I blame my buddy for this latest purchase

We'd be reminiscing about the Casios we had as kids and the G-Shocks we wore in the military and he went and got himself a Mudman. So I had to go get myself a G-Shock too!

Comes in a pretty cool tin!

Seeing the G-Shock automatically set itself to the correct time via the atomic time-keeping was really cool.

It glows! It's got lume on it!

And best of all the dial matches the Sterling Gray of the new ride

Now my buddy has decided he needs another G-Shock and we may just have started something very, very bad

HAGWE!

Definitely a watch for a purpose. Very nice, I am sure that can take a kicking and live to tell the tale.
Congrats

Congrats on the G-shock aujang!!!

I have not yet jumped into the G-Shock realm...but if I did, I suppose I would go for one along the lines of this one!!!!

I like the fact that this one has real lume on the dial and hands, and speaking of hands... a set of real analog hands to go along with all the digital G-Shock stuff!

That's a good looking piece and looks like it could take a real beating...enjoy!

Thanks Stew! There does not seem to be very much love for the ana-digi models among the hardcore G-Shock crowd but I like it. Having a pair of analog hands makes the transitioning from mechanical watches easier if that makes any sense at all hammer.gif
I do plan on a full digital G-Shock sometime down the road though. The Kool Aid is dangerous

The analog hands completely make sense to me aujang!!!...and if my memory serves me correctly, I think I remember reading that Casio implements aluminum hands on their analog hand models (which is pretty thoughtful and cool due to the lighter weight and higher stiffness that aluminum affords versus ss)...all the better to take a good beating...

......yes, the kool-aid is very dangerous indeed...

I did not know that about the aluminum hands.

Big Congrats on that Casio, Aujang

I like the design and profile. Seems a perfect watch a sniper would bring along with it's non-reflective skin.

Thanks Rusty. The watch is quite stealthy indeed.

Can't go wrong with a G-shock. I've only managed to kill off 2 in the past 25 years. May have to get another. Like some of the Pathfinders too. May have to get one of each down the road. Enjoy.

Congratulations on the "G" I have an old dw-290 that is still my "shop watch" I think I had it as far back as high schoo, maybe farther. It's interesting how old watches tell stories as well as they tell time!

Thanks Skipdawg. These G-Shocks are dangerously addictive
