My non-buyer’s regret. Do you have one to share?

I always kick myself for not purchasing this watch when I could’ve. It would have been my first G-Shock since I began collecting.

The thing is that is now only available through Chrono24 for almost double, al least… which I do not intend to pay, not because it’s not worth $300, but because I don’t want to support the flipping business model.

I’ll just have to wait for Ben to release a new limited edition in who-knows-how-many more years.

You live and you learn.

Don’t really regret it (because in the end I landed on a Glashutte Original), but this was available for a short while / could buy it…great looking watch:

Kudoke is a 10000000% a brand I looked into, they make gorgeous watches.

I wanted a Kudoke too… here’s the exact model

The G-Shock looks great but hot damn that is a nice looking camera

Foregoing the purchase isn't going to stop the flipping model. Buy it and be happy. Life is short.

I got that ben clymer g shock but I would not pay anything above 250€ for it. While I love the colour scheme I would also enjoy a black on black G Schock for +- 100€.

Ah man, that really is 😎!

Oh yeah…. If I had a stupid amount of money burning a hole in my pocket, then I’d for sure go for one… it’s super gorgeous. They still have them in stock, but it’s like $15K

Ha yeah actually another Hodinkee collab. The blue John Mayer g shock was mine but I let it slip away.

I kick myself for not picking up a SCCVF007 Red Alpinist when I had a chance.

I waffled back and forth between buying or not but ultimately passed on this one when it came out and do regret it now.

I missed out on the Direnzo DRZ02 Aerolite this past July. I regret missing out on this.

·

SLA017. Remorse deleted when the SJE093 came out.

·

The Bodega G-shock square went pretty quickly. Should've picked it up.

I very nearly (and should have) bought an Omega Railmaster about 5 years ago when I was starting to get serious with watches. At the time I thought it too much to spend on a single watch. Regretted it ever since.

You’re a 100% right about the fact that the flipping business model is not gonna disappear. But, it makes me feel better not to support it.

Wow, I just took a look at the watch. I’m sorry you missed it. It has a great design, the cushion case always gets me, and the integrated bracelet looks cool too, but it’s the dial that I find the most fascinating and attractive.

Image

Yeah, I wanted the orange dial.

I bought the white Hodinkee one. The old round one. Turns out I don't like those. I don't know if I'll keep it or flip it. I may visit Canaveral and Kennedy Space Station this summer, so maybe I'll wear it.

I don’t think I like those either… That’s why I don’t gravitate towards the Ed Sheeran collab. The color I like, I just can’t see myself wearing such a bulky watch. Were it be the case of the 5600… totally different story. That seems like a great opportunity to connect with the watch. Give it a try and see if it sticks.

It is reaaaally good looking. I’m impressed.

I love G Shocks, but only the square models and the Casioak. I have tried several round models, and they are too large both in diameter and in thickness for my taste.

You might check our the Galapagos Foundation Tortoise model if you like the yellow color of the Ed Sheeran G Shock.
