Normally not into Casios, but...

Ok, I'm at a friend's son's wedding, talking to a guy. I notice his watch. It's a Casio. But not a modern one. One from the 80s. He had 2 back then, loved them, paid $49 each. Had one stolen, lost one to water damage. Has two more now. This one and an identical one. Ebay purchases. One for $500, one for $2000. Yup, two grand for a "classic" Casio calculator watch from the 80s.

No accounting for the tastes of a collector.

I wouldn't be caught dead with that on my wrist (classic or not) much less pay $2k for it. But to each their own as long as they're happy.

Hahaha, what did he say when you said you wanted to take a pic of his watch? I guess he was happy at the interest in his prized piece but still...

As with anything, if someone asks if they can take a picture of something you love and collect, they're almost always thrilled with the idea.

I actually was struck by the retro-coolness of the watch. Not something I'd buy, but he'd not buy a Breitling for the same reason. Everyone has their own taste, obviously! It was good to cause a fun conversation, something good for everyone.

He might buy this Breitling:

He really should upgrade. To the Binary Watch:
