But you don't dive very deep in your bath tub.

Are you crazy? That'd mean possibly getting the watch wet!

Right? He must be mad in the face.

There are smaller g shocks (male). My wife has a baby g.

I have the AWG-M100B-1AER and that's a small as you can go without defeating the grrr manliness points.

Would wear it to the odd board meeting as I would often forget to swap it out for my dress watches since it sat well under my shirt sleeve.

I also have some chunkier ones and you get used to wearing them.

Got mine from there for £65ish during a sale and the newsletter fashion 20% off.

Still worth it at £99. You can't read the negative display for toffee but it still looks great so who cares. I have my smart phone to check the date, world time etc etc.

Get with the times 2step, it's all about that desk diving depth.

The joys of desk diving, love those diamond crustations that we end up with on our desks which like to chomp through stainless steel. I'm actually still wearing the factory fitted clasp protection on my SMPc, like some sissy. I am contemplating cutting out a cheap plastic mobile phone screen protector in the shape of my clasp. What has become of me?

Am I too late for the lume party?

Anyone here who'd buy/wear one of these that didn't tell the time? I think the majority are brilliantly designed but I could use a Nokia 3210 to tell the time.

For me one of the great things about watchmakers is they way they can bring anything back to life. Wear and relax I say.

All this talk of divers has made me dig out the Maranez today (although on a JB black / grey Nato)

Have got a large OCUK mouse-mat at both home and work pretty much purely to protect the clasp of my Submariner. It's still a bit scratched after a year of daily wear, but nowhere near what it would be if I used a bare desk.

Alan! Alan! Alan! Steve! Steve! What's the model number on this beautiful looking work of art please?

It looks like the SKX007J2 but I'm not 100% on that.

It is, looks like it's got a super oyster bracelet though.

What watch do you wear?
