Definitely the choice of the cognoscenti that's for sure. I took that picture at 9.14.02 seconds according to an atomic clock which means as I set that watch over 4 years ago it's gained less than 30 seconds in that time.

Beep beep:
Tick Tock:
I like titanium
There is another digi G-shock and another analogue Oakley that, worryingly cannot find anywhere.
I'd like to treat myself to a premium brand watch soon but new bikes, cars and house stuff keep putting that on hold.

The F91W is an exceptionally accurate watch GC8. Best 5$ I ever spent.
As far as the G-Shocks go they're also excellent watches. I have a GW-9000A which being solar and radio controlled will likely go on forever and is totally accurate given a forced update when required. Tried to kill mine but even hard use on some fairly difficult climbs has left it unmarked.

I really like my G-Shocks the top middle one (MR-G 130T) must be the best part of 8 years old. It's been in many house fires, many MTB crashes and more and all that's happened is the beeps no longer work.
Day to day I prob wear the Seiko orange monster more than others.

Both my crap new watches are back at the makers being rapaired. If i had a camera you could see the pretty Blue Chittys the dealer gave me while they send them off for 6 weeks or whatever.
Down to Seiko Flightmaster and Casio Terrorist special like Narcos at this address.
Three old keepers are packed away at my folks. '66 Moon, Snoopy Moon and Breitling 2110.
Matteyboy - Yesterday you said you like subtle watches now you're loving the chav christmas tree that is the Ball? Awful awful watch, i'd forgive the tasteless illumination if it had any great watchmaking behind it but it doesn't!

Tragically poor phone camera pics.
The "G Cool" has lasted 10 years with only 2 battery replacements. Keeps accurate date until 2032. Ridiculously accurate. Stores 100 phone numbers and other stuff. Backlight is bright enough to use as a mini torch. Does "auto tilt" light for stuff like diving.
The Cockpit has survived many surfs and hard knocks yet is still okay to wear out without looking too scabby.
Brilliant watches.

In defence of Ball they are 'tool' watches. Also tritium tubes are pretty cool so I can respect them even if I wouldn't own one.
