A WIS is a WIS...
...even with a Casio on his wrist!


I have met unique individuals and made incredible friendships through our GTGs. It is always a pleasure meeting a fellow WIS anytime, anywhere...even if he wears a G Shock!!!

Thank you for your time, kneedeep; enjoy the city and safe travels!!!

Then why take the risk of a GTG? Sounds like it´s not reasonably safe, since you can only guess.

















P.S. Facetious.

A G-shock was worn. That can only mean danger. I’m surprised Gerardo braved it with his sub.

Indeed. A friend collects Hamiltons, he is one of the biggest WIS I have ever known.

Absolutely agree... some of the most interesting conversations about watches have been with people wearing Seiko divers, affordable g shocks, etc...

Granted, I am the one wearing the Seiko divers and affordable g shocks, but nonetheless

But on a more serious note, while shopping at IKEA, I saw one of the sales reps wearing a 16750 and we had a great conversation on vintage Rolex... He was quite knowledgable... I wonder if he is a member of the forum

Thanks, G! Always a pleasure to get together. My trip this week was way better than yours cause I was enjoying your city and you were out scrounging survival meals in the boonies! Safe return, my friend. PS - I'm still disappointed that Steven wouldn't trade me even .
