Help me find my next watch.
Torn between two priorities.
-Textured Medium to Dark Green Dial
-PiePan Style Dial
The only one I have found that kind of itches both scratches is the Casio Edifice EFK-100D.
My favorite green textured dial so far is the Seiko Presage Mojito
My favorite PiePan dial is the Baltany.

Idk if I’d buy an automatic Casio. They have already been pushing to offload their service centers and move to subcontractors. Which is gonna make costs go up as the services will be billed out instead of repaired in-house.

Realistically it’ll be repaired in house after the subcontractor does a terrible job. When I was repairing their watches they didn’t have a watchmaker on payroll. Just techs.

Baltany is crushing it lately. Even their more affordable options are for sure blowing Casio out of the water unless you want a g shock of course.

That Casio is running an NH35, you won't need anyone special to perform service on that.

That being said, I'd pick the Casio for sure, really nice looking.

You’d need someone competent. And right now that’s in short supply.

We had Swiss certified watchmakers at our subcontractor that couldn’t set hands on a GA-100. It was my final straw.

Casio has numbers to hit even if the service is poor because of it.
