Who Has a A G Shock

Goddammit came here to post this.
 
I like G Shocks for what they are, relatively cheap beaters.

But to spend $400 on a stainless one?

Yeah I’d rather spend that on a Hamilton or a Seiko but everyone has different tastes.
 
back in the day we went to a Van's Warped Tour & went into the 'Baby G' trailer exhibit. all the awesome watches on display were in this dinky plexi glass case. we just leaned on it & it busted open. me & two other buddies looked at each other without even saying anything to one another & grabbed everything we were able to in a 'free for all'. then we told our other buddies we caught up with & they ran back in for their pickings too.

yeah, we stole a lot of shit that day but we were kids & felt indestructible. we didn't know any better & thankfully things went our way.
 
They cam out with a G Shock Steel and made the shit even more undescuctable.

it looks pretty beastly. G shock are great daily time pieces.

Hmmm, I'm not a fan.

This seems to be a mix of two concepts, a dress watch and something you wear during physical activity.

The style and wording around the dial means it's not classy enough to be a dress watch. The band, and color means it's not sporty enough to look like something you wear in athletic / outdoor settings.

The bracelet is part of what makes a sports watch a sports watch though.

Yeah, sure... it's a matter of taste and understand it's not a leather band. I think the G-shocks in 6 and 7 look like sports watches much more so, though perhaps just the coloring. I have a garmin fenix for the gym / biking / travelling etc.

Wear the below for work/more formal settings It's not uber pricey by any stretch, but I really love it.

I've scratched the head of every single watch I've ever owned. I've owned a 400 dollar victorinox all the way down to the 30 dollar gshock. The gshock was the best. Only because I didn't care that I scratched it. I scratched that 400 dollar one on day 2 of owning it. Fuck that.

They got a 35th ann in gold.

You need a sapphire crystal, they're way harder to scratch. Maybe get a nice classic automatic Seiko like the SKX007 or SKX009 and if you scratch the Hardlex crystal (better than a victorinox or g shock) take it to a watch shop and have them replace it with a sapphire one.

Sounds like money I don't want to spend. I've moved on from watches. I get my time elsewhere. It was never a matter of fashion. Well, the victorinox was a gift, so I gave the whole fashion thing a shot. Learned my lesson.
 
Unless you have a million in liquid assets you should not have 20k tied up in a fkn watch that doesn't do shit more than a 20$ watch.
 
got 1 in 1986 from sharper image. it was just a stadard casio with a bigger plastic casing. lost it in the ocean

Nah, a million in liquid assets is when you can get a $50k watch.
 
I have a G-Shock for when I go hiking, camping or any physical activities.

But my day to day beater is a Citizen.

My fancy watch is an Omega Flightmaster but I only wear it on special occasions. This isn't my watch but it looks similar except mine has wear on it, no major dings or scratches though. I need to get a new caseback since the emblem is rubbed off from all of the times it's been polished but it's like $400 but since surplus parts are limited for a 45+ year old watch. I'd rather get a second beater watch like a Tissot automatic.

5% of your liquidity on your wrist?

What's the cutoff for a 20k watch then?
In reality it matters on the watch.

If you're talking about a solid gold watch bought new or pretty much anything with diamonds or really most watches bought new - You're going to lose money no matter what and a lot of those watches with diamonds and shit are really hard to sell.

If its a Submariner or a Daytona or maybe even a Speedmaster, that is basically liquid money. You can walk into any watch shop or pawn shop and sell them immediately and depending on how you bought them you can definitely make money. The Sea-Dweller I have went up in value $1500+ the second I walked out of the shop with it. If I can get the dealer to sell me a new Daytona I'll make $4-5k off it. Obviously these values can change on a new watch, but something like a vintage sub or GMT will always go up in value.

On lots of this stuff if you buy it right you're either just holding the money in a piece of jewelry as long as you care to hold it and then you get it back, or you can make $. Sometimes you buy a watch wear it for a couple years and lose $500-1000.
