Hope you’ll enjoy every second w your duro… Regarding GA B2100 , it’s a solid option , no arguing about that It’s the first time I’ve heard about HMTs , hope you’ll find a model that suits you
& no , I haven’t found a sub for watches here yet
Casio duro is an excellent option as a starter watch , a beater for around 50 bucks that can essentially do it all , can’t go better than that
If you’d like other watches , these are some of the ones That you might wanna consider : Casio gshock GA 2000/2100 (Casioak) , is a really trendy line with dozens of different color variations, I own the GA-2110ET-8AJF (grey one) & the ga2100srs-7a (the iridescent rainbow one) , this one is really funky & technically illegible in the sun due to its tinted glass , but it’s a really fun piece , both of them go for around 100$ usd
Another beater from casio that i’d recommend looking into is the casio dw290 v1 for 40 bucks , it looks funny but it’s more comfortable to use than other gshock watches i own , I wear when I know that I’m gonna have a long work day in our hospital prison ward or something , you know ,a watch that I don’t need to worry about
If you want a dressy quartz chronograph, I really liked the Timex Q chronograph with the brown leather strap for around 200 bucks
As for mechanical watches , there are a lot of options , but they usually require you to go above 150$ as a starter (there are some exceptions of course, & they require more care so maybe do your research before buying one if you’re new to watches
And if you needed anything or have any questions or just wanted to talk about watches , just hit me up , it’s a fun hobby, a money drain if you go too deep , but fun nevertheless …
Enjoy!
Hey , Iraqi here, I live in iraq , not that interested in the political situation but I’ll give an overview…
Stuff are pretty stable compared to bloody years like 2006-2008 As mentioned by some other people above , political truces are keeping everyone kinda calm with some outrage every now & then Infrastructure is still subpar , especially when it comes to electricity in peak summer temps that reach the high 40 celsius range Regarding countries that border us , Iran is as usual the one with most influence and control here , whether politically due to their connections with the major religious/ political Shia Parties or due to their stinginess with natural gas exports to us , which has an enormous effect since our electricity grid depends on it , as far as I understand at least Turkey are hurting us too with water since our two rivers originate from their land , they’re building dams and limiting the amount of water that comes to us , leading to drying down of many significant water bodies in the southern part of our country
