Nice watches. Q&Q is a subsidiary of Citizen that makes affordable mass market entry level watches of decent quality.

Rest assured, these will last you a long time.

Would anyone please point me to a good watch repair shop in Bangalore for a Swatch without back cover. The authorised repair shop won’t do it, instead they offered a discount for a new purchase. My watch looks like the one in this pic below.

@roshithr Try Shekhar watch company which is in Utility Building Premises on MG Road

These watches are barely worth their MRP and not a paisa above. I got this at retail in Houston. Steady stock trickles in without warning every week. The grey market prices are obscene !

Independence day special - HMT Janata on brown leather strap

New purchase alert! Got hold of the Mission to Moon. Bought it from the Zurich Airport Swatch Shop during transit. It's a lightweight watch and doesn't look like it would be able to take much beating hence will have to be worn carefully!

Got myself a 'Midnight Fog' GM-2100, the Metal Casioak! Now I have a diver in Seiko SRPG47K and a G-Shock, would like to add a Tissot PRX to my small collection.

That's such a beautiful colour! Congratulations!

If you don't mind sharing, how much did it cost and where did you buy it from? Google throws up 2 websites for Casio India - casioindiashop.com and casio.com/in. So a bit confused as to which is the official portal for buying casio watches online.

Thank you! I got it for 13500 from swisstimehouse.com, they are offering 1500 discount on first purchase. Everywhere else it is listed at its original MRP, i.e., 14995.

casioindiashop.com is their official online store, while casio.com/in is just their official site for information.

Thanks for the nudge. I also got one from the Casio India online store a couple of days ago.

Model number is GA-B2100-1ADR. It's one of the rare G-Shock models that doesn't look too big on my scrawny wrist.

Oh the B2100, congratulations! I contemplated getting this instead of the GM-2100, but I wasn't sure about Casio's android app. Do let us know what you think of the connectivity and the functionality of the app.

Picked couple of bands from Titan store today. One for HMT janata and the other for vintage Orient auto.

It's fantastic, congratulations.

Very tempted, and nearly got one! Would have, if it was just a wee bit smaller.

Spent a solid chunk of time trying this model and the origin series DW-5600 on-wrist at the store, before going with the latter for its smaller footprint. My childhood partiality to digital has returned in full force.

Folks, sorry for OT here. I have a 40% discount coupon for Citizen watches through Cred. Let me know if anyone needs it and I will share. Please pm me.

Thank you!

I know exactly what you mean. Even though I wasn't sure how it would look on my thin wrist, I took a leap of faith and ordered it. Thankfully, it doesn't look too oversized.

Ditto. Am a big fan of Casio timepieces. This is my 3rd one, in addition to the 2 below - the DW-5600E-1VDF and the F-91W-1Q .
