The Official Introduce Yourself Here Thread.

Great sunrise shot! (If someone is reading this and doesn't understand what I am on about check Mike's blog for 29/10/11) Has that been processed as HDR or are the colours really that vibrant in your neck of the woods (sorry!) ?

Like the beard sequence, shot for Movember? I may have to do something similar with my wrist and my G-Shock collection.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Hello and Happy New Year...

I'm a G-Shock Fan of course... have previously owned all of the M:I versions (DW-5300, 6900, MTG-910DJ-2JF, and commemorative M:I:iii MTG versions) in the past - and hence the username.

Googled and found your forum - I like the size.

Have collected a few Swiss brands - but at the end of the day there's something about wearing a watch that is technologically advanced and doesn't need to be babied. I have a Gravity Defier on the way that should be delivered Tuesday - will post pics when I get it.

Thanks.

Welcome!

Look forward to the pics. G-Shocks are insiduous - I agonised over buying a gravity defier as a decent watch, then realised I needed a daily beater as well, then discovered the cheapness of some G-Shocks on eBay.

Now I have over 50.

So no doubt we will be seeing pictures of several varieties of Shock from you in the next few weeks

Welcome to the site Know what you mean about wearing a G without having to worry. Do you still have the Mission Impossible set? Either way look forward to pics of the incoming Gravity Defier and others which I'm sure will follow

Thanks to you both for the welcomes!

No, I no longer have the M:I set... I was contacted by an M:I freak 2 years ago and was literally made an offer that I would have been a fool to refuse. Plus those watches are still out there...

I've actually owned multiples of the DW-5300 (with both white and red dial outlines) and the MTG's - but I am a notorious trader - not to mention have given a few to my son over the years.

But I will pursue a very-clean 5300, and may grab the bluetooth 6900 in March. The MTG's are just too small for me to wear anymore (diameter wise).

Right now I am in love with that silver/grey Ana-digi Gravity Defier that will deliver tomorrow - as I've never owned a non-black G-Shock, and it provides everything I could possibly need in 1 watch - larger size, S/S bracelet, analog and digi functions/readout, the centrifugal-force bragging rights, Solar, Atomic, and the fact it dresses up and down.

Thanks again - looking 4ward to hanging with y'all.

Good stuff and good luck tracking down a mint DW-5300, sadly resin rot seems to claim many a bezel.

Hello everyone, my name is Luis. I'm 25 and live in Los Angeles CA, USA. I just got my first gshock this past christmas 2011. My girlfriend gifted me a black 6900. And for new years I bought a gshock G-Lide in all red. I currenty have my eyes set on a older Mudman, the 9000-8 in tan color. Although I also like the army green mudman as well..

I'm hoping to expand my small collection this yea. I will come back to this post and edit it with pics of what I have now.

Looking forward to learning more about these beautiful watches

Welcome to the site Luis, look forward to seeing the collection. Be warned though, 2 will turn into 3 will turn into many more

Hahah! I know it will.. I'm looking to score some good deals on ebay. I see a lot of good deals locally as well. Not on rare gshocks but gshocks non the less.. I bought that G-lide for $50USD. Sounded like a good deal to me so I snatched it right up.. Well.. off to bed I go its 2:35am here and I'm beat! Later
