Opening my watch cabinet this morning I spotted one tucked far in the back, my oldest G, DW5200, that I picked up in the fall of 1984 at an electronics store on Lexington Avenue in mid-town Manhattan. Sitting on top of the cabinet is my newest G, GWM5610, that I received from Amazon two weeks ago.

I pick up some of my most inexpensive watches (Casio and Timex) at my local WalMart, which is just two blocks from my home. What they stock is pretty competitive in price with Amazon. Their stock turns over fairly frequently, but the display case is always well stocked, and as you can see, there's room for quite a few watches.
