Unboxing the Solid Gold G-Shock G-D5000-9JR 'Dream Project' at Topper Jewelers
It started with a box. A big one. One of those kinds of shipping crates that comes nailed to a wooden pallet, inside of which is a series of increasingly smaller boxes, each with bits of straw and packing peanuts layered in between.
