Hey guys, sorry it took me a while to "finish" this thread but the watch is finally completely refurbished and functioning again. :) Here's the full photo story. Thanks to everyone who provided their input on this forum. It's a very helpful place and I'm lucky I...

Have you looked into spare parts? Should be possible to repair it imo. I just did it with my 15-20 year old DW-6900. See this thread: http://www.g-shockzone.com/showthread.php?3711-Need-new-strap-(What-DW-6900-is-that-)/

Meanwhile I had it changed by the watchmaker. I suppose it will be fine but paranoid as I am I often catch myself taking extra care not to get the watch wet when washing my hands...

Yeah, good point. However in the case of the watch I think the local dealer would still brush it off and blame Casio in case it broke under water (if bought at his shop and before any battery changes)... Maybe I'm sweating though and the water thing isn't a big deal anyway... What I still don't...

Well, I guess it's fine then if just let the watchmaker do his thing. After all he is a Casio premium partner and he's been doing it for decades so I guess it should be fine. It just pisses me of a little that there are always some strings attached to everything.. After all I view these watches...

In another thread a discussion emerged whether or not G's would still be waterproof after changing the battery. The verdict was that they had to be specifically pressure tested in order to make sure. Now, I've asked two watchmakers if they could guarantee that the watch would be waterproof...

Anyone? :rolleyes:

Thanks to your help the parts I need are incoming. :) Ryan was very helpful and told which were the right ones and how to remove the old strap. I should have a package in the mail tomorrow or on Tuesday. :) Now a few more questions came up: When removing the strap I realized the Bezel...

^Awesome lol. I'll make sure to ask about the pressure testing in detail when I take it in to change the battery.

Thanks everyone, Ryan gave me some excellent information and I was already able to remove the adapters. Next up is ordering the straps and aparently a new Bezel as well since I realized there are two cracks in mine. :(

THat all sucks... I'll have the shop change the battery then and explicitely ask them if it'll be waterproof afterwards. Not that I'd go diving anyway but I don't want to worry about it if I wash my hands or if it rains or whatever.

So I guess it's either this (http://www.tiktox.com/casio-straps-and-spares/6900/dw-6900-ref-031.html) or this (http://www.tiktox.com/casio-straps-and-spares/6900/dw-6900ms-1.html). How do I know which one is right for my watch? :culpability:

Man, you guys must have Gorilla arms if you think the 6900 is small. :D

So do repairmen usually check that or do you really have to ask specifically?

Oh, cool, I'll have to look through this site asap. Looks like they have a lot of stuff so I hopefully they'll have something for my watch as well. Thanks. :)
