Hi All:
I like digital watches and have owned Casios in the past. I even owned a G many moons ago. Other than handling g's from time to time, I really can't say that I know much about them other than:
1. I generally like their construction
2. I find most of their displays a bit small and busy; and
3. I find most to be too tall relative to their diameter.
with that in mind, I'm interested in finding a version of this style:
More specifically, I would love to find something in this general shape that has a larger diameter (like most modern watches), and if possible, not mounted on a rubber strap. I understand that this style harks back to the look of the original G's, but some of them have been re-don in recent years in larger the sizes prefered by today's watch wearers.
I'd like the case to be black, and I don't have a preference between a positive or negative display. I would like to remove the white paint where it says G-SHOCK and Shock Protection at the top and bottom of the screen, so I would love any tips any of you7 might have on doing that.
Lastly if the watch only comes on a rubber strap, any suggestions for alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help guys.
