I actually agree with this for the 5xxx g-shocks. The square G's look strange on nato.

Other models look fantastic with the adapters though.

If you want a comfy strap for a square g-shock, just get the strap from the GW-5000. It's a much, much softer and better strap than any of the other 5xxx watches and it fits all of them. the combi-bracelet is also great.

Question for you all:

How do you go about balancing your love of a certain aesthetic of watch vs. brand stuff?

I mean as much as I don't care for a lot of microbrands, a lot of them do make very nice LOOKING throwback designs, which are far easier to get your hands on than say an actual vintage Rolex/Blaupanc etc.

I mean those watches are for the most part going to be terrible re-sale wise, and since they're all using off the shelf movements you're basically trusting small companies without the infrastructure/support of bigger ones and paying for the look/feel.

If you do buy microbrand stuff, how do you think about it?

While I agree with this, it's hard to make the same video over and over again (unless you're Archie).

I also agree that instead of having a drawer full of shitters which you lose money on and/or throw away, investing that into ONE fine timepiece for life is the better option.

I mean fuck, even just a couple of thousand for a TAG or something that you take care of is a better choice.

MOTFM is not only a meme watch at this point, but I honestly believe it’s a really boring looking watch with cheap hands that people dickride just because it went to the moon.

I’m also not really a fan of the Daytona ever since I saw a few in person and tried them on. There’s just something really cheap looking about the dial.
