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

            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. 😬

                        Well, I have others.

                          It’s my first gold (colored) watch.  I’m pretty fancy now.

                            Those steel G-Shocks have my attention.

                            Question: How does collecting your watches in one place mitigate wife-ageddon? Makes them harder to find, put when they are found you’re pinned like frog on the dissection table.

                            Here’s that awesome cordovan strap with a cheap watch attatched to it that I mentioned earlier.

                              Seiko have just launched their King Seiko model (which I think sits somewhere between the regular and Grand Seiko ranges) with a funky purple dial. Note too the lack of a date window.

                              It'll retail for €1850 (so probably a similar dollar amount), and be available from their boutiques in July. More details at Monochrome.

                                    I’ve been spying that set, super cool @Matt But which to wear for the big IH party?
                                    Since there have been a lot of G’s around lately, I wanted to post this one again.

                                    Same movement as in my MRG but 30% of the cost. Super lightweight, functional, and LOUD. Of all the watches I own this one earns the most complements.

                                      @Anesthetist that gorgeous, thanks for sharing.

                                      Don’t for a second think I haven’t been lying awake at night thinking about what to bring to Gosport.  G-Shock included.
