Because at that point it's not about spending your money sensibly, it's about showing off and indulging yourself. Japanese brands are still seen as too sensible for that mentality, so people still spring for other luxury brands. Doesn't mean it isn't retarded though.

Do you people ever stop for a moment and consider what meaningless marketing horseshit is spewing from your mouth?

If you want "mechanical advancement" then that's probably going to be a spring drive which you already rejected out of hand for no reason or some other ridiculous overengineered shit like a Lange Zeitwerk or one of those atrocious Urwerk things or a literally useless tourbillon but you'll need about 10 times your budget for that.

At one point they were pretty cheap Milgauss homages(in the ballpark of 20 bucks I think?), and they even could tell the time with enough accuracy to most.

I've come to like this modest-ish size (40mm w/ bezel and tiny lugs)

though I also like my 52mm g-shock and "lump of steel" 110 case amphi
>>
>>51571144
I've met three types of g-shock users

trendy folk who want a colorful watch, possibly to match with their outfit or just otherwise
nerds who enjoy the utilitarianism
and people who do sports or work in such an environment that they need a rugged watch, these people tend to not wear theirs all the time

actually, some also get one for the mandatory military training here, but those people tend to prefer even cheaper digital watches
>>
>>51572509
Yeah, I pulled my military service thru with terrorist casio. I figured busting up a cheap watch would matter less to me than losing more expensive g-shock.

You know, that analogy doest actually work as well as you think. The problem is that Japanese luxury car brands typically have clearly inferior styling and driving dynamics to the Europeans, while GS styling is at least on an equal footing with Swiss watches in the same genre.

It's true. The styling parameters for watches in the tool watch/dressy watch border are pretty narrow:

Applied stick indices, 36-40mm, date window optional, no day window, Guilloche or sunburst dials optional, polished bezels, no rotating bezels, alternating polished and brushed finishes.

Hell the GS auto diver is the same deal. The stylistic constraints of the genre are narrow enough that we aren't comparing Lexus and Mercedes here.

>Magnification is way too low.
as in power or placement? looking down looks properly aligned.

and the seconds line up perfectly, and even the bezel clicks line up perfectly, which surprised me.

the only reason i want to clean it up is the fact when i wind it up it appears to line up as good as my SNK, so hopefully it would be as accurate.

and "how bad" is the printing? because its flaking or because it's just shit.

not having the crown for the last 5 years probably helped it deteriorate.


but ill give you everything else, thanks for the info
since there's so much wrong with it, i don't mind modding the fuck out of it, and doing it myself at that.

Check the hole where the second hand is punched - in the photos it does not look properly centred.
>and "how bad" is the printing? because its flaking or because it's just shit.
A bit of both, I'd say - wrong font on a few things, proportions seem off and flaking isn't helping.
