Your coffee intake is approaching mine - heaven knows what your blood pressure must be like. Like you, I collected only mechanical watches until comparatively recently. The Bulova Lunar Pilots tempted me into the dark side of high-precision quartz, and the release of the full-metal G-Shocks (in 2018, not 1918!) pulled me down into the Casio rabbit hole. Love those 70s Omegas!

Great minds think alike.. Precision Quartz is a dark hole for sure and I am not sure I can crawl out.

Thank you for all your Casio videos. I am watching this while sizing the bracelet on my new Casiotron. I love how the blue and gold look in person. Hate that Casio can’t use screws in the bracelet.

oh be careful with the push pins. I follow the arrow to push out the pin, then replace the pin against the arrow.. I hope I have explained that the right way.. but this works fine and can be done with a fine spring bar tool. It is quite a neat process actually.

I know what you mean about the blue/gold bezel on the 'Sky & Sea' square being more "in your face" than on the Casiotron. Of course, the bezel on the Casiotron is at a 45-degree angle, so it looks thinner than it really is, and the blue appears a little darker too because of that. And obviously they couldn't really reduce the width of the bezel on the square model without it looking silly. I love both of them equally, especially the way the light plays on the gold fluting. Your MR G Froggy looks positively dainty compared with my GWG-B1000 Mudmaster, which is nearly the size of a hockey puck. You need to have one of these beasts adorning your wrist if you really want to kick sand in their faces at meetings. It definitely doesn't slide unobtrusively under the cuff, and it resembles a model of the Millennium Falcon, festooned with futuristic barnacles, as Russell the Mad Watch Collector commented. Finally, you don't seem to have a CasiOak in your collection (I have four in full-metal form and three in resin). Any particular reason?

regards the CasiOak I was going to go/ thinking about it/ the MRG-B2100 and I have looked at it many times... I just wish it had a stop watch, timer and alarm but maybe that is my error. Regards the big Mudmaster I keep looking at those also and thinking I wonder is Casio will do the MR-G treatment to those also... I like the Millennium Falcon analogy that is a good explanation.

Haha this is crazy!! Is this something that is common in watch collectors? I have gone crazy with coffee and making espresso based drinks I now have a commercial coffee bar in my kitchen… and I’m here because I am trying to decide what watch to buy next😂😂 we are so far away from each other but so much alike it’s uncanny 😂 coffee is healthy for you and that’s what I keep on thinking, once your used to it caffeine doesn’t bother you anymore, beautiful collection of watches 👍👍 thanks for the video

fresh coffee is good for you and as long as you don't drink 17 cups a day, you will be fine.. I need to show my coffee making skills at some point. Regards the nest watch.... HOLD ON... I have been thinking the exact same and I have some thoughts... hold fire, these things are expensive and you need to buy right so you don't have to buy again.. hehe.. I am joking a little but you probably know what I mean. I've been trying to explain watch collecting in a video and I have not yet but I will soon as you have to be in a cool mood and have thought it all through. The watch collecting game is brilliant and I know it brings a lot of pleasure to people.. There's a chance I might be also collecting on the dark side.. the mechanical side.. and I have a plan..

Yes show some coffee skills!! That would be great 👍 I have been trying to figure out if the 50 anniversary Casio (the one that is 4000 made) is a watch to get or not?? Any thoughts?

@@justinremple7986 If you are thinking the Casiotron, blue & gold I would say yes that is a major major Go (in the words of Flossy Carter)

Sadge advice, saving is the way to go. I might add though if you reside in the U.S. i would and do put large purchases like this on a credit card and then pay the balance off at months end. This helps to build and bolster ones credit history. Which here is very important to cultivate.

That is correct and I think you get additional purchase protection buying on a credit card. Actually if you time it correctly you can achieve in effect 6 weeks of free credit this way also.

MW you need another black square and new 2025 GOLD MRG!!!!! to even things out. As it stands the Captain America looks out there on its own!

Besides coffee and fresh squeezed cream if you had to pick only one of the 50th anniversary watches , which would it be the square or the Casio Tron?

that is a good question.. I asked myself the same question and also another person asked the same.. If I had to chose only one, it would be the Square.. but only by 51% C-Tron being 49%

I think the black and blue frog is still one of the best, whilst the yellow is very special, it isn’t as versatile. Unfortunately, it is in fact sold out. I did try to plead my case to my AD, no dice. I did purchase the titanium bracelet though, and it is cool.

I think you should collect watches like a game of Chess. Each piece like in a strategy game. King - This is your High Horology one piece to be protected at all costs. Like A. Lange & Söhne, Patek, Vacheron, AP, Breguet Queen - This is for your Wife. One piece to move anywhere on any occasion. Like Cartier. Bishop - This is your Racing Chronograph, zipping around the game. Like Omega Speedmaster, Daytona, Zenith el primero Knight - This is your Pilot GMT, traversing time zones across the game. Like Rolex GMT Master 2, Grand Seiko, Tudor Rook - This is your Diver, deep into the game, straight up and down. Like Omega Planet Ocean, Submariner, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Pawn - These are your daily warriors, a selection of micro brands or armoured G-Shocks. Ready for battle scars. 1 x King 1 x Queen 2 x Bishops 2 x Knights 2 x Rooks 8 x Pawns The Collection. 😊
