A new watch box had appeared. The previous box had twelve slots, allowing for multiple G-Shocks, which were now reduced to a single 'champion' example. I don't know what happened to this box.
And that was it for 2008. Fourteen watches, the same as in years one and two. The G-Shock percentage had gone from 86% and 57% to 14%. Seiko was at 36%, but I had become a generalist. Mechanical was established.
