Happy birthday! Are you going to G-Shock East/West? If so they have a few models on sale. If not with 100 in your hand you can pretty much choose from 90% of the stock, only a few watches cost more than that and are probably a bit more 'specialist' than you will need for your first watch.

Like you said though I ain't going to get any raritys from local retailers.
I like the dw6900 range so I'm thinkin its my target.

Happy Birthday! Pleased to hear that you have got a watch that you are happy with, the GR-8900a is fine looking piece of kit. Can we have a picture or two in the "WRUW" thread please?

I would recommend these two - The DW-6600 or the G9000MS-1 (Mudman) - But be aware, that this version of the Mudman has a very dark display unless you want to keep using the backlight all the time which tends to shed battery life.
As for the DW-6600, its very hard to get in local watch shops. Your best bet is to look around for this version on the internet.
Its rugged and looks awesome. Highly recommended.
Take a look at this vid here. Go to 09:40. Thats the watch I am speaking of to get.

Nice choice, which colour did you go with and where did you manage to pick one up
@gshockfreak9999 - DW-6600 is indeed a classic and very legible but not so easy to get hold of anymore, pretty sure it's out of production.G-Shock Spares Wanted
