Roadcarver!

Vernon... this one is for you.

I saw Blood Diamond last night. Good movie. Really enjoyed it.
However, it made me miss my Chrono Avenger.







Can't think of a much tougher watch than that one!!

The question is... was this watch available in 1999 when the story takes place??

I have seen one at some point with a blue shark and it looked awesome if you can stomach all the blue.

This is obviously a different model, but the Avenger would look kinda cool too.

It's quartz. Bit of a turn-off...
