![]() Casio Men's Ana-Digi Electro-Luminescent Sport Watch #AQ160W-1BV $44.95 I can't really put in an objective review because i received it with dead battery. I returned it after i got it. I din't really had a hard time returning it but i think it was a waste of tiime. I would've kept it if it was working. ![]() Omega Men's Speedmaster Professional Mechanical Chronograph Watch #3570.50.00 $3,000.00 I have never splurged on a luxury watch before in my life. Up to date, my most expensive watch had been a Movado, one that I enjoyed wearing greatly for the last 3-4 years. Recently I decided it was time to invest in a timepiece that I would love, be very presentable in business, but not too gaudy. Lastly, I wanted something that had good resale value instead of the me-toos that are now too commmon with so many models being released by every luxury watch maker. I ended up looking at the Moonwatch. I didn't get mine from Amazon - for that I am a first time Omega buyer and didn't want to go with Grey market. I visited a DutyFreeShop in Singapore here last night and they had the limited edition of this same watch - (only 7969 was made) which came with a beautiful collectors case with a silver apollo coin and all the standards. [...] I chose to buy this edition instead of the regular versions, and though it set me back >5Grand USD, I am amazed at how happy and proud I am as an owner of this timepiece. The manual movement is great. I like winding this daily. The watchstore guy told me to do about 10 winds / day, and never overdo -it , or you'll break the pin. The limited edition doesn't come in Sapphire crystal versions, which is fine given its aim as a collector's item that resembled the original moon watches. If you want a great watch, I would def go for this. Sapphire will be good if you want to go everyday with it. As my is the limited edition, I intend on only wearing it on special occasions and will revert back to my Movado (which has sapphire), at busy areas like the airports, where I had many times been bumped by people. Avoid these situations with this type of watch, and I'm sure you will be able to enjoy it for years and years. Lastly, the self-winding automatic has a great light ticking sound - I can already imagine my son wanting to steal this thing from me in the future as it is just way cool. With the way our Fed is printing money like no tomorrow, this is something I would take in place of 5Grand of paper and enjoy for a lifetime. ![]() Casio Men's Sea Analog Illuminator Dual LED Dive Watch #MDV102-1AV $69.95 If you're looking for a basic diving watch, then this isn't a bad choice. Otherwise, go with Seiko/Citizen or any of the other "diving" brands. The rubber strap has a very "cheap" feel to it. The lighting system is good but seems cheesy to someone who's used to Super Lum or even Tritium light source. The glass reflects a lot as well. I noticed that the quartz movement of the "second" hand doesn't line up with the actual markers. For a watch person like myself, this is bothersome. Like I said in the beginning, it's a decent watch for the casual user but for a diving watch I'd look for something that is rated ISO6425. ![]() Casio Men's Sports Chronograph Alarm 10-Year Battery Databank Watch #AW80D-2AV $34.95 The watch could be a little thinner but it is not a complaint. I really like it so far. |
