Custom Strap by Red12 Straps
I "designed" a strap and it was made by Zack from Red12 straps. Here are photos from Zack's bench.

Casio G-Shock DW-003 Models
These G-Shock DW-003 models are one of the earlier G-Shocks. Functions are pretty basic but construction of the watch is chunkier.
Casio G-Shock Mudmans
I was browsing on Amazon and came across two great deals on the Casio Mudman G9000-1V and G9000-3V. Both were cheaper than what they sell on eBay and had free shipping. This started my craze for collecting G-Shocks models of different colors. I never did wore these Mudmans out because I find the bands rather uncomfortable for a small wrist. They become display units instead.
As for the camouflage version, I got it off the bay. It has an interesting orange color backlight.

Casio Protrek PRG-40-3V - the Outdoor Watch
After owning a Suunto Vector and X-lander, I wanted a Casio model of a outdoor watch. I got this watch the forum again. Although this watch is a little big on my wrist, it is very light and you barely noticed its presence on the wrist. The display is really big.
I did not get to use much of the functions except the alarm and barometer. The temperature sensor works really fast compared to the Suunto watches. The Suunto models take a while to calibrate while this Protrek takes a few seconds to read the current temperature. I think this is due to the fact that it has 2 sensors. In any case, this is a great watch for the outdoorsmen.

Steinhart Ocean1 GMT
I got this watch to satisfy the craving for the more expensive Rolex Explorer. I got this watch off a forum that I source for more of my watches.
When it came I was a little disappointed. The size of the watch is not what I have expected - it was the 39mm version rather than the newer models which is the 42mm version.
Other than the size, I am actually quite impressed with the design on the watch. The watch is well built and looks great on the wrist. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone who wants a quality time piece at a more affordable price.
