics.......
BTW, this thread needs some love too.... <Link>

There's a movie missing from Bond 50: The Complete 22 Film Collection
Guess which movie was not included.....

Mind telling us the full story? How did you handled the situation and what's their solution and compensation for you?

So, they are not going to replace the missing tritium tubes?

It's expensive to replace the tritium tubes if you need to fork out of your own pocket.

I estimate Mondaine to be the same...

Seiko Kinetic Perpetual is out of your budget. >1K Choose Seiko Premier Perpetual Calendar instead. Example: SNQ105P1

Still available but with an SRP of RM1810 here, it is out of his budget unless he can get a good discount.

That Oris looks too big to be worn under the cuffs..

Just go to any Seiko authorized dealer. Most carry the Premier line. Retail is around 1.3K. As for discounts, ask nicely.

No. You are paying RM2K+ for a watch with a Ronda 705 (1 jewel) movement that sells roughly RM40.00 from online watch suppliers. That movement is most likely made here and costs less than RM8 from the factory.

Free tip:
If any watch is advertised with the following key words: tactical ops, special forces, SEAL, commando etc. Run away and leave this stuff to Mall Ninjas.

+1 My sentiments exactly.

I think it's too expensive for a watch with an ETA movement.

"aura of desirability"? I agree that a value of a watch is subjective depending on the individual person. But to suggest an inanimate man made object can exude an "aura of desirability" is grandiloquent. You have been bombarded by too many Rolex and Tudor ads.

After all, one must look objectively when making a decision.

For the price range of a Tudor Pelagos (RM13K), one could go for a Longines Heritage Column Wheel Chronograph.

It won't look awkward when wearing the watch to an office.
Unless you are a professional diver, you won't look like a poseur.

Still, if I were to get a professional diving watch, I'd go with either one of these rather than an over hyped ETA watch.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can always say that the Tudor Pelagos has a certain je ne sais quoi that you find appealing.

For starters, be contented with what you have. Next, read the book.

Look at the context of the original question that I was replying to.

BG-5606-1

Afraid of being upstaged? Get 2 BabyGs. Smaller but fits your wrist better...

The closest thing to a G-Shock I ever owned. It was my last Casio watch bought.



Come and take a trip down memory lane!

Thanks for the compliment, but the credit goes to the collector and gallery owner.

It won't be long till Casio releases a Basic Black version of GX-56GB-1.

No it isn't my collection.
Nostalgia?... It's time to build your collection of watches.

Counter it with something like: "You have only 2 feet.. how many pair of shoes can you wear?"
Next, give her the quote from Rocky II: "I never asked you to stop being a woman, so please don't ask me to stop being a man."

I essentially collect money and occasionally exchange it for stuff I want and not necessarily need.

Damn. I was tempted to get the SS bracelet black version of this Bulova Claremont.
