Glad indeed - thought it was done. Contact cleaner should indeed be good for PCBs although it is pretty strong stuff. When cleaning up a PCB on a plastic toy previously some split and melted the plastic pretty badly, as such I'd be wary of using on resin directly. Be an interesting comparison...

Finally had a quiet few minutes to take a look at this. Back off, new batteries in. Nothing. Doh. Tested the old batteries fitted, supposedly new Sonys, both were flat. New cheapo eBay batteries showed 1.5v as expected. Took batteries in and out a few times and tried AC, once or twice got...

Newly fixed Wademan :D

Top price indeed....sadly gone :(

On my one and only visit I also noted GSE had a few collabs on sale, think they had the Alfie x G-Shock G-5500 amongst others. Although the price wasn't as good as your bargains ! Wonder if the real hardcore collectors are getting their stuff from GSE (or GSW) maybe preferring to buy online to...

Was that when you picked up a few others? Cracking price, the playsets always seem to go for proper money so surprised GSE are offering them at such a good discount.

That is indeed an interesting idea. However can't say I'm 100% liking the end product....

£60 is a top price for a PS model. Did they have many in stock? When did you pick it up?

Sure someone outside Japan will get one on release and try it with a few other models. Be interesting to hear if they work or not ...

Do you mean GW-200MS-1JF Men In Rusty Black Frogman vs DW-8250Y-9T Men In Yellow Frogman? Tough call :D if you have to get one personally I'd go with the GW-200 series because I like this range and normally go with black watches, however the MIY is probably more collectable and has more retro...

Good stuff and good luck tracking down a mint DW-5300, sadly resin rot seems to claim many a bezel.

DW-004 looking much better, love the model # ;). Did you re-dye band and bezel? Will keep an eye on eBay for a genuine WWII era G-Shock ;) Given the weather here today is vaguely nautical gone with the gulfman

Cool. As per our article on the GB-6900 announcement battery life should be two years given 12 hours a day connection. Also Casio indicate that as of release the GB-6900 will support models on two Japanese networks - whether the phone will 'just work' with other models like the iphone or android...

What froggie you after next? Another new or retro?

Tiktox and Casio themselves can supply straps and bezels in the UK. I'd try them for the PS band and bezel although often the rarer ones don't end up as spares. Guess if the eBay seller is doing enough mods he'd end up with stock of bands and bezels. Either way nice idea for 10 minutes work per...

I see on the paint, looked a bit like Halfords with all the tins ;) Hope you can bring the old DW-004 back to something half decent. Pic from the Samsung looks good. Cool looking device, went to Android last year after being an avowed Symbian user.

Welcome to the site :D Know what you mean about wearing a G without having to worry. Do you still have the Mission Impossible set? Either way look forward to pics of the incoming Gravity Defier and others which I'm sure will follow ;)
