Whoa! I could have sworn it was in stock when I shared the link with you.

You can try buying it direct from Strapcode's website. From what I can tell, the 21mm seems to be in stock there.

You might consider Strapcode/MilTat mesh bracelet. It's tapered, if you like that.

I hear ya. And at the same time, I have some G-Shocks that I value for their utility and battle scars, like my GW-5000U. And then there are other G-Shocks that I appreciate for their aesthetic and their elevation as an icon, like my MRG. So even though it's a G-Shock, in spirit and in functionality (technically), I'm still going to do all I can to keep it as pristine as possible. And I admit, maybe I'm drinking a different Kool-Aid than other G-Shock fans 😜.

But yea, I agree... even pretty G-Shocks are allowed to have their scuffs. Wabi Sabi.

The door frame has a gnarly gash in it, and I left it that way, as a reminder to all the other door frames the house to get out of the way next time 😜

Ahhh, actually you may be right on the Drinky Bird.

I'm currently in the process of self regulating my Seiko Sarb035, and have been using a "Watch Accuracy" app on Android as a timegrapher. I have also noticed that the watch runs significantly faster dial up and dial down, moreso dial down.

I'm digging the bracelet!
