Hey, if Tags float your boat, that's all that matters. Looks like Bay is selling them for around $1500. For that kind of change, my personal choice would be looking at buying a vintage Omega Seamaster or Longines.

I bought my first watches from the Bay last month, probably the first time I've shopped at the Bay in 20 years. I bought three G-Shocks that were on sale @ Market Mall because they actually threw them all in a bin so I could touch and see them. I hate looking at watches behind glass. Lesson learnt though, inverted LCD watches are impossible to tell the time on. They were good deals at 40% off that one Saturday (even beats Amazon) but I am thinking about returning at least 2 of them. The GA-100 is going back for sure because I can't read the damn screens even when indoors.

I'm probably keeping the GLS-5600CL-5 G-LIDE because it came with an integrated 22-24mm strap adapter which is actually OEM instead of 3rd party. I did order Jay & Kay's bullbars for it as well and that's coming in the mail. It's also a rare module for the 5600 style because it's designed for low-temperatures so I guess that makes sense for Canada? I guess they wanted people to take these hiking and snowboarding?





I figured I needed some G Shocks in the line-up since I have a ton of automatics and dress watches so I needed something for sports, outdoors, construction, moving, etc. that was rugged. I'm still looking for the perfect G Shock.
