Incoming X 2!

One took 21 months, the other one day.

Needed to upgrade my G Shock and the GA2100 is nice and low profile under 12mm unlike my current 16mm jobbie and, of course, does everything it says on the tin as well as being light yet damn tough little thing...Love me a G Shock!

Now the 126710 is a slightly different beast!....it’s exactly what I wanted and more. Super comfortable and fits beautifully. I am very pleased it’s got the darker type bezel: the blue seems Navy and the red Burgundy, to my tired old eyes. Well worth the wait, so happy with them both!

Took the BLRO out on the boat yesterday from Lymington down to Portland Bill and found the Queen Mary & 9 other cruise ships just sitting there doing nothing. Quite sad really to see such a great boat rotting away! But what great weather for the UK!

Obligatory steering wheel shot too.

Congrats.

We’ve just got back from the New Forest. One of my sisters has a house in Lyndhurst that wasn’t being used so we stayed from Thursday and came back today. Went to Lymington and the quay there on Friday.

Visited Watches of Distinction on the high street as well. Have purchased from Giles before.

This is my first Casio G-Shock, it's very good watch at excellent price. I normally wear when I go out for running.
Congratulations on your great timepiece!
