What time is it? Watches and horology

I quite like that Casio g-shock that vb posted up the 1300b, anyone seen where I could get one cheap. Thinking of getting an everyday replacement for the seiko which isn't getting back to me for another month or two, and will then be modded by the hammer wielding Murtle...

Can't find cheap... I checked eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=GS1300

But it was more expensive than just buying it off Amazon.

Is there a G-Shock shop in London? They may well be open to a haggle.

Covent Garden

brick lane also has a g-shock store

Ah, of course. Neil Street.

For some reason I thought that was just a pop-up and must be long gone.

anyone know if there is a G Shock with a vibrating alarm? my cheapy Casio with vibrator is on its last legs but such a useful function for me

Thanks for that vb, is there a previous version of th giez, which doesn't have the shiny metal bits on it. I'm thinking some sort of stealth black version, which goes cheaper.
Just a quick thought, will probably pop into the g-shock store but I'm shit at haggling..

You mean, just like the other one I posted?

yes...

brain not working very well...
both are still out of my price range...

Tight bastards Budget living thread >>>>>>>>>>>

Don't worry, just remember that they're 46mm across, and look enormous on your arm. Then you can talk yourself out of it.

^ tiny girlish hands

I've got thursday and friday off so will pop into casio store and try one on for size, and see if my arm looks suitably childlike beneath the watches massive presence

Lower image is a DW5600MS. I like the smaller size a lot.

Nice, like that display style - like them both, tend towards the round face though

Prefer a Suunto.

Rather like the Elementum;

ahem

Not that one though. WTF is that red business one there?

Traser Code Blue - I like

Traser Long Life - I also likie

Quartz.... :/

shudders

In other news, the missus' Air King will now fit the tiniest of wrists and I didn't even have to threaten it with a blow-torch. It might not smell very nice when she tries it on at the weekend because I immersed the bracelet in WD40...

I don't mind a Quartz movement, never noticed any difference before really

When did this thread turn into the 'Shit Watches I Bought At The Trocadero' Thread??!

Sega world ftw.

1953 Rolex Oyster
1550 movement
This was one of the models built only for the American Thunderbird pilots.

What would one recommend for around £100 as a good looking daily watch? Im not into that sort of chunky rubber G-shock thing, more minimalist etc
Thanks

Swatch.

Yup, and for a simple classic face that goes with just about everything, and for under £100... try the Charcoal Suit:
