Casio G-Shock MT-G MTG1100-1A Watch
Casio opens a new MT-G door with a hardcore techy looking watch that steps in the room punching and glistening with impressive watch-ular (new made up word) curves. The new model MTG1100-1A looks like the love child of Robocop's cybernetic innards and an industrial crane. Just looking at the dial it is hard to appreciate all that the watch does, or it. It is easier to take the piece apart by function or feature to fully appreciate a watch like this.First, the MT-G watches in the G-Shock line have always been close to the top in terms of quality and durability. They are really only topped by lines such as the MR-G, that have cases done in DLC. The watch has a number of "hidden features" that aren't so much functions, but make the watch that much less something you need to worry about. It gives me the opportunity as well to discuss again the Casio "Tough Movement" (on the watch as "Tough MVT"). These can be found in some newer analog Casio watches. The point of them is to be self correct

Scammed on a Planet Ocean
Will address this in the bad guys sections as well, but thought those on the Omega forum should know. Me and at least 3 others (that we know of) have been scammed by Matt Z on Timezone for $1800 on a PO. He gets your $$, sends a package USPS with tracking to a wrong address, and then vanishes. We're working on the legal/criminal side of it at this point, but wanted all to be aware. I know what they say- always buy the seller.... but it still sucks to think you've done your homework and still get screwed.Bobps. here's my post from yesterday before I knew the bad news... Great watch! I'm jealous- I bought one 1 1/2 weeks ago from a forum member, only to have it delivered to the wrong city, so it was returned to sender (which makes me nervous, but I'm staying glass half full for the moment). Just was returned today per tracking, so hopefully it'll go back out to the CORRECT address this time and I'll have it by Tuesday- here's to fingers crossed!!!

Incoming!!!!!! My 2nd Patek !!!!
Thanks to all the enablers and eyeing this watch on TRF (and even trying one on at the GTG) I now own my 2nd Patek! I was just making a routine call/ check in to my local AD to see if he had gotten this watch in (it's never in stock) and low and behold, one had arrived this afternoon. I hurried down to the dealer and tried it on. I was planning on waiting until the fall or Christmas to purchase, but once it was on my wrist there was no way I could leave without it.

Vintage or ?
Would anyone care to second my great reservations over this piece?? Patek.jpgPatek2.jpg

Aaron Faber
Aaron Faber Gallerys is a rip-off.They have a website: Aaron Faber clearly engages in highly questionable disreputable business practices:For instance, Aaron Faber offer, for nominal annual fee a so-called Collectors Club which allegedly offers a range of services to the serious collector. Arron Faber want people to pay a so called nominal annual fee for privileges that are basically worthless.Ed Faber touts himself as some kind of legend. However, his reputation based on excellent reliable sources is highly questionable. From a bona fide customers perspective he engages in the most ruthless of sharp business practices.From a bona fide customers perspective Ed Faber of Arron Faber engages in the most ruthless of sharp business practices treating his customers with total contemptible disrespect.In my opinion, I would seriously caution anyone to stay away......well away of Aaron Faber. I personally know someone who has been taken down by Ed Faber and Aaron Faber to the tune of tens of
