What watches do Benchmade people wear?

Well this thread just popped up in the latest posts so I may as well answer it :
I'm a Benchmade person (Ritter Grip M390, 710 M390, 940 CarbonF with S90V) and I don't wear a watch as a rule. I tend to run on rails and seldom vary them so there are clocks where I live and work and don't need to know what time it is much while traveling between. Boring huh ?
I will probably never own an Apple watch though I am an Apple fan boy. I use my iPod timers and clocks all the time.
 
Tag Indy 500 and a 1968 Omega Seamaster.

While not as fancy, nor as expensive as some, this Casio is very readable and super accurate, doesn't even lose a second, just crazy accurate where others I've owned would drift, this stays spot on, with a fresh battery of course, pardon the reflection in this, just shot quickly tonight;

Nice Photo Gary - Casio - Johnny Depp and a Benchmade ??? - Very nice. I used to referee rugby football and I always used a Casio because
as you know it's super accurate and tough. My Breathing loses 2-4 minutes a month or sometimes in 2-3 weeks but mechanicals can't
keep time like a quartz watch just are much heavier and cost more and keep time more incaccurately.

Breitling not Breathing....doggone spellcheckers cause misspellings.
 
Thanks, I had, for me, a high end Sinn 656 that I truly loved how it looked but, being mechanical it would lose time. Some quartz ones I've owned would also drift by several seconds over a span of a few weeks, where this one stays spot on.

And yes, Jack Sparrow...but, you have heard of him ;)

So when was the G2 made? I was at Benchmade in Oregon this past September and it's a modern factory with a great showroom and great people.
 
That was something my daughter had the knife shop she bought it from to etch on the blade as a gift for me a few years back. As my nickname is known as G2...Gary Graley...GG and so on... ;)

Now the blade, that I did myself, making it more a clip point as I like to have a tip on my knives and it worked out pretty well.

edited to add, Jack Sparrow was given from my youngest daughter for my recent birthday back in Jan 31st

edited to add that I took your question to Private message to help from taking this thread off track from watches :) catch you in the PM area sir.

OK so it's a customized some type of Benchmade. Very neat- I'm a sucker for orange knives-nice blade too. What other
knife work do you do?
