Problem for those of us in the UK is the price of shipping from the States. Then the customs take an interest and charge VAT - on the watch and the shipping cost. I haven't done an exhaustive search but the best price I found on eBay UK was £22.60 shipped free from Hong Kong And having done all...

Great pictures of a nice watch. As I have just missed out on a Terje Haakonsen Riseman on eBay I might have to get one of these. Thanks for the heads up :encouragement:

As you now have the case it might be an idea to get some foam off the market or an upholsterer though if you can find camera case foam - less dense texture, even better - shove it in the case you bought as an interim measure. Depends if you want the watches on permanent display in which case a...

You and I both have far newer, more complex and more expensive watches in our collections - funny how it comes down to a "classic" as the one watch we would choose. Is there a current Casio classic in the making?

Judging by the poll there are quite a few owners of multiple G-Shocks In the spirit of BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs" (now celebrating its 70th anniversary) if you had to save just one of your collection which would it be and why? (Assume a plentiful supply of batteries and the tools to...

Thought I had better wear something conservative for the club meeting tonight so I decided to co-ordinate T-shirt and watch colours: Great skies tonight, some wispy cloud but otherwise clear, pleased to say that the moon was behaving as the GL-X-5600 said it should. Even in my light-polluted...

I am not saying that magnetics or static discharge will kill a module but I am saying that they may kill it. A bit like smoking 30 cigarettes a day won't necessarily give you lung cancer but there is a fair risk involved. I use a large tupperware container (other brands of self sealing plastic...

Woo Hoo! The first of many ... :cool:

Not that guide - this: http://www.g-shockzone.com/showwiki.php?title=How-to-repaint-G-Shock-bezel-text Our very own G-Shockzone guide on our very own wiki. Full credit and kudos to our moderator for getting the wiki working, now all we need are contributions. And you may want to consider this...

The "bad boy" looks to be a bit of alright :) Lettering needs to be redone, easy job and there is a guide to doing that on the wiki. But the 7800 looks good too. Decisions, decisions <sigh> Both would be a good idea :devilish:

Austrian oddity is being a slight disappointment as one function isn't working, trying surgery on it in between work breaks. Anything interesting - well, obviously to me but I will post pix when they arrive. Working tonight at Gatwick - GW-1400DJ-1A stood up well to the vibes from an SDS drill...

Well, it went for 30 quid including postage. Needs a battery so that's another tenner - there are some solar atomics available new for around 60 quid or keep watching eBay - there are always plenty of watches to choose from. Smart decisions - ask here for advice ( ask three people and you will...

Not sure about the magnetised screwdrivers, not the best tool to use around electronics. The other thing that we should consider is ESD - Electrostatic Discharge - you can quite easily kill an electronic circuit or chip with the static electricity generated by your body, good idea to earth...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I have had resin rot on a DW-6600 (which I used as a dive watch, whether sea water has an effect I have no idea) and a DW-003, provenance unknown. One of the theories is that exposure to UV accelerates the ageing process - not good news for tough solar

I would suggest that you don't go wild on the biddi - it may well be the battery at fault and that obviously you need to factor in, plus the postage. It may be, with an unscrupulous seller, that they have already tried a battery replacement and it turns out to be a fault in the solar cells or...

Don't get too excited - couldn't find any G's on sale but Casio's ugly clone, Timex is featured fairly well...

Mais non mon ami - I use Google translate :o But I have found that saying "Hello", "Good Morning", "Please" and "Thank you" in the language of the country in which you are in is both polite and it helps to break barriers. The English speaking countries seem to be very bad at speaking even a...

Bienvenido, yo no hablo español, pero puede usar Google Translate para decir hola. Si usted tiene fotografías de sus relojes vamos a verlos!

A touch expensive at over a grand in UK money but worth a look
