shmook Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I love casio watches. Got loads of them. However, for me, I couldn't justify dropping that much on one. Can't explain it, as I'm the king of frivolity, and understand the work that goes into them. But couldn't. Watches are a very personal thing though, and it's a lovely timepiece though stunt, so congrats on it, genuinely Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 The camera I ordered turning up. It's only a relatively basic bridge camera but it's a step up from the one on my phone and at £40 I can't complain Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looks beautiful! Nice colour too! I know, I love Safety Orange. Thanks. I love casio watches. Got loads of them. However, for me, I couldn't justify dropping that much on one. Can't explain it, as I'm the king of frivolity, and understand the work that goes into them. But couldn't. Watches are a very personal thing though, and it's a lovely timepiece though stunt, so congrats on it, genuinely Yeah, it's a lot of money but I can envisage it outlasting me at this point and that was pretty much the overtime for the last time I was in Hereford. Ironically it is to stand in for a watch that cost £150 while it goes away for a £70 replacement strap and a £168 service. What the hell? They've got me over a barrel, I'll spend it to get my watch back. I love my self-winder. One day I would like to buy nice stainless self-winder like my Citizen but that meets the chronograph specs, perhaps something with a tourbillon movement. Basically the impact and vibration at my work has junked up the movement of my trusty Citizen and it needs to be repaired, once it is back I will be keeping it in a winder and wearing it for diving and formal occasions. The Casio will be the daily. The relatively simple face for a multi function chronograph and the huge feature list is what sold me. Radio clock accuracy Solar powered Fly-back stopwatch Countdown timer World time Fairly useful alarm Utterly cutting edge shock, vibration and G-force protection including a carbon-fibre second hand to reduce torque on the movement. 24 hour analogue movement It is orange It also has a compass but if you need a compass on an analogue watch outside the tropics you were never a boy scout.

Hedganian Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I have Casio watches, I got the titanium one then was unhappy with it not being full titanium (plastic bezel, eewww) so got another one which is. Full titanium strap, back, bezel; almost unbreakable sapphire glass; solar powered; radio controlled time setting; a bunch of stop watch and world time features that I never need to use... Oddly, though, the more expensive full titanium one is rated less water resistant than the cheaper one. But it's not an issue for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 No, sadly not that one. This one It's formal enough for smart wear but robust enough for everyday wear. I use the older one with the plastic bezel for field craft, DIY, etc. just in case something were to damage it. Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Saved a bit of money buying in what used to be a council estate. You say the name of the area and everyone goes oooooooh errrr and then have nothing within the last 15 years to back it up with. Less than half the houses are owned by the council now as well. Meant I could get a small 2 bed house, rather than a flat or maisonette Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Now, I can justify the price of an omega...! How? Can you justify two and give one to a close internet friend? Ugly as sin but with upkeep on batteries it should last forever. I'd never spend that much for a watch, last Casio I got was 30$ 15 years ago and it still works. I grew out of watches and gave it to a friend and it still works. Subjective but I like the the rugged form over function look in devices. Watches have a certain appeal, a generic wearable device to tell you the time can be so cheap as to be disposable. I can see the appeal of that if you don't care but I like the devices I come into contact with to have something. Soul?, design integity?, I don't know the word but I know it when I see it. For things I interact with more often it is more important that they are skookum. Phone. Watch. Laptop. Shoes. Clothing. PC. Bike. SCUBA kit (mind you my life depends on that). Car. It all has to be "right" Link to post Share on other sites
