GAS = Gear Acquisition Sydnrome.
A potentially serious disorder, common in PRESTAGS era males, and can be contagious.
Over the last six months I have managed to completely tame my field recording equipment GAS attacks, and much moderated my photography equipment GAS attacks.
Last week's purchase of a Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 was a relapse, and I blame Thygo because he is always tempting me with photography GAS ideas.
My new TZ90 is currently charging, ready for a test run sometime soon.
Nevertheless G-Shock GAS attacks have continued unabated, and I am expecting the arrival of another one this week. Bad Boy.
However, there are some G-Shocks that are beyond the reach of a GAS attack.
Unfortunately.
There is the 18 karat pure gold (as in real gold) G-Shock, model G-D5000-9JR (2019). Only 35 were made.
And there is the G-Shock MRGG1000HT (2016) "Hammer Tone".
This one was hand crafted using the tsuiki technique. Only 300 were made.
And there is the G-Shock MRG-G2000GA-1A (2019) hand-finished by Japanese swordsmith Sadanobu Gassan. Only 300 to be made.
But the one that I like the most, is the G-Shock MRG-G1000RT-1A (2015). This one is made from Titanium 64 alloy which is seven times harder than pure titanium.
Only 100 made.
Just dreaming.
I haven't forgotten, Python will want a G-Shock with a special background.
I think a white G-Shock in a white fridge next to a white Napoleon is pretty special.
