New submariner? Blue?

[Leongsam]

Have to say my fav among the new pieces here is the two tone blue

I'm willing to bet that very few of those that own a submariner actually know how to use the rotating bezel. Even fewer will understand why it can only rotate counter clockwise.

Nothing fancy about the uni directional bezel of a submariner.

what’s more interesting is the GMT hand in the gmt master ii. Even fewer knows how to adjust that gmt or how to use it.

GMT hand is London time. Everything else follows from there.

If it were to rotate bi-directional, it would increase the rate of wear and tear. And that's not good.

Are you a PAP supporter or you work with them a lot? you pay attention to these people quite a lot. Wanna check what underwear they are wearing?

Sorry I am not another John Tan. If I can call him Pinky, you seriously think that I am their supporters? He's earning tons of money every year. So I am just curious if he splurges a little on items like watches, or he is just like his wife, who carries a dirt cheap bag and wearing sandals in public.

I am humble and would love to own a Casio.

The G-D5000-9JR comes in a limited edition of only 35 pieces, and is priced at ¥7.7 million JPY (approximately $69,500 USD) at current exchange rate. If you want one you’d better hurry!

This is Casio's reboot of an icon on its 35th anniversary. It's like one of those gold ak47s, Zippos or Harley Davidsons.

The GMT is bi directional so why is the submariner only unidirectional in an ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction. It has nothing to do with wear and tear.

I read somewhere that Rolex themselves admitted that days of toolish mechanical diver watches are over.

“The brand also noted that basic steel instrument-like dive watches such as the Rolex Submariner were essentially useless in today’s age of dive computers“

So the uni directional bezel going anti clockwise is just as useless ditto with the the tachymeter on the Daytona.

Nobody NEEDS a watch. They're there as objects of desire.

It’s like asking why u go and buy Nike shoes? Why can’t wear Bata or even worse some pasar malam crap? U wear it because it looks good.

So stop harping on that anti clockwise uni directional bezel. It’s useless anyways

I'm not harping on it I was just pointing out the fact that most of those who own dive watches because they like the look of that fancy ceramic bezel don't have a clue how to use it.

actually for everyone who says Rolex is expensive, they don’t understand the economics of it.

For example, now I buy a Rolex submariner first about $12,000

My friend then decides to buy a Seiko for $120.

After 10 years, the submariner will be worth at least $15k. The Seiko will be worth $60. So who got the more expensive watch in the long run?

My OP Date was bought for $850. It is now worth more than $7000.

Exactly my point. The expensive Rolex might seem expensive at first, until u realize that 10 years later, someone is going to pay u extra for wearing that watch.

I was only kidding lah. Uni-drectional because got to know drive time, air tank monitoring. For safety reason, it only permits one way tracking. GMT bezel is bi-directional for easier time zone adjustments.

Actually Casio market this like some precious gem. I do not understand. Honestly, this watch doesn't give the luxury vibe to me. The MT-R has more luxury vibe than this.
My impression of the G-D5000 is what i wore when i was in primary school.

This is a solid gold casio - not quite the one U wore to school
