    eBay NOS G-Shcok GD-100PS-3 Playset

    I saw that and put it on my watch list. Now this may be a touch selfish or even could be seen as acting as a complete hog but some interesting items I see on eBay I keep quiet about! This is in the forlorn hope that no-one else will notice and comment on the listing... :o Nice watch and it...

    WRUW : 2nd Jan 2012 - > 8th Jan 2012

    Today I am wearing a watch that was given to me - a DW-004. (Thanks John!) Tried a couple of modding ideas apart from the obvious - a small amount of sterilisation and trying to match the spacer under the glass to the colour of the lettering. The acrylic water soluble paint I bought isn't...

    Very nice! Was that a present or did you have to buy it yourself?

    The Official Introduce Yourself Here Thread.

    Welcome! Look forward to the pics. G-Shocks are insiduous - I agonised over buying a gravity defier as a decent watch, then realised I needed a daily beater as well, then discovered the cheapness of some G-Shocks on eBay. Now I have over 50. So no doubt we will be seeing pictures of several...

    Thanks, Jason does photograph well, he loves the camera! Paint is from Hobbycraft, nearest thing to a model shop in our area. There was a choice of traditional Humbrol solvent based or a watersoluble Revell acrylic which is what I am trying. There was also a range for those war games figures...

    Saturday 31st - Jason wanted to come out for the afternoon so I took him down to the beach: I like the way that the font seems to change according to the way the light falls on it. Jason then wanted to go into the town where we selected a few pots of paint so that we could do a few...

    Panorama stitching is actually dead easy using a free Microsoft product - MICE - Microsoft Image Composite Editor - google it to download Today has been a bit hectic, I am now in Doncaster - 14 hours on the road for which I get paid 13. Brought another "change from DST needed" watch out with...

    Quite quiet compared to previous years. It normally gets totally jammed from sround 0830, didn't seem to get that busy until around 1030, just wondering if some people thought it was today. Back to Paddington for the third and, I hope, last time on my lock drilling task. The supervisor has put...

    G-Shock Wademan DW-9800 restoration

    Here's hoping. Fingers crossed on your behalf. I have been thinking about the "paint in the text, wipe it off technique" as it is the next thing on my list of mods to try. Which solvents are safe with resin?

    WRUW : 19th to 25th December

    Ah, a certain amount of misunderstanderization (I'm teaching myself US English from a book of Dubya's old speeches :) ) In the Nick Stone novels he wears a Baby-G that he had bought for the daughter of his murdered friends who subsequently gets murdered herself. No such story attached to mine...

    What are your G-Shock plans for 2012?

    The black and gold is a cracker, I wear mine as a dress watch!

    Up at 0500, over to the barracks to pick up my armoured car. Batteries dead :( so drove normal car to the annual vehicle gathering in Wickham Square (Hampshire). No-one organises it, people turn up with anything interesting that has wheels - tractors, scooters, muscle cars, customs, commercials...

    Merry christmas

    Nice day, finished work by 20:00 but didn't hurry, took plenty of breaks along the way. Watched King Rat on TV which may seem an odd choice for Christmas Day but an excellent film at any time. Took this morning (Boxing Day) off - see WRUW - and should knuckle down to my accounts later this p.m...

    WRUW : 19th to 25th December

    If Baby-G is good enough for Andy McNab's "Nick Stone" then it's good enough for me! Quirkiness balanced by cheapness :) And .it is another beater to add to the three or four "sacrificial" watches for the dirtier jobs. There must be Baby-G collectors but there seems rather less information about...

    For Sale G-SHOCK GLX-6900X In4mation edition

    Watches always sell quicker with pictures! And welcome to the forum, why not pop over to the "introduce yourself" thread and, errm, introduce yourself. The only hassle with buying from the States for us in the UK is that Customs seem very active in charging VAT on US packages though they tend...

    Don't think it was Santa who brought me these - not after looking at my PayPal and bank accounts :( Still, had to be done! :cool: So what to wear? A Frogman? Slightly modded: -GW-200MS (Military Frog) Case [the one that is blacked out with gloss black buttons] -GW-200TC (Triple Crown Blue...

    Merry christmas

    ^ What he said - though as a single teetotal aetheist orphan on a diet and with a load of paperwork to do I won't wish you a similar Christmas to mine :) I know I've got the G's I asked for - I bought them!

    What are your G-Shock plans for 2012?

    Razzle does indeed refer to the gentleman's art pamphlet for the more discerning man about town. Commonly found in the 70's as a mulch of sorts beneath the hedges of laybys and car parks. Shame on you for googling! :) As regards GSE - if you let them know that there are plenty of genuine...

    What are your G-Shock plans for 2012?

    Yep, the one you have. I like bright colours too but most G's seem to be black(ish). Maybe we ought to try for a G-Shockzone meeting next time GSE have an event, see how many we can get there and persuade them to give us a good discount :) Don't get to the Romford area that often but it does...

    eBay NOS G-Shock DW-8200-1A Frogman

    I saw that last night and was too lazy to post it! Nice watch, genuine seller who I have traded with before. Not too elaborate with the description but does supply good photos.
