Gary, those PRS 516's looks really impressive !  ..Man oh man, always liked these, but your picture shows so
much more detail with the dial, and bezel. Fantastic how they have the brushing that matches the case's finish
on the center links of this beautiful bracelet also.

What a phenomenal Sub-Aqua too Budabear !  You really have the chance to appreciate the overall design of the
watch with this one, maybe more than any other version thanks to that MOP dial imho. It's almost as if the finish of
the case, and bracelet flow right onto the dial.

Bill, your Benthos 500 is also outstanding with it's modern vintage style sir.  There is everything we like about the old
time dive watches such as bold bezels, vibrant dials, and beautiful cases. Then there's the addition of modern day finish,
along with size. Really is a stunning watch.

Citizen Chronograph Friday

Just found and bought for $50, this vintage 1997 Casio G Shock MRG line analogue quartz. Back in its day it cost $400 (40,000yen). The MRG line was the higher end version of Gs. This puppy is built like a tank! Notice the left side crown, meant to avoid the crown digging into the wrist.

Note the protective resin guard on the caseback.

Oh neat Thian, never saw one of these !  Casio really hit a home run with those. Can't believe that they don't make them anymore. They are really fantastic sir. Congratulations !!!

Beautiful Tudor too Bill !  What's so great about this watch is that the more you look at it, the more you like it. The hands pull you in, but then the rest of the watch is exceptional too !
