Casio Edifice EQS-500DB-1A2 Wrist Shot

I've been neglecting this one for quite a while. I've put it on a brown leather strap I have lying around and it does look pretty good like this.

Bad Luck Today

Hit some bad luck with my new Casio Edifice EQS-500DB-1A2. I snagged it against a door catch and bent the spring bars, which came apart from the watch case and it fell onto the floor.

Fortunately, however, there aren't any scratches on the watch itself, surprisingly, since when it fell, it landed on the bracelet side, on a smooth tile floor. Even the bracelet didn't show much of a scratch, I am extremely lucky. The only damage on the case appears to be very tiny scratches on the side of the impact, which looks like wear against the bracelet anyway. Needless to say, Casios are tough.

I will be heading over to my watch guy for some new spring bars. 

Sorry for the bad pics, evening pics with iPad..

Watches for My Wife's Nephew & Niece

Two digital watches for children, ages 6 & 8. The brand is "LSH" we got from our local clock & watch store - very cheap, and with backlighting, alarm and chronograph functions, and will entertain the kids for a while... hopefully this will kickstart their interest in watches... oh yeah.

Casio Edifice EQS-500DB-1A2

 

I just bought this...

I know it's another Casio, but damn, these Edifice are like Nissan GTRs in car terms... Japanese, high tech, full of features long lasting and just freakin' awesome in that sense.

I do like the charm of mechanical watches, but basically I like all watches. I got this one mainly because I got a good deal out of it and it's solar. It's a large watch, at about 46mm across but surprisingly, it fits rather well and doesn't feel like there is a heavy watch on my wrist. It should fit well in more formal occasions.

I'll take more complete pictures later, but enjoy this one pic from me and the video below I found on Youtube.

Oh and lastly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
