[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 788734, member: 46690"] My G-Shock Atomic Solar that I purchased in the early-90's has finally started to disintegrate. Still keeps perfect time, still syncs itself to the Great Clock in the Sky every morning, and can still keep going after taking a round from a howitzer. But 20 years of on/off bending has split apart the strap, and now part of the housing around the bezel as well. I did stitch the strap back together with fishing line, but...well, it just seems more humane now to retire the old gal. I need a watch with this level of to-the-second accuracy for work, and I also race dirt bikes so whatever is on my wrist is gonna take a pounding. That original G-Shock ticked both boxes, so getting another one was a no-brainer. I actually found this brand new model in the Amazon Warehouse section, knocked down to 40 dollars because the original box was damaged. But the watch itself remained unscathed, and works perfectly. And I mean, who wears the box anyway? So, here's to 2 more decades of unparalleled accuracy and serious abuse! This was shot with two soft boxes, camera left and right, angled to knock out reflections and glare. I used a speedlight bounced off a Rogue Flashbender as a fill.
