I’m selling a bunch of mine as I have too many. Including a few rare ones. I posted them under #forsale

I should too… 😅

I love them tho 🥺

I’ve always loved this model G-Shock. Unfortunately, getting older and eyesight slowly getting worse means the character display size is hard to read - fine with glasses. A few years ago I switched to negative display Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical and love it. 30 days on a single charge and solar to extend it is pretty good. #watches

I usually wear mechanical watches but my grandfather was an engineer at Casio when they were developing screens for calculators before watches, and I was born 1983 like GShock

I prefer a mechanical watch and have too many of those as well. I actually designed the Prometheus Ocean Diver line of watches that I’m pretty proud of.

Love the inner bezel dive timer. Reminds me of Longines legends diver!

I always liked day-dates as they’re practical for EDC for the working man, but during Covid I was buying, servicing, photographing, and reselling vintage watches, and day-date complications were always the least desirable for collectors. Time only was always in demand, followed by dive watches, then chronographs, but like all complications - a touch pricier to service and requires it a bit more often - and that turns purists away 😂

I've heard about people collecting these!

What is the fascination with this particular type of watch?

Everyone is different, but I always loved them as a watch guy

You’re always trying to be careful and not scratch or damage any of your watches, here comes a brand that says break me, I dare you.

Ah, understood, the ruggedness is the feature 💪

And now I’m thinking about Elaine’s boss Peterman on Seinfeld and his company. Built for (manly) adventures!

I am afraid the cultural reference is lost on me 😂
