Kudos to you sir, that is a brave choice of colour but you've pulled it off. (Although the F-91W looks good in most colours). I imagine it compliments the TK Maxx bag quite well.

I didn't have the same courage so opted to have the CAC (Casio Alarm Chrono) in the standard anthracite. That way it doesn't clash too much with my "Aribas" trackies I got from the Saturday market.

How far have you pushed the limits re: waterproofing? My CAC is supposedly 50m water resistant, although at the moment the deepest I've taken it is 0.3m whilst I washed the dishes.

0.3m?? ooooh Look at you boasting about how deep your posh sink is you flash bd

I do wish those haters, particularly those who lack either a Rolex or a Cartier, would stop posting on my thread.

You can't possibly have anything useful to impart, as has been proven by the frivolous nature of your contributions to date.

Most kind.

Castroses - I note your offensive remarks. Aren't you clever.

I've got 2 Rolex watches (and a fair few Casios as well, much better VFM!) and I think this thread is ridiculous.

Hoping to be in the market for a Classic myself within the next few years. (If I can convince the Mrs to let me spend the money). Currently giving some wrist time to a Casio Alarm Chrono. Some say it's a bit 'couldn't afford a Classic', but it's a damn good watch and I've successfully used the backlight to operate a portable camping toilet in a pitch dark forest.

Odd that you should say that...

...I was looking at a Patek Philippe repeater on Sunday just as you posted this/these. Must be an omen?

I've got 3 Rolex watches, several Casio's and a Sekonda

A Sekonda you say? Sorry to hear that old chap.

Ah! Double post. On a serious note, The Patek Philippe is the thinking man's CAC, I like it. What's the backlight like?

It's very strong. Apparently if you repeatedly use it in a remote car park it's bright enough to attract doggers from quite a wide area.

Sorry? I wouldn't talk to Mrs M unless she wore a Sekonda.

I did think about going for either a gold or silver one, but I felt I would have been put into the bracket of the moneyed people I simply detest, I do not believe my ego is that big and I would certainly feel like a bit of a *cough* *cough* wearing it, it is certainly very good at complimenting a lot of my partners clothing range, perhaps one of the best is a white and blue Primarni dress, and when we are both giving our Classics some well deserved wrist time in the summer we always get noticed, this has helped many times in getting benches in beer gardens of fancy pubs, and a few times into the Joules shop, they clearly see we are not messing about.

I understand your reasons for not wanting the clash, but I am somewhat eccentric so I feel the watch would be a personal statement about myself, they not only match my pristine white Hi-Tecs but the watch itself adds to the floral bouquet of colours printed on the back of my Naf Naf bomber jacket, which just shows the world I am big game


Waterproof testing, I have dipped my arm into my friends swimming pool with it on, to a depth of 0.546807 Fathoms, and it held up just as well as the shop said it would, very impressed, but I wouldn't go any further as I don't want to seem blasé about my money or belongings.

Indeed it is quite annoying, there's a very serious wrist time post going on, and then there are a few who just can't appreciate the Casio Classic or CAC, really quite annoying.

As mentioned prior to this, perhaps the big let down to the Classic is the backlight, in situations where doggers may arise from the darkness, and you're using your CC as a light, you may find yourself being startled as they can creep up on you.

Sorry but I would dispute either of you having several Casios,unless they're the "Quartz Classic" style watches found in vending machines, I hate people who wear these cheap knock offs as it impacts people with the genuine article.

[DJMC]

I do hope my analogue ones are originals? Do you think they are too "posh" for the public houses you speak of frequenting?

This thread is very John Dokic.

Watches are nice but as someone else has mentioned that thumb ring is hideous.

I'd wager you could have fooled the whole forum.

Buy her a Casio calculator watch and get over yourself. She'll still love you.

Great thread though.

I have an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, FYI.

[DJMC]

Oh... just remembered, apart from my OP DJ I had this tucked away in a drawer...









Anyone worn two watches, one on each wrist? I saw that chappie Neil on Posh Pawn doing exactly this. Could wear a nice automatic on one, and then a cheapie quartz on the other for accuracy? Show one arm when entering the Ritz, the other for the pub? Ideal!

Or maybe just a Rolex on each?
Or in my wife's case, Rolex one, Cartier the other. Perhaps a Chanel bag on each arm, and each shoulder? (she has four).
