Re: G-Shock GW3000BD

It seems to be regular G-Shock size.
These are killer! I just picked one up myself. (on a 6.6" wrist)

Re: Want to learn about Watch Photography?

Taking a picture in RAW is no different than shooting it as a JPEG. Same camera settings, just a different file format.

The most inexpensive watches I own are all vintages.
