The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Matt]

Loving this one too…

I love my watch but it's not a G-Shock…feel like I shouldn't post

Don’t be silly.  We’ll move to PM to make fun of you.

The skater punk store at the mail, Buckle, has this set up…

And while I’d likely never wear this configuration…

I’d happily wear this one all day long…

Phew, that's a relief

The solar/Bluetooth 2100 comes out in June for about $150.  Call me crazy but I’m feeling the yellow…

Incoming! Pretty excited about it.

That’s a little intimidating.  Are you sure you have the right thread?

Compared to those G-Shocks, the Aqua Terra is indeed "Less Intimidating"!

ihsh-318-red Works well with the modern bond strap on an omega seamaster (garmin face ️)!

[Matt]

It doesn’t get much less intimidating than this relic…

[Matt]

Love this…

I'm a sucker for a Seiko

Nice strap! Custom?

Definitely hand-stitched!

Yes!! I had this one made for me as I wanted dark green stitching. Nearly cost as much as the watch though! But it totally transformed it

Did a similar thing on my Seiko 5 with a Pinion Cordovan strap. Also cost as much as the watch [emoji38]

GST-B500.  I got it on eBay.  It appears to be legit though I’ve never handled a G-Steel so I have no frame of reference.  It’s solar and BT enabled though it’s not an option on the app yet because it’s not out in the states.  The manual is also exclusively in Japanese so I’m winging it with some features for now.

I also got a watch case to better hide my new collection from my wife. I made sure there was room for the other one I got in eBay that’s in its way as well as the one I’m currently bidding on.
