    Love that there's a less intimidating watch thread! I've just seen this for the first time. I'm a little obsessed with watches and have spent the last few years getting into them and buying, trading, etc. It's a beautiful hobby no matter what your budget.

            @goosehd Thanks mate! Already on that one! Just glad there's one for people getting into, it's so nice that people can ask advice as there's a lot of pitfalls in watch collecting.

              @Matt I had it custom made for me. Two of my favorite colors!

                I also picked up the Mission to Mars Moonswatch but waiting on a better strap before posting that guy - hate the nato style strap it comes on so bulky and cheap looking.

                  @Mr-Linz I didn’t know you could custom order G-Shocks. Is that something new?

                    @goosehd It's not OEM, that would be amazing! I'd get so many made lol. There's a whole community online of people who customize watches, normally Seiko's and Casio's. This one was done by a fella in Singapore who does this as a hobby, he's very talented. He's called David Tan Chee Yong and his handle is gshock_art on insta if you're curious...

                      @Mr-Linz Very cool and something I’ll look into…I’ve had a few G-shocks over the years and this could be a fun project.

                      Thank you!

                        @goosehd Dude it's a lot of fun! There's so many way to go. It's a rabbit hole. To get specific and overly detailed - I prefer a smaller watch, I have a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist and mostly wear 40mm and less watches. So I specifically wanted the ladies size casioak (which is still pretty large at 43mm) but feels better on my wrist. So I had to find a guy who could repaint both hands and indices as the female version has nasty silver or gold ones. This dude was the only person I could find that could do it. Like I said... Rabbit hole!

                          Here’s the Moonswatch I was talking about with the upgraded rubber strap… !58817B82-8174-4CC0-BCD0-6C9D74BC9265.jpeg 97099266-5DBE-4DB6-8EA0-19A918C7E0CE.jpeg

                            Man, everyone hates on that stock strap. I love it. It’s got a Shark Leash vibe.

                              @Matt It's too bulky for my taste. Also the OEM white velcro will look nasty very quickly.

                                      @Memphisakers ok ok!! I actually could use a watch roll. Maybe a box. Not quite sure. But I’ve got three watches and they just sort of hang out in my closet “unhoused.”

                                        Also, I see you’re an Orient man, Josh…thoughts and opinions on the brand?

                                          I LOVE Orient watches! They have been in the business for over 100 years. They make in house hacking/hand winding auto movements that are extremely accurate. Also have a lot of interchangeable parts with seiko such as crystals/hand sets for customizing.
