Casio Watches for Billionaires, presidents & popes

Good value watches to wear ... not showy .
They don't try to impress
Good enough for billionaires ... so should be good enough for me.

There are 3 types of watch signals
1. status
2. Role /Identity - 
   eg  G-shock (Soldier) ,  diver's watch(DURO) or a marine biologist (MRW200)
3. No signal... don't care what people think
