Anyone had experience with this website? Casio Oceanus S100

This is on shoppinginjapan.net’s website. I think it’s an okay deal as I can’t find any NEW Casio Oceanus S-100 online other than one that said it’d take 2 months for delivery.
Just wondering if I should pull the trigger or if people know of somewhere else I can buy an S100 online NEW?
I’m located in Spain so that shipping cost above was for there.

Thanks a bunch!

Current watch collection goal

This is my current watch collection goal and am wondering if I’m missing anything or if I should make it 10 watches instead.

I currently own the SKX-013 and the vintage Longines.

  1. Seiko SKX 013 as a daily beater (Automatic)
  2. Casio Oceanus S-100 another daily beater (Quartz) but more accurate, nicer finish and crystal than the SKX.
    3.Longines vintage dress watch. Just for dressier special occasions. (Manual-wind)
  3. Farer World Timer Foxe Gold (World Timer) great for travel and just a beautiful watch.
  4. Longines Zulu Time (GMT) great all-rounder watch but the most expensive so am more careful when I would wear it.

The other watches I’ve had on my radar are:

- Casio Oceanus manta s-400 (would only have this or s-100
- Frederique Constant Slimline - navy dial
- Citizen alarm date black dial
- Bulova super Seville
- Seiko kotobuki - vintage
- Seiko vanac vintage
- Seiko king Seiko vintage
- Seiko advan vintage

The image is just an example but I made it on chat gpt so the watches all look slightly off.

Would love to hear your suggestions or recommendations!

[Casio Oceanus] Which one to buy?

Trying to decide between these two watches.
I work on boats and constantly am covered in sweat, dirt, salt etc. I love the look of the S100 (left) more than the Mantra S400 but I love the sapphire bezel on the S400 and that it would be more durable if I have rope dragging over it or other rough materials.

Is it worth getting the Mantra even though it’s a bit more expensive.
Does the S100 bezel scratch quite easily?

Also I’ve seen these are available to buy on BuyJPP and Sakura Watches but the import taxes are something like 20% to Spain. Is there a way to purchase these in Europe or import them without crazing taxes?

Thanks a bunch guys!

Which Casio G-Shock to buy?

Currently deciding between GBM-2100A-1A2ER and Gst-B600D-1Ajf but also open to other options.

I work on boats and am looking for a tough g-shock that isn’t an eye sore and can still be worn in a professional environment in which I need to look presentable.

I’m not looking for a super bulky g-shock as it will get in the way and my wrists are fairly small-medium sized. (Plus I prefer smaller watches).

My day to day consists of being covered in sweat, dirt, salt, chemicals and I’m out in the sun all day.

If I went with the B600D I would probably put it on a nice rubber strap as it would suit my job more but I’d use the bracelet for more formal events.

I was also interested in the GBX-H5600-2 but it’s a bit less aesthetically pleasing and I’ve heard the transparent cases can go yellow which in my line of work sounds like it’ll happen rather fast.

Would love to hear peoples constructive opinions or other possible watch brands that may suit me.

It’ll be my first g-shock but I’ve owned several Casios and loved them.

Thanks!
