When I saw your post on your Rolex awhile back, I absolutly fell in love with it.
I wish I could afford the real thing. I even came really close to buying a $400 dollar knockoff of that same watch on Ebay.

My neighbor got one for $50. It looks nice, but it just doesn't have a few small features that makes it closer to the real thing, such as the laser engraving on the lens, screw band links, rubber sealant under crown.

G-Shock Japan

I recently bought my one and only digital watch, a G-Shock MTG-930. I wanted a watch with the Wave Ceptor feature (it autoupdates from the US atomic clock) to set my other watches by. I never find myself wearing it - I just don't really like digital watches. I guess I should have gone with one of the analog/digital ones.
 
g shock's are enjoyable

i had a nice simple field and stream watch i loved dearly, but the band broke and i haven't replaced it yet
also : i have a fossil Yellow watch 🙂 pretty sweet.
 
G-Shocks are awesome!

my dad bought me one from Japan about 12 years ago...it's still working like a champ and I never replaced the battery 😀 My dog got to it and the rubber band is all chewed up, but it still rocks 🙂
 
Well I bought the Chairman Mao watch from eBay, it was only 12 bucks, but I'm still looking for a real watch. I think I'll look for a Fossil store today.

The Orsa actually is a Folex in a sense, because it's a copy of a military-issue Submariner, and the Zeno is a knockoff of a Rolex Explorer in its general design. I kinda regret buying both, actually, because although I like the underlying designs, the implementation is a little disappointing.
 
Well that was a pretty disappointing trip to the mall. The Fossils, Diesels, Kenneth Cole, etc. were all nice, but nobody sees the importance of a light on their watch! A watch doesn't do me much good in the dark. Those luminescent dials don't glow in the dark forever. Fossil had only one watch that had a light on it, but it was less than spectacular otherwise.

I don't want another Timex, but the Indiglo is sweet.
 
Why are discontinued Fossil watches so hard to find? The one at the store that I was leaning towards, can't be found on the Fossil website, or for sale anywhere else on the web, and only two are for sale on ebay (with none found from searching the completed auctions.) That just seems weird to me.
