    WRUW : 5th Mar -> 11th Mar

    EQW-M1100DC-1A2 First photo. Need to take a couple of links out to make the band fit. Once I have figured out how to attach my Galaxy Note phone/tablet (phablet?) to a tripod and cleared some space I may get round to comparing this to my GW-3000B

    Seconded, it was Paul who sold me the two DW-004s that appeared in WRUW this week. Excellent and friendly service.

    A G-Shock to dye for

    Ok so I tried, used RIT in a teflon coated aluminium saucepan, no bacon buttie but a large mug of monkey brew. And I did do something irreparable ... A naked DW-9200K showing the yellowing of the strap. Blue one first, using the same pan of dye as for the G-lide shown on the left Hard...

    How to report a fake watch to eBay

    When /I first started reporting fakes eBay were good at removing the listings. Now I feel that I'm p***ing in the wind - maybe we need to act collectively and when someone is obviously selling counterfeit goods. By flagging the bad guys in this forum and several reporting the item we may get...

    How to report a fake watch to eBay

    If you get caught up in this and start reporting fake eBay items don't worry - there are always plenty to have a go at :( 69onehundred gave us the heads up on this particular fake, turns out rutteger also saw this fellers fake for sale - but they were two different watches. The seller isn't an...

    A G-Shock to dye for

    I wimped out and did a search for RIT in the UK. Got some from The Cloth Shop in North London via Amazon. Bit the bullet this afternoon and tried a poor unsuspecting G-Lide before giving my ICERCS a go. First try moderately successful. The two ICERCS went a little better with one major...

    Do you wear all your G-Shocks

    Yes, I wear them all. Given that my job and hobbies are 60% scratching around in unpleasant environments for watches I tend to wear the beaters rather more than others but they all get wrist time. Some I will wear to go out but remove before bedtime and wear a beater overnight. None have so far...

    WRUW : 27th Feb -> 4th Mar

    Hei RStotty, Nice looking Riseman. Must be a little difficult charging a solar watch in a Norwegian winter :D Today I am off to transport some scrap timber so don't want to risk anything decent. Hence my Ri&Sman - not solar, not atomic and not Casio, It's not just a cheap looking fake, it's an...

    Another fake GW-9300?

    I have just looked at this guy and reported him to eBay. He has 5 G-Shocks for sale - 4 of this model in different colourways. All are "unwanted gifts" Maybe he could put them in the Louis Vuitton bag he also has for sale. This is an instance of blatant fraud so he needs a lot of complaints to...

    Case back Seals

    Bergeon do one, It is limited to 3 atmospheres and costs around £500. Better to strap it to the outside of a submarine going out on exercise in home waters! I would be very interested to know how a pressure tester works, Anyone got an instruction book?

    Case back Seals

    Not (yet!) encountered that problem. Depends on how well you want to seal the watch. You can buy watch "o" rings from somewhere like http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/2/1897.aspx a fiddle around with them, cut and superglue if necessary. But any sealing like that is pretty hit and miss and I...
