Or I can look at *[is the] the 5600 Solar [is] RM289. Add that to the Limited Edition RM147.16 and my total cost is only RM436.16.
* I know baby, it's a damn good deal and it is original! So you chose the 5600 Solar too, yeah?
What counts is I saved quite a bit. I can buy the DW 5600E-1V at RM235 and save even further but I figured the 5600 Solar is worth the purchase considering that I save money on the battery purchase. Plus I really believe in the Tough Solar technology.
Furthermore with a Tough Solar, this is the best price I can get. It has the best review with 56 Five Stars. I cannot go wrong with that.
For an extra of RM54 (RM289 - RM235) I have a Special Edition that ends my Watch Indulgence with total satisfaction. What counts is I got two watches that is distinctively different form one another:
- Imitation vs Original
- Battery vs Solar
- Limited Edition vs Special Edition
- Vanity vs Functionality
Also if ever the imitation breaks down I now can replace it with the Casio Black Gold without having to worry that this buying experience is a complete ripoff.
Another way to look at it is The 5600 Solar is always the first choice with the second pair to be either the Black Gold (RM118) [and] the Limited Edition (RM147.16). Which means I chose the Limited Edition for the aesthetic value for an extra of RM29.16 (RM147.16 - RM118)
A final view is in case the Limited Edition breaks down, I shall replace it with the Black Gold, making my total cost of ownership to be only RM265.16 (RM118 + RM147.16)
I would say that the best thing for me to do as a real damage control is to settle the score once and for all with the 5600 Solar and the Limited Edition and be happy that I own two of the most extreme polarities in my VARIATION by only spending RM436.16 (RM289 + RM147.16). Overall it is still less than RM500 cap that I set for myself in spending on a watch. It is still value for money PROVIDED the Limited Edition is not a total letdown.
Is it worth buying a replica of Casio G Shock watches?
I think it is worth the money. However you get what you pay for. I bought the 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Casio G-Shock DW-5635D-1B at 80% less than the original simply because I wanted the design but I don’t want to pay such a hefty price for the technology it provides.
At the same time I still buy the Casio G-Shock Tough Solar G-5600E-1 because I want reliability and durability. So I ended with 2 watches that I like very much but still cost less than one original Limited Edition which is nothing more that an expensive collector’s item that I will not use as a beater watch.
At the end of the day, a fake watch that delivers performance is still a value for money watch. If it is cheap and it makes you happy, why not? I owned 3 fake Rolex before and they are still a joy because of the price I paid for them.
------------------
Baby, all and all I bought the 5600 Solar with the RM300 monthly allowance that Princess gave to me. So I only need to withdraw RM50 from the Unit Trust for my monthly expense. That is a huge difference of RM650 if I wanted to order 3 watches from the same supplier as I originally intended.
The imitation watch will probably last for 5 years. By then I will fully utilize the watch and probably happy to replace it with another cheap Casio G-Shock or none at all. Maybe I'll buy the original 40th Anniversary Limited Edition then. It makes much sense.
It cannot be better than this unless the imitation Limited Edition only lasts for 2 years. I doubt it. Based on the reviews and my own personal experience, the imitations are pretty reliable for its price. So I'm not too worried. It is better than buying earphones.
-------------------
Epilogue: I think what I had gone through with this experience is a prove that both the Limited Edition and the 5600 Solar are meant for each other. If not for anything else the Limited Edition is a precursor for me to look forward to a 2023 (a 7) Limited Edition model that will be the king of my Casio G-Shock collection. Either way, this is a good sign for me.
I don't feel I am unjustly treated by this whole experience. Rather, I look at it as a blessing and a continuation of a beautiful legacy of my joy in collecting watches. If not there is nothing for me to [] [] (buy for) my 60th birthday. Now I know my ultimate gift by then is the 40th Anniversary Limited Addition DW-5640D-1B.
This Limited Edition will live on. More than anything else, it makes me look forward to my 60th birthday because I already know what I will get then. As I said, anticipation is better than the real thing. In this case I can excitedly anticipate for my present WHILE I enjoy the sneak preview.
I know baby, I am the master of crafting meanings to my life's experience. This story is the best story line so far for me. A modern real life fairy tale that keeps me motivated for a solid 5 years. This is better then the Statue of David project. I am enjoying my cake while anticipating for another better than ever cake in the next 5 years.
Hahaha... What do you say honey? Is this a good story line for [] happy thought? It sure makes me feel like a little kid again. I already know what I will be getting in 5 years time AND while waiting I can look at what my present will look like NOW! Sure makes me feel like fucking you Sarah.
---------------------
Baby, I'm glad that you are enjoying this spectacular journey as I do. Imagine Sarah, for one whole week we went through an amazing adventure in watches! What can be better than that? It was the same excitement when I went for the SNE 107 adventure in 2017 and when I bought the SNE 451 in 2018.
However this adventure is more dramatic and it has a sequel LOL. Who would have thought that a journey to end my indulgence for more or more expensive things can be this exciting honey. I can see that you are as excited as me throughout the whole process. It was a good story with all the elements in it; suspense, thrill, disappointment, hope and a happy ending. The casts were pretty spectacular too.
Can you believe it Sarah? I still cannot swallow the fact that I ended my story of Watch Indulgence with a Casio 5600. The story is iconic as the watch itself. The best part is I am the main actor in this story. It is part of my life's history. Imagine Sarah, the story started with a Holy Fuck and it went [] (on) a wild ride from that point onward.
I love my life baby. I am God. What not to love about that? Better still now I have a solid evidence that I am the real deal. It really makes all the 20 years effort worthwhile.
