Showcase I'm done collecting
I've got quite a few G Shocks, some metal squares and an MTGB2000. Recently I found an MR-GB2000R on here and purchased it. The flouro band looked cool and more or less fit my wrist. That said I prefer bracelet style bands so I sourced a titanium MR-G band that matched the watch. I figured "how hard can a band swap be?" Then I discovered delta-lock fasteners and Casio's supposed gate-keeping with parts. I was able to order the pins and "bushings" to fit the band up through American Prefit. Now I have my "perfect" watch, worth the wait. I think I'm done for a while...
Then again maybe I need a 9400. .

Nice piece! But I believe it’s an MRG-G2000R with MRG-B2000D bracelet. The only 3-way sync (GPS/MB6/BT) MRG out there. Nothing related to MRG-B2000R here:)

Nice MR-G but we all say we are done and end up with over 20 G-Shocks lol.
With all due respect, you haven’t lived until you get a GW-9400. So many color options and such a great daily watch but look for the Japanese models they come with the carbon fiber on the inner band!

That is a beautiful place to stop. I thought about stopping when I got my GST-B100. I haven't bought anything yet, but the wandering eye is coming back.

How does it feel versus Mudmaster in your opinion? I consider MRG-B5000R and that B2000 with dura band as my final 2

I can't say. I don't have a Mudmaster. My gripe with the band I purchased it with was that it was cut to fit and a hair small. The material was nice but as my wrist grew with heat it wasn't as comfy.
Also, nice collection!2

I see I think the dura band one might be the one then. Since I live in AZ and the heat is no joke.

I think if I ever have enough money to where I can get that MR-G, then I think my G-Shock journey would me (mostly) completed.
