C'est bien! The new Casio G-Shock analog Frog. Worth about $4. I don't understand, they make a reasonably good looking bezel and case yet then make an elementary mistake and give it a movement with hands. It looks horrible, it is made from cheap materials yet people still buy them - up to £100...

It's a true G-Shock, dressing it up in glittery clothes doesn't take away the fact that the base watch is a very capable piece of kit. As a one time experienced scuba diver I would not want to dive with it though - shiny objects attract some fish, putting your hand by a crevice concealing a...

Camp? Only real men wear Frogmen, sweetie :D Or did you mean to type camo? (Sorry, couldn't resist, just got in after a long, long day and need some light relief)

After yesterday's diversions with Timex I have returned to the fold. My borrowed Freelander drove sweet as a nut to Peterborough and back, the only disappointment being the fuel consumption. No nasty drilling or spanner wielding on site today, I was there to check readiness and feasibility for...

I haven't taken it apart (yet) but it seems to be hard plastic as an all-in-one moulding rather than case and bezel. One thing noticeabkle with wearing for less than a full day was that the keeper has become noticeably blackened with rubbing against the inside of my black fleece. When /i have...

The set went for £1470 and postage was another £25. I had a look wondering about buying to sell on as individual pieces but can't see any profit to be had at that price! Hope the buyer is happy.

Part 2 - AA brought me home. Had organised vehicle to borrow, mechanic and parts while sitting roadside. Water pump £35 but ---- the cam belt needs to be disturbed to get at the pump and it is highly recommended to replace it and the tensioners - if the belt goes then pistons will hit valves...

Why is there an AA card (Triple A for our American members) sitting on the dashboard of my car? Why is there a view of the M25 from the Clacket Lane services slip road? I made a very bad decision this morning. With over 60 Casio watches to choose from I thought I would wear this instead...

Olivier - I am shocked! :eek-new: From the times shown in your pictures it took you over a minute and a half from unboxing the watch to putting it on your wrist. What sort of G-Shock fan are you? :tongue-new:

Today was supposed to be sorting out the cosmetics on a vandalised machine on a station platform. I used the (valid) excuse that paint would take hours to go off in sub-zero temperatures and ended up in Wetherspoon's warm head office in Watford installing LED lights in a prototype machine...

Only thing I can suggest for PacParts is that we see if any of the guys on this forum who live Stateside would be prepared to place an order for you, have it posted to their address then post it on to you. PayPal is an easy method of paying them upfront even though the charges are annoying...

I will be watching the site to see when (if) they sell out. As for buying one - I couldn't possibly comment :D

Classic. I did much the same, decided to give a classic in the making an airing: GX-56-1AER King

CBX-1000 is first one of four from different vendors in the States. Straight to my door, no customs hassles this time. NATO strap rather than the original, not sure of full feature set as no manual for the 948 module on the Casio site. Split lap times, 1/1000 second timing, alarm and time found...

The guy is selling what I assume is a fairly standard 6900, no way of telling from the photos. He has a second for sale - an "Eminem" watch. He is almost randomly picking names from the hat and ascribing them to his watches. I have a G-2500-3V which I bought via eBay from an ex- Israeli Defence...

Sorry not to continue the triple-eyed monster theme but today was time for one of my beaters. DW-003TB-7VT £4.17 including post (and paint flecks) from eBay Spent the morning from 0600 doing my tax return then got stuck in helping a mate move a concrete sectional garage. Got captured at the...

Between the Frogs, Mudman and Riseman that I own or covet it has to be the Froggie for the looks and for its feel on the wrist
