Casio Dee & Ricky G-Shock GA110DR-1A Watch
When I first learned about this new Dee & Ricky limited edition G-Shock watches, I was like WTF?! Not that I would wear it, but I can appreciate the culture that created it. The watch design really started in the 1980s, though the designs may not be aware of that. It was the time of Lego and bright colors, and when wearing wild hues was fashionable until the mid 1990s (when thankfully florescent colors went out). The lineage of the style also is related to 8 bit gaming. Nintendo brought bright colors before our eyes on a daily basis in blocky glory. This watch is the summation of an entire pop culture generation. Nerds with focus, geeks with passion.? Designers Dee & Ricky are New York born twins who are self taught and highly inspired by their youth. If this watch is at all questionable to you, then simply view the video they made below with direct and video artist Kenzo Digital (which will appeal to all Lego and G-Shock fans). Don't worry, the Casio part of it comes in later

26400IO Incoming!
After much deliberation, I pulled the trigger on the 44mm AP ROO Ti. It's big and bold as I anticipated but surprisingly comfortable and light on the wrist. Thanks to the all the members who gave me great advice and support. A mandatory wrist shot and a few side by side photos for reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reliability question
I have a question to all AP owners. How reliable is your AP? How often do you service your watch? Currently, I'm considering the AP diver and 15400. I'm a bit clumsy and can imagine scratching the bracelet on the 15400. I have always loved the diver and the classic genta design. Both watches transcend time. Which one do you prefer aesthetically? Anyone switch the straps on your diver or 15400? Picks please of both. Thanks for your input.

Getting ready to join the family...
I have been collecting watches for years and have quite a varied collection with everything from a $400 Hamilton to my YG Rolex GMT. I appreciate fine horology and have had my eye on acquiring an AP for quite some time but for one reason or another, the timing just didn't work out but I think I am ready to pull the trigger soon.The sticky on what to look for when purchasing a preowned AP was very informative and I believe gives great advice. I didn't realize how expensive a routine service was so even if you think you are getting a good deal, one has to figure in $2500-3500 for a service if the watch is around 5 years old.I think I have narrowed down my choices to a Safari ROO, ROC with a brown dial or a Rubber Clad with a white dial.I have read that the bezels are scratch magnets and costs a pretty penny to refinish which makes the rubber class seem like a nice choice but the cream dial on a Safari with that tan leather strap is such a great looking combo!

Solution to Flipping
I've been badly wanting to get an Explorer back in the collection to go with my black Explorer 2 (42 mil) and white Milgauss, but kind of sick of flipping. The solution....a trip to Michigan for Christmas and a one year trade with my twin brother. He took my white Milgauss in temporary trade for his Explorer. He's thrilled because his only Rolex ever was the Explorer. He loves it, but was excited to try another. Then I get an Explorer without losing any money! Bonus....both watches are perfectly sized.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
