A BATHING APE G SHOCK G-5500 LTD EDITION 100% AUTHENTIC according to the vendor. No feedback and not very good pictures. Good sales pitch though. Worth a punt? You decide :)...

A Froggie with no hands but still smelling strongly of rat: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Casio-G-shock-Titanium-Air-Divers-200m-Frogman-Rare-/150735006806?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item231881ac56#ht_500wt_1288

The Big Lebowski was on Film 4 a few weeks ago - I failed to see the 5900 on John Goodmans wrist :( In my defence I tend to watch films with IMDB open on the laptop and a book or magazine open as well. Brick Lane - yes, seriously considering the Timex but I want to make a good impression so...

Love the 5900, mine is currently on the keeperless shelf. Must get round to bulk ordering some cheap straps just for the keepers as previously discussed. Hope to go to Brick Lane tomorrow, what should I wear? You can never get bored of mudmen :) :

Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs in "The Heat of the Night" (1967) when asked by a racist deputy "whar do they call you back in Philadelphia?" Gave rise to the less successful sequel "They call me Mister Tibbs" (1970)

Buy from abroad, slows the post and the collection increase. Must think about selling a few ... Computers - shrug shoulders and start again from scratch - auto save and recovery failed :( :( :(

"Always have at least one in the post" - that's the rule I'm trying to work to as funds allow. Three coming from AUSTRIA - for some reason typed Germany above. Two for the metal/resin/hybrid debate and one for the oddities shelf. Just been on website to track the parcel - it was posted at...

@gshockpete - hope your problems are solved, welcome back! Today, busy. Parcel from Germany not yet arrived. Wore red DW-003-4

Belated "Hi!" Luis - and a happy new year! Nice G-Lide, I have similar but transparent purple. Seems like the dollar/GBP divide is still there - when I was involved with cameras it was a rule that a $100 piece of kit Stateside was £100 (plus VAT) in the UK. Same with G-Shocks :( Have you been...

Jus t to enter into the resin/metal debate: A hybrid - GW-1400DJ-1A (artificial light) (Daylight) I reserve the right to produce this in evidence in any future analogue v. digital debate to illustrate that analogue is easier to read than digiat angles above 45 degrees :cool: And can't...

@ Bubbly (They call me Mister Tubbs!) - what film is that I have just plagiarized? Anyway, deep sympathy on the man flu, I know how debilitating it can be, especially when the women around keep telling you it is nothing. Not sure if the comment several replies above about GSE is about me but I...

Got home this evening after a day on the DLR and happy in the news that one of the stations I will need to visit is Tower Gateway which is fairly close to Brick Lane. So the plan is to go there complete with my company debit card, sadly depleted after paying this quarter's VAT. Should be...

Nice! How does it feel after the first full day's wear? Compared to a King how big is it? More pics please!

That is a good price! I paid the same for mine from the cheapest store I could find - in Singapore - with the unavoidable wait for the watch to aqrrive and the worry that it would attract the interest of HMRC -we'em none too friendly with they revenooers down yer ont' coast. Excellent watch too!

But sean is right (I think) when it comes to froggies and the like where a titanium body is barely concealed beneath an off-the-shoulder resin bezel. I would certainly class those as metal resin hybrids. If you consider the bezel as decoration then frogs are definitely metal, just less so than...

Apologies but - CORRECTION - £350 to start the auction! Rare, understated for bezel and body at least. I imagine Sjors will have one and a few other major collectors but it is a fair premium for a pixellated watch strap. Certainly one to watch.

Looks a lot better in their own publicity shot but notice the lettering at the lower right button: Some junior buyer must have had a brainstorm on a visit to Marks' Chinese suppliers and thought that a Casio-alike was just the thing to enhance their image. There are no more for sale on their...

I noticed the title of this thread and wonder whether you have identified the model from the watchcom archives as it is listed as a G771 there but the correct model is G-7710-KRT3 Cant help with finding one but I occasionally buy from other than here or eBay and have set up a "look-out post"...

I notice that the seller is not shy of asking for extravagant postage to match his listing prose. You may not be subject to "customs duties for import from US or Japan" - so far I haven't had any duty to pay on Far East imports and have paid just VAT on one of my two US deals - but £10 is...
