Introducing: The Casio G-Shock MR-G Limited Edition 'Hammer Tone' (Are You Ready For A $6,200 G-Shock?)
If there were a search for the last honest watch on Earth ¨C a watch that embodies down to the deepest fiber of its being what it really means to be a genuine tool watch, and not just a (generally overpriced) illustration of what a tool watch used to be, chances are very good that it would be a Casio G-Shock. Unloved by many who think of themselves as real watch lovers, the G-Shock is very much loved by those who need a watch that will put up with the very roughest use the very roughest and most dangerous jobs can dish out. G-Shocks are worn by more than a few hipsters and would-be hipsters these days, but they're also worn by the thousands by police officers, firefighters, special forces operators, regular Army guys and gals ¨C you name it. A $150 Tough Solar G-Shock will last basically indefinitely and will as for absolutely nothing in return for flawless performance other than that you don't expose it to a nuclear explosion. So what the heck is Casio doing in offering a $6,200 G-Shock

Strap ideas for the BLNR
Hi all,I've been told I can expect my BLNR to come in within the next few months. I also had an AD place an order for a jubilee for me a few months back. Now that AD has said RUSA is pushing back on selling them a jubilee without a broken one needing replacement or sending in a head that would have had one (possibly wanting to service it too). While I haven't given up hope on getting the jubilee, I am looking at other options.First thing I did was purchase some custom end links to fill the gap between case and strap - those arrived yesterday. With the recent Jomashop Hadley Roma strap sale, I also bought a shiny black alligator strap with black stitching and a matte navy blue alligator with off white stitching. Those are pretty generic options that would work fine, but not really add much flare. I did see a picture of one on a mesh similar to the one I own already and though it looked great - but another watch friend hated it; just goes to show different strokes for different folks
