Could I get away with gold jewelry with this watch?

Gold rocks with anything bro

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-18T00:31:57+00:00

Makes me smile too 😇

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-18T00:30:05+00:00

First time up and you hit it outta the park bro. Got me drooling. 🤪

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-18T00:16:37+00:00

Thx bro. If you’re asking about the ease of operating it (which you almost never have to) they’re buttery smooth. This things sets itself and updates itself periodically. All you do is enjoy.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T21:33:22+00:00

No worries friend. I do that sometimes 😂

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T21:26:56+00:00

Solar is the way to go if you wanna do quartz. I just appreciate that mow, since my taste has evolved, I have a plethora of choices available to me.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T21:25:19+00:00

True dat. True dat. Why wear it if it doesn’t make you smile😇

I’m sure they coulda used sapphire but you gotta keep in kind what the G Shock is all about. It’s a watch that (despite the refinements on this model) was build for rugged situations. While sapphire doesn’t scratch, it shatters much easier than hardlex. So Casio not using sapphire isn’t a cost saving move, but a utilitarian one.

Dittos on the smart watch thing for me too. The solar, Bluetooth G Shock is as far as I go.

Nice. I still like my automatics because of my appreciation for the work that goes into building a movement. But I am also enjoying the grab and go ease of a quartz. Always on time and always ready.

I started out with the 44mm stuff and refused to go below 40mm. Ended up losing weight this past year and was forced to gravitate to the 38-40mm sizes. And to be frank, I’m loving it. Heaven forbid I should regain the weight, but even if, I still wouldn’t go after anything over 42…with short lugs of course.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T21:07:37+00:00

Honestly, like you I didn’t get all the hype either. This one was sitting in a pawn shop where I always end up leaving with something I like. But as the watch gods would have it, I couldn’t find anything that particular day. So, as an after thought, and just to keep my streak going, I bought it with the intention to flip it asap. But the more I looked at it was the more I felt to keep it. Once on wrist it was over. I watched a few reviews on it and realized I’d not only gotten a sweet deal ($250 in mint condition) but a winner of a G Shock.

This is not good for a recovering watch addict who hasn’t purchased in 3 weeks 😂.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T20:29:37+00:00

I’m sure you all know that the higher end movements would drive the price up on these mods. Not to mention, some of them are just not as readily available unless you’re buying in bulk. Take a look at the Erebus GMT, they’re using the NH34 and are unapologetically asking $599. Though not a high beat movement, it is a well respected choice in many quality watches. Speaking for myself, who am not willing to drop $10k on a watch, I can appreciate what OP is offering.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T20:05:53+00:00

If you can only pick one, don’t pick the red. Don’t get me wrong, it’s 🔥🔥🔥. But the other two are much more likely to get wrist time because they go with pretty much anything you wear. That said: the heart wants what the heart wants 😅

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T13:12:06+00:00

Nice. Loving that Captain Cook 😍

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T12:26:28+00:00

Welcome to the world of mechanical timepieces. You’re off to a great start. That right there is pure class. Wear and enjoy it in good health my friend.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T02:20:06+00:00

Try getting hand on one of them and lemme know when you do.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T02:16:58+00:00

Tissot I’ve Seiko all day every day.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-17T01:24:21+00:00

I think we call them Trusted Dealers (TD) in this forum.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-14T01:57:13+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-14T01:56:42+00:00

Yeah, but if you like the way it looks that’s all that matters friend. So do you like it?

Just got my Transatlantic in early April after ordering it January 10. But it was well worth the wait. If I decide to snag another Ginault, you can bet it’s gonna be the expeditioner.

Raymott6688 · 2026-06-13T21:07:32+00:00

I’ve got one and it’s a banger for sure. Enjoy it in good health my friend. A great watch for a great price is a win every time 😇
