    G-Shock 30th Anniversary Resist Black Series coming April 2013

    On the one hand, I can understand releasing a remake of the DW-5000 with an echo of the same functionality originally provided. You feel a little like you're buying the first version again. However, CASIO has introduced some minor improvements. The most obvious is that an EL backlight is...

    Article: G-Shock Initial Blue 30th Anniversary Series releasing January 2013

    Yes, I was just informed of this on WUS as well. There is as yet no information about how many of each model there will be. Historically speaking, CASIO seems to mix it up where some models have fewer units, sometimes on the order of thousands. Maybe they do that because of the anticipated...

    Cleaning your watch

    It doesn't matter what you use to clean the metal and glass parts of your G-Shock (assuming garden variety soaps). As for the resin, I've heard good things about Meguiar's vinyl cleaner & restorer being used on G-Shocks. The trick with translucent bands/bezels (jellies), is limiting sun...

    Mmmmmmmmm limited to 50!!

    I think it's kind of silly to make it a limited run of just 50... Thinking from a profit over overhead kind of thing, at least 100 would be more sensible. Looks like this variant on the G-8900 series has a negative display LCD with blue tint... something they did on another model a few years...

    10% discount at Tiktox for G-Shockzone members !

    VAT would be deducted from the item price, if you are outside the EU. I've noticed this when looking at an item and then adding it to my cart when logged in (my account is registered as being from the USA)--the VAT is removed once added. I'd imagine if you're ordering from the UK, you would...

    I need help w/my grail! =\

    Ah, OK. I didn't know there were two versions released. Yeah, very often you just have to keep looking and hope for the best. I've found that inevitably someone will come around to selling what you're looking for on a few different venues like eBay and Yahoo Japan. Good luck! :encouragement:

    I need help w/my grail! =\

    There's a good reason why you can't find one. This very limited release model came out in 2010. Source: MyGShock. I highly doubt that anybody is going to let go of theirs, unless it's for a price much, much higher than the original MSRP of $165. In fact, I'm a bit surprised you haven't...

    Mudman G9300 or 9000

    For wearing comfort, I hear the G-9300 is better (the G-9000 has a peculiar texture surround on the case back). For ease of operation, I hear the G-9000 is worse because the buttons are hard to press. The G-9000 seems to have a more diverse range of colors. The G-9300 is clearly more...

    New G-Shock GD-350 with vibration coming Feb 13

    There's a guy going by the name fwupow on YouTube who has posted a highly detailed video about the GD-350. Apparently these models have already been for sale in Japan, which Rakuten has made possible to purchase. Also eBay has them, but for higher prices. I'm curious to see how the pricing...

    G-Shockzone G-Shock G-9000-8V Mudman giveaway

    I'm wearing vintage G-Shocks. I need to step up to a modern one and the Mudman looks like a terrific candidate! ;)

    WRUW : 12th March -> 18th March

    I love the old vintage GL-110 Glide G-Shock models. Very solid stainless steel with screw caseback. Unfortunately the old nylon straps weren't as rugged as resin and would eventually degrade if exposed to a lot of sweat and salt water. I was able to replace mine with Nato straps, after doing...

    WRUW : 12th March -> 18th March

    You can get a replacement bezel, quite easily in fact. eBay sellers have them, but you can also buy from Casio Sales and Service or PacParts.
