Very happy, keep glancing at my wrist to admire it and planning how to paint the spare bezel. It has a nice weight and presence to it. Only downside is that the strap sharkfin pokes out as the strap is so long - designed to go over a diving suit and a common problem to Frogs. Might cut down the...

Nice 6900! This is the parcel from yesterday: Big box full of cushioning and the important bits inside the wee black box. £6.00 postage and packing of which the seller had spent £5.90 on 1st class recorded insured and tracked delivery. £0.10 for packing everything up, materials and taking to...

You think that's bad! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Casio-G-Shock-Mud-Man-Black-with-Red-corporate-gift-JAPAN-FREE-SHIPPING-/120864814239?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item1c241ab49f#ht_381189wt_696266

Effectively none. Bought a GW-3000 in July 2011 after much studying the market, the reviews, the range of Casios available and the various forums (that's how you got lumbered with me :D ) Realised that it was too nice to use in all the situations I would encounter so bought a cheap, new with...

I am sitting at home this week with just a little paperwork to charge work for - probably 4 hours worth. So I need to start something moving to earn a crust. I have a trade account, yet to be christened with a supplier of watch straps and can do similar to the eBay item for half that price to...

The contents of today's second parcel, worn tonight:

C'mon, you don't seriously expect me to get up and count them do you? Probably 60 - there are 2 ICERCs and 2 Frogs not shown plus a couple of DW-00x. Oh, and a Lo.wer. I may have a check tomorrow :D Well, I could cull the tatty or the slightly damaged but then what would I wear for the rough...

Can you post the link to her blog? I mooch around Sussex from work from time to time, could drop in and say hello (while wearing my GW-3000 ... )

On watchshock.com is the facility to store your collection on line - assuming that your model of watch is shown in their archive. This explains why I have rather more G's than appear in the grid of 50 shown below. Time for a cull perhaps but which ones?

Hi Nigel and welcome. I agree about the 002 being a "rotter" through personal experience. I wonder if Casio might be persuaded to produce a 30th anniversary 002 model similar to the new Jason taking over from the DW-001. Then a supply of bezels could become available. Is it worth contacting the...

So we have a saddler who has the means of making similar leatherwork ... I wonder if he has signed anything to say that he won't produce the same for the open market? As far as I can see the watch in the leatherback combo is a nice but standard aviation series piece. The protection offered is...

Sweet - but not on the bargain shelf :(

This may be one of those that keeps on appearing, it's the third time it has been offered to my knowledge. At one point it was a BIN at £200 which may be a bit ambitious. It is an ICERC though with a non yellow band, would be worth a punt if I had any money left :(

I was replying to TomBoyNI in the "Dw-5600 bape fape fake" thread when the doorbell went. My eagerly awaited watch! This is what arrived (addresses obscured for opsec): Inside, after an heroic struggle with sellotape and parcel tape: The cost of postage and packing for this watch was £2.20...

A good way to see many of the models in actual use rather than Casio's stock photos is to browse the current and all the previous "WRUW" (What are you wearing) threads on this forum. That way you can see how they look on the wrist and read the comments of the owners.

I have an eBay search set up to check for G-Shocks - used, new with defects and new without tags. That normally throws up between 350 and 450 items. Of those, discounting the Shors, Olsens and S-Shocks that are caught along with the rest are probably 15 Bape fakes (it is very rare to encounter a...

This watch is what the Lo.wer could have been - quality leather work with a premium G-Shock inside. But this is placing a very high price on the leather work and, as far as can be seen to date, with none of the sense of fun of the guys in NZ. And the price? More at...

Hi Xenio, Waveceptor is fine and so is solar but I think you have already decided on the gdf :D Get the watch that suits you now and then start looking at solar/waveceptors for your next watch. A good way to see them in real life situations rather than as Casio stock photos is to browse...

My turn to start the week off. Here's my G-7710KRT-3:

OK, here goes, pasting a screen capture (via the insert picture icon) of my incoming frog (Snippit, Snippit :D ) Picture now shows as decent sized thumbnail about this ____________________ long. Need to enlarge it to decent size so double click on image to bring up this dialogue box: and...
