Today I am wearing a watch that was given to me - a DW-004. (Thanks John!)

Tried a couple of modding ideas apart from the obvious - a small amount of sterilisation and trying to match the spacer under the glass to the colour of the lettering.

The acrylic water soluble paint I bought isn't really up to the job but it gave me the chance to play. Idea is to make a stealth military watch complete with battle scars. Need to find something to fill the blank space where "CASIO 20bar water resist" was. The great temptation is to put a wee Nazi Eagle as the watch "brand" and then pass it off as a watch gifted to Erwin Rommel by Hitler himself...

DW-004 looking much better, love the model # ;). Did you re-dye band and bezel? Will keep an eye on eBay for a genuine WWII era G-Shock ;)

Given the weather here today is vaguely nautical gone with the gulfman

Do you mean GW-200MS-1JF Men In Rusty Black Frogman vs DW-8250Y-9T Men In Yellow Frogman? Tough call :D if you have to get one personally I'd go with the GW-200 series because I like this range and normally go with black watches, however the MIY is probably more collectable and has more retro appeal.
