I wore a Casio Databank for 20 years

Then someone said why are you wearing that plastic watch? I think you could do better! Things went downhill from there.

For some reason I'm wearing this more than anything right now, and I have several fine pieces to choose from

The 84 is the Japan Domestic Market version of the overseas market 91 (or vice versa), right?

People claim that these go for 8-10 years before you'll need a battery replacement.

You can order thousands of these for the price of a Rolex. Better plastic on the Casio. Can never get those darn stickers off the Rolex.
