    WRUW : 13th Feb -> 19th Feb

    How specific is the button to the DW-9XXX series? Are there any other models that would do? And yes, have the Lovers 97 Witch and dragon, no witch to entice with it though. :(

    The Official Introduce Yourself Here Thread.

    Hi Xenio, a late hello to you - I've been busy sorting out invoices for work so I can claim my wages - not enough to buy that MR-G unfortunately. Noticed your comment but decided to concentrate on getting some work done, now I can play. It's been cold in the UK recently but I imagine Serbia...

    Shipping to UK

    Seems to be that a parcel from the States will almost certainly caught by customs, Far East items less chance of interception. 100% catch rate on parcels from NZ (sample of 1 :) )

    Shipping to UK

    Not sure where you are posting from but the problems at the UK end are customs duties and the charge made by the carrier for collecting those duties. Most US sellers go off on one when you ask them to mark a package as a "gift" - it is illegal to underdeclare the value of a package in the...

    eBay G-Shock DW-9900

    Being sold by a guy with a good reputation both on eBay and that other watch forum. He has had some interesting kit in the past including, from memory, a Turbokolor in nice nick. Worth putting on your favourite seller list!

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    No reason given but I think that the link was deemed to have contravened the rule regarding "Links to commercial sites" which seems pretty harsh as I imagine this site costs you plenty to run rather than generating any income. And yes, the collab seems to be a limited to 100 edition - until the...

    200m or 20ATM

    Ok - my take on this (as a former BSAC diving instructor) Air at the surface of the earth presses on your body uniformly at a pressure of one atmosphere - 1 ATM -1000millibars - 1 bar - 14.7lbs per square inch - 1 kg per square cm Going under water pressure increases quite markedly as water is...

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    I posted a link to the above thread on another watch forum which shall be nameless but got a private message from Ernie Romer saying that the link had been removed. So I have posted my entire post over there instead :D

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    Yes, that's the price from the manufacturer. Lo.wer is a New Zealand clothing brand, Thanks is an on-line store selling Lo.wer and other brands. Both are owned by You Know it Ain't Limited. Certainly expensive and certainly more than I wanted to pay yet it is like many other collabs - the base...

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    Hi Feisar and welcome to g-shockzone! So - is it deliberate or a misprint? With luck I will get a response from Lo.wer once NZ wakes up to Monday There is a lot of promise in your signature, you going to share some pictures of the collection with us? :cool:

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    The parent company of Lo.wer is You Know it Ain't Ltd. My guess is that it is a misprint, should they decide to issue a second, corrected edition it might become more valuable. It shows up in the publicity pix from Lo.wer themselves so I may well be wrong. If I were them I would reply that the...

    Lo.wer Unboxing

    Went to Parcel Farce today and paid £45 in VAT and customs clearance fee (having already paid New Zealand sales tax) to claim my eagerly awaited Lo.wer x G-Shock This will be rather more about the leatherwork than the watch which, with a couple of mods, is an otherwise standard DW-5600E. It...

    WRUW : 6th Feb -> 12th Feb

    Back to an old favourite, my GW-500, the watch I wear when there may be a chance of hard work. Not too bad today, to the sorting office then to Parcel Farce, down to the community centre to help with loading a trailer - just completed as I arrived :D Then up to one of the military vehicle club's...

    Former Quartz Snob Saying Hello!

    Ebay is a prime site for G-Shocks but beware of the many charlatans, scratters and downright dishonest little toe-rags on there. Especially on the DW-6900 front. I use watchrecon.com with the fields set to Casio and 7 days and get a couple of pages of watches to look at. It is basically a site...
