Bought this cutie over the weekend: G-Shock GA-B2100C-9AER

Have you tried a proxy service like Buyee? I've heard good things about them and plan on trying the service.

Yeah, a negative display is a deal breaker for me.

I agree, that part is really cool. I just can't justify the purchase of another mechanical watch unless it blows me away.

You aren't boring us. All that matters is that you enjoy them.

For me it's my beloved Explorer I. I bought this watch for me, to achieve a life goal. I honestly never thought I'd own one. Plus, in the three months I've owned it, no one has noticed or said anything. This watch makes me happy.

"Being able to purchase this BEAUTIFUL Tudor Pelagos 39 watch at such a young age was a huge moment for me. I've been obsessed with watches for a very long time and this felt like a very important life milestone achieved.

I will forever remember the moment of showing this new watch to my family for the first time, and how excited (and proud) they were, knowing how much I love watches, that I was able to achieve this."

This, this is why I love watch collecting and why WatchCrunch is my favourite watch forum. That you've achieved this milestone (grats on doing it at 25, btw) and that your family are excited and proud truly make me happy. Wear it in good health, post lots of photos and keep us informed of your collecting journey. 😎👍

This is insane

$1,699. For a plastic watch with a disposable automatic movement. This is just nuts.
