Casio G Shock Men¡äs Watch Master of G Oversized

Archimede Outdoor watch
The newest watch from German Archimede is the Outdoor. It is an evolution on some past designs and fits a very specific purpose. To understand the Outdoor you need to look back to a watch that I believe was the thematic influence for the Outdoor, the Timex Camper. These are meant to be outdoors friendly timepieces that are easy to read and durable. They are not meant to be much more, and sit in a sort of functional minimalist category.Size is 38.5mm wide in nice looking lugless steel case. It is rather thin at just 10.6mm thick. The case and watch is meant to be light for a steel watch. According to Archimede, the watch is 120 grams on the metal bracelet, and 70 grams on the leather strap. This is for active people don't want a heavy watch and don't want to wear a plastic watch. In a nutshell, this is a German daily beater that won't complain when you beat it up.The case has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. The black dial has white text for very high contrast. T

Dilemma
I was just at the Mall and after dropping in and out of Tourneau in record time I stopped at a smaller ,less pretentious,store that also carries Hamiltons.Seems business isn't so hot so they are selling Hamiltons at 40% off.Upon closer inspection I also noticed that the MSRP's on the watches I saw were still at the older prices.I kind of like the Khaki Action on a black leather strap.I could have it for 327.00.Very tempting,but I still can't warm up to that crown guard thing!!Might be a blessing in disguise!

Do you check accuracy on your watches?
As you may know I started with Rolex used to be,3135 and especially the 4130 mvmnt is pretty accurate if well regulated and staying so for years.My 5712 w the cal 240 was okay initially 1-2s/day but seems we are after the honeymoon phase ,during the day is very accurate but it does 5sec w dial up overnight and 1-2s if left on crown up or down.You may say it s time to regulate however i m afraid we talk about weeks for a simple regulation job-which is about 5minutes if you bring a Rolex to the RSC-.:-(Any experience with the rate stability of Pateks ?do you think it s better to live with it and wait for a couple of months to see if it s getting worse.Thanks for your input

Birks @ Yorkdale (Toronto) no longer an AD
Hi, just an FYI, I called Birks last week to inquire about a 233 and hopefully get some kind of discount. I was hoping that since the boutique is opening that they'd be more willing to deal with some competition coming. However, I didn't hear back for almost a week from the sales lady as she was trying to secure and R model for me. When I called last night to follow up, I was told that they no longer carry Panerai. I inquired further to say I only called last week and how that was rather sudden. She agreed it was and stated that they got a communication from Panerai on Monday saying that Panerai was pulling their watches and that they were no longer an AD. This was due to the boutique opening in the same mall later this year. So, can anyone tell me what type of discount percentage do other Panerai boutique offer if any?TxEverett

Incoming - First Rolex!
After several months of internal debate, I finally pulled the trigger on a GMT-IIc. I can't wait to take pictures when it arrives.To those with a GMT, is there anything I should know beforehand that I may have not heard about? Thanks.
