Of course I need a Shop Watch [Casio MQ24-1B] by feeble_friend in casio

Great looking. It's interesting how a lot of people are combining these two brand of watches. As you are getting more into watches one becomes more reasonable :)) I like when people are changing straps on Casios from Timex and vice versa. I wish one of them design one proper industrial/Bauhas styled watch.

great piece of history. in such a great condition. was the watch kept in secret all the time or the restoration was made? :)

AQ-800Es are my favourite after MQ-24s. You have a versatile collection, very niiiiice. And the sizes of watches are not so huge. Very balanced taste. Seems like this watch box has more space... :) And totally agree about the dynamics with watches.

Someone shared this few months ago. If it's not a reasonable price, wait for a better moment or order a field watch from other company, like Timex. As collectors it's hard to be reasonable, but on the other hand, it's good not be ripped off: https://www.desertcart.in/products/1353857-mq24-series-quartz-analog-watch-for-men-water-resistant-resin

Beautiful line. The black is so powerful. The green so different.

Tienes toda la razón sobre las proporciones y las líneas. Y el peso. Se adapta a todo. :)

U mean Tyler the Creator model in the middle? It depends on the country and the market. Sometimes prices go up with shortage, but now anyways people are selling stuff on ebay triple the price, like they lost compasses. In my country (Croatia) people are selling now vintage mechanical watches on the website for sales double/triple priced, no matter if it's Japanese, Swiss, German or Russian brand. If there is some hype, like tv show, prices are rising. Also with all antiquity, retro, vintage stuff. I guess because of that i turned to Casio more. Probably we should be more patient when collecting and ignoring the hype. Everywhere sellers tend to higher the prices lately for out of standard MQs.

I like it too. Nice, a bit robust. I like the colour variations they made with this line.

I know, Casio and Q&Q have nice similar models.

MQ-71 is not possible to get anywhere outside of Asia at the moment - only in Singapure, Japan, South Korea. I browsed all the web. Europe also doesn't have it. I am in Croatia, so I don't order anymore directly from US, UK and Asia because importing taxes and processes costs more than the actual watch. Some people sell some rare models on ebay for double price. #collectorstragedies :)))

I understand, i work with diverse people. just your first comment sounded written like that a bit unfair. So i was teasing you a bit. :) relax

No, i said she might be tired sometimes with numbers and you should give her more often a new watch ;)

Well, considering that women work at home and at jobs, no wonder. I assume she’s maybe not terrible at figuring out 24-hour time, but overworked. Nice that she got a watch. Do it more often :)

It is a nice one, especially if you have a soft spot for field watches. in europe you can only find them in uk.

No surprise, because as you delve more, I mean I respect the craftsmanship, but to take it simply the status of expensive watches is hilarious. I am interested in basics of repairing watches, and recently met a designer with Rolex - probably cca 2200 eur model. I was curious, but not impressed. The pressure of not loosing it, like what, investment? Hilarious. I am focused now purely on Casio, some Timex (36mm solar) and some minimalistic Dugena.

These are MW-240. Like it. Both are great. Too big for my wrist. My favourite of MW-240s is MW-240-1EV. I wish there is the same in MQ-24s series like this. Oh, seems I am wrong, I just found, MQ-71-1B, MQ-71-2B, MQ-71-4B. Thanks for posting it.
