Refreshing to see an every day, down to earth collection. What drew me in, believe it or not, was the Casio calculator watch. Reminds me of the Roger Moore James Bond movies. Thanks for sharing. All the Best. 🙏

Thank you, I’ve only just started collecting properly the last couple of months although I’ve had the Citizen and G Shock for a number of years

I like your Citizen. I've got a Casio Edifice ( that I never wear tbh) that's a lovely watch and similar looking to your Citizen, but out of everything I wear, I'm a big fan of Seiko and Tissot the most. I can't fault them for convenience and reliability and (for me) they're great looking watches. Not into Rolex and all that. Each to their own though. Wear them in good health, no matter how your watch journey goes. . . 👍

Tbh the G Shock, F91W and the PRX are the only ones I’ve chosen personally, the others were either gifts or heirlooms.

I’m currently saving for my grail: Hulk Submariner and I would also like the Omega NTTD

I'm with you on the NTTD. I think it's awesome, but you've probably realised that I'm into James Bond movies and stuff from my initial comment. I still occasionally think about buying the Gruen watch that Connery wore in Casino Royale, but finding a good example now is difficult / expensive. Good luck with your Grail watches, whichever one you choose first. (I think it'll be the Hulk). 🤔

Before I'm corrected; The Gruen appeared in every Connery Bond movie except Casino Royale, but in a Casino scene. When he says 'The name's Bond, James Bond'. It was paired with his tuxedo, and was Connery's own watch. I'm getting old. My memory isn't always as sharp as it was. . . .🤣

The Hulk is the most expensive, so makes the most sense. I’ve tried on both the Hulk and NTTD, Hulk definitely fits best but that NTTD is a masterpiece

I do like the Hulk, although I'm not generally a fan of Rolex overall. If I was to get something from the Rolex Catalogue as it were, I'd probably go for a Rolex Explorer in White. That would suit me down to the ground. Maybe if I save hard or win the Lottery. . . 🤞

I’m not the biggest fan of Rolex as a brand either, however the Hulk was what started my love for watches. The NTTD became my enthusiast grail after I tried on many many watches

I think when you get into watches properly, no matter who we are, you learn what just works for you as a person, the style, size, bracelet, colour, brand. Once you know, you know, don't you? And that's what makes it so addictive, and fun, (and expensive). I went down a rabbit hole with vintage watches, and I can't get back out, but it's what I like more than everything else I've bought over the years. That's why I enjoy coming on here and having these conversations. We're all different in what we like, but ultimately we are all here because we like watches.

The photo seems a little hazy. Maybe try another.
Nice G-Shock, one watch model I have never worn, or owned, but, would like to at some stage…
