Stunning. I've often pondered consolidating my collection and putting the cash towards a deposit on one of these.

It's a nice piece, but I'm not a fan of blingy watches, I much prefer something like a Richard Mille to fly under the radar.

Remember that you're not its owner, just its guardian.

Looking forward to the Friday thread and to see that piece poking out from a Belstaff jacket sleeve.

Remember, you never truly own a Casio, you merely look after it for the next generation.

Seems like they need a service. I have a contact at CSC on St James’s Sq. Pm for details.

Purchased one of these in Beijing a few years ago. It turned out to be a fake Casio. I was devastated and my world was turned upside down.weeping

I'd love one myself but I'm just not willing to pay overs for one or play the AD's game, why don't Casio just make enough to meet demand!!!

It's not quartz timekeeping, it's quartz ASSISTED timekeeping.

Can’t wait for the Porsche steering wheel photo!!!

I’ll use it as a screensaver, if you don’t object of course, as inspiration to work harder to achieve ownership of such a special horological piece.

You need a proper car to go with that watch.

There was this really cringe topic in the watch thread at some point in the past year or so but I just cannot find it, it was about owning an expensive watch and how one feels for owning it, it was terrible but obcioulsy lapped up by the expensive watch fanbois, I wanted to post the OP on here to see if this threads OP feels the same, I've gone back a year but just can't find the bloody thing.

I don't think so, I'm sure that there was one, that was far more cringy.

That picture above is what success looks like,

I would only like it more if it was more expensive. You sir are a winner, well played.

I also desire a piece like that. Please wait whilst I randomly name my watches and other belongings and where I’ve been on holiday.

I know it’s nothing to do with this post but it’s too quiet in the Holidays & Porsche forum.

Got the tags too, you must be so pleased with it!

Does the wife know about your purchase or are you hoping that she won't notice?!
