Good idea though.

Though don't be surprised, they gotta cut corners to make the watches the price they go for...

I think there might also be a difference in quality of glass crystals too, my old Swatch glass would get scratched if you so much as looked at it, but the skeleton I posted a few pages back has survived a couple of hits against sharp things and not a scratch.

Besides a decent number of G-Shocks... here are a select few that I really enjoy wearing.

Vintage heirloom piece.

Love that JLC alarm. I saw your video before on youtube and while watching it I was hoping you would let the alarm chime. Do you have any videos of it ringing?

[leicaboss]

Thanks, could've sworn I did the alarm bit, but I'll see if I can record that feature for you sometime.

Damn. Tissot is trying to take all my money.

If you had a Hot Lava FRS instead of a blue BRZ I'd be paranoid right now.

Damn, there are some real nice watches in here.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd have this one

Tag Heuer Calibre 5

[Dimman]

Got something incoming. First brand-new Swiss watch for me. Tissot Couturier in rose gold IP, and black. I'll post pics when it's in, sometime next week I hope.

But I have a style question about what do I wear with it. I picked the rose gold because independently the watch looks awesome in the colour combination, but didn't think through about how to dress for it.

Suggestions?

[leicaboss]

The easiest way is to find straps that complement the watch head. Some straps have unfinished edges, some have more casual buckles, others are formal beyond belief.

Rose gold is a nice color but I do prefer neutral tones in a more daily watch. Do you have the photo of the specific watch you ordered? Maybe from a dealer?

I looked it up, the look is pretty formal, I'd get a dark brown strap to pair with it. The black dial tends to make the watch more somber while white gives it a casual air.
