It's been exactly 2 years and 5 month to the day that I started waiting on one of my dream watches.......today was the day that I finally got to hold it and not give it back
so they could put it back in the case. Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th!! Cheers to all!!!

For my entire watch wearing lifespan I've worn relatively standard, serious watches. It was only a couple of years ago that I broke down and got the G-Shock GAB2100 in black. Having both the Tough Solar and Bluetooth time sync features makes the watch so easy - always charged, always accurate to the second.
Admittedly, a fairly tiny step away from my other watches.
Turns out, the hands on the Yellow version of the GAB2100 are larger than the black version - seems odd, but there it is. I wanted the larger hands, but in the black version, so I bought the yellow version and swapped the guts with my black version.
Yellow guts in the black bezel.
Left over: Black guts with the yellow parts.
So for a couple of years the black guts and yellow parts sat in storage - I had planned to sell.
Fast forward to recently and I've turned a new leaf. For reasons unknown, I decided to give a try to wearing the yellow watch, which was previously too odd/bold looking to my taste. I decided that a red silicon strap (much nicer than the G-Shock's rubber strap) would make for a decidedly fun and different look for me. And I've been wearing it for over a week now. Funny how one's tastes can morph over time.
I figured that if I was going to sport such a bold color as yellow, I might as well go all out with the style and dress it up with the red silicon strap. All yellow was too yellow for me. The red contrast breaks that up and, oddly enough... I actually like it! (Not for all occasions, of course.)
These silicone straps are so much more comfortable & flexible than G-Shocks rubber ones.
One other cool thing about the G-Shock GAB2100 series model is how easily modded it is. There are quite a variety of bezels, colors, and strap options that can be modded, including steel bezels and bracelets.

Beautiful! I like square and rectangular minute indices much better than the round ones. Those, the day/date complication, and a good rotating bezel make for my ideal watch.Okay, keeping with my recent "Bezel Swap" theme, here is the SKZ325 half of my SKZ323-325 Bezel Swap.

These black dial / silver bezel swaps are not as dramatic as the white dial / black bezel swaps but I still like them better than the original black on black on black design.
What do you think?

I like the red silicon strap on the yellow G-Shock so much that I've got another red silicone inbound to use -on occasion- with my black GAB2100. Red and black is a favorite color combo. Seems the Chinese have loved that color combo... for a while now!

If you could figure out a way to shorten the buttons/switches, please let me know.

The bezel is needed to attach the strap. And the bezel covers the majority of the buttons, so... I don't know.

While I'm at it, I might as well mention this one, as Fedex delivered it today!
Since Casio started making analog G-Shocks with steel bezels and bracelets... I've really admired them. Some, though, were overpriced in my view. Not long ago, Casio in their infinite wisdom crafted one of these priced in the sweet spot. The G-Steel GST-B1000.
The case is carbon fiber reinforced resin for excellent shock resistance and very light weight - with a steel bezel/shroud.
Different from the GAB2100 module, this design shows both day and date - I love that.
Also, it has Tough Solar and Bluetooth features, so - always powered up and always accurate to the second. SWEET.
It also has a screw-down crown, if one wishes to make changes to time and other features, manually, using the crown. The app can be used, as well.
But the best parts for me: the looks/readability and the price. Looks one can judge for yourself.
Price is MSRP $440, but you can easily find at 15% discount for $372. At that price - it was a no brainer for me. I bought it online from Walmart. They shipped it at no cost by FedEx - from Singapore! I knew if I didn't like it I could just return it to the local Walmart. It was a no-risk deal for me.
As it turns out, I absolutely LOVE this watch. Looks are stunning, readability is exceptionally good, the size is just right, and the case polishing is reminiscent of Oceanus watches.
It is quite similar in many ways (case polishing and the module features) to my two Oceanus watches - sort of like if an Oceanus and a G-Shock had a baby.... this would be it!
And of course, the solar, Bluetooth, G-Shock durability, and 4 position adjustment at the clasp features. It will also make your phone ring (phone finder feature), if you wish to use that feature.
The alternating high polish/satin finish links on the bracelet are strikingly good looking as you turn your wrist. It has a mineral crystal, but I think the crystal will be plenty durable enough for me, the way I will wear this watch.
It also has multiple alarms, timer, and stopwatch features, though personally, I generally don't use those features with my watches.
Casio... you hit this one out of the ballpark at a sweet price.

Which one looks better with gray suede?

Oh, definitely the Tissot.
The batteries arrived in a regular postage envelope. Private seller on amazon.
I prefer the Hamilton. But then again it's probably because I prefer the Hamilton.
