Disher Posted April 12, 2018 Share Gents and ladies - I'm parting with one of my G-Shocks. Its the Casio Riseman ABC (altitude, barometer, compass) - stunning watch. Rugged and good looking. In excellent condition. Solar powered face so never needs a battery. All paperwork and boxes. Asking R 3,500.00 Please call me at zero eight two 454 one three nine 7. Johannesburg (fourways area) - Reason for selling is that its not needed and my arms are getting a bit short to easily read the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT333zBlLYY Not My video - but a good indication of what it looks like. Not to be confused with the entry level Gshocks available.

Delarey Posted April 15, 2018 Share Awesome timepiece.What was your reasoning to go with the Fifty fathoms instead of the usual Rolex sub? My main gripe with Rolex is that it is too mainstream. When you see someone wearing a Sub you have probably a 10% chance that the person is a horologist. With the Blancpain that probably goes up to 95%.The other factor is comfort. I like the bigger watches, which mean the only Rolex I ever considered was the Sea-Dweller deepsea. I like the look a lot, but it must be the most uncomfortable watch ever made. I used to have a IWC Big Piot, and as much as I liked that, it was also never a comfortable wearer. The Blancpain is similar size but way more comfortable. Both the IWC and BP are excellent for connecting with other horologists on airports and at conferences Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/110240-what-watch-are-you-wearing/page/137/#findComment-3304280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding the principles of "the law of diminishing returns" is after all a qualifying criteria on a cycling forum. I feel so much more at home amongst people with totally illogical passions than with people without. The watch forums actually have even more of those nutters than the HUB...
