I'm not usually into G-Shocks, but this one is signed by its Visionary Inventor Kikuo Ibe...

So I hope this pic is not out of place here on a watch forum.
Arguably, Mr Ibe is one of the most important watchmakers of his generation (at least by the number of watches produced and creating a whole new genre of wristwatches).

Your G-Shock....

The hammered versions you show are cool! I am new to this whole G-Shock world. Feels like there is an endless variety of options and models.

Such timing!

I happened to be badly poisoned by gshock recently. Just bought two in quick succession. I'm now trying to find a gshock with excellent finishing, not sure if there is any such pieces. Maybe the made in Japan mtg?

Great to see the face and name . .

Amazing story!!!

I wonder just how many mechanics diving watches would survive under the same conditions.
