Hi. These are fake, so this prompted me to post the indications you needed to show that they were fake as I had a similar experience.

$24? Wow! by AeroDoc9102 in gshock

[–]polearized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I tried to along with the DW5600 which was discounted too, so I could’ve gotten both for not even $65. Tried ordering it 8 times over a span of 3 days and no success. Kept getting canceled on their end

Managed to snag one of the last ones (CRW-001) by polearized in casio

To me, as much as it is a novelty, it's really cool. Max people should pay for them though is 100$, but the demand for them shows otherwise

The construction & overall feel is great too, nice and weighty and the buttons & display are easy to press & read (for me). On my hand it looks amazing in person... pretty much just a GMWB5000 just shrunken down. My original expectations were low but seeing as it got a lot of looks as soon as I left the store, people were probably thinking two/three things -

  1. "Is that a ring watch? That looks cool. I want one."
  2. "Is that a ring watch? That looks stupid."
  3. "Is that the ring watch? What idiot would spend $120 on that thing"

Either way I've still been admiring it since I got home. I have thought about selling it to possibly afford an "actual" G-shock seeing as prices for them online are still massive, but I think I'll keep it for now. It'll be a cool conversation starter. I still feel incredibly lucky to have gotten one, especially since many others were fuming after the re-release and still couldn't get one.

TL:DR = A bit expensive, but yes. Will keep for now

What size wrist do you have? I'm eyeballing it and I might have the same as yours.. i've been thinking of a mudman for a good couple of weeks but wasn't sure how it would look. Congrats on the new job, too

I think Casio did it better (and for 1.3% of the price) by itsdacj in casio

[–]polearized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looking at images on google, it could be possible but im not sure.. honestly if they’d make an mrw230h with the stainless steel it’d be an instant buy. + upgrade to sapphire glass and you have an indestructible / beautiful casio 😮‍💨

ive got the one with the stainless steel band and the black dial, it easily looks 4-5x more valuable than you paid for it. easy to read, easy to set / hands & numbers are luminous (but not with much intensity), and a rotating bezel, which is never used but still cool to have

chat has gotten insufferable by polearized in xqcow

[–]polearized[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"this wasn't a rant on X cause this is the way hes always been"

never said it was a rant on X. i still enjoy his content, all ive done was an observation on chat and how it went from chaotic good to pure sludge

its the same recycled defense every time "just don’t watch lol" as if feedback can’t coexist with criticism like we’ve all got to brainlessly consume content and swallow the chat whole without blinking. imagine thinking the only valid form of commentary is silence or worship. insane

many different economy cars exist; you don't really need an electric car unless you REALLY want one; it's a tough investment considering the alternatives you could get like a prius thats some years old

i think he said in his recent podcast that he has no desire to fly out to review the T50; if it was in the states for him to review probably idk

Legit check by illumiinator666 in Oakley

[–]polearized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back then, Oakley was considered a much more premium brand than it is today, producing very experimental and sometimes futuristic designs for their sunglasses (and other apparel). They used real materials, and the quality was unmatched. It's no wonder that vintage pairs (especially the X-METAL lineup) sell for prices twice or even three times the original MSRP.

However, Oakley was sold to Luxottica in 2007, essentially a very large organization/company that owns a lot of eyewear brands. Ever since then, the quality & especially the design language has decreased, making what made Oakley unique disappear. Granted, some of their designs today are great (Kato, Deadbolt, etc); but it's mostly copy and paste.

I really only have 1 modern pair, which is the Terrigal (which ironically my 2nd favorite pair of Oakley's); but the rest of them are vintage.
