    Frogman Airdiver DW-8200 Limited edition Are you experts certain that Casio didn't make a Frog with hands? There seem to be a lot of them about :D

    WRUW : 14th Nov -> 19th Nov

    Nice piece of kit. I love some of the Casio calculators and TV remotes and the like. Now for today - a lesson in trying to wear a watch with an extra long strap for wearing over clothes without its keeper: Who is to blame for this? Well, it was a post in the eBay, Amazon and...

    G-Shock Army Green Series

    @seanobsdot Uk has a lot of restrictions brought in very quickly after each of two mass shootings. Shotgun ownership is reasonably lax with the police needing show that there is no due cause for you to own one but we are restricted to maximum three shot before re-loading and no detachable...

    G-Shock Army Green Series

    @rutteger The driver has a seat fixed to the bottom of the vehicle hull, the commander is on a padded platform behind that is on a scissor lift arrangement allowing sitting or standing so that he can stand and look out of the turret, sit and still see or, when at its lowest sit with...

    G-Shock Army Green Series

    Sorry but postage to the US would be a touch expensive. And I have been burnt by PayPal before. Cash on the nail only. Got a lovely little Abbot, one careless owner (MoD), never raced or rallied, open to offers. Can organise shipping to NY too ... In the UK private ownership of ex military...

    @rutteger - what colour is the body and bezel of your 2500? Mine is a dark army green, almost but not quite black at first glance but obviously green when put alongside a standard black G-Shock.

    If the name reflected the conditions in which I have just been working it wouldn't just be "Mudman" - more like "Broken glass, used syringe, broken concrete, low headroom, rusty metal, empty cider can, abusive drunks, mudman." Doesn't quite have the same ring to it though... And here is a...

    G-Shock Army Green Series

    Once you guys have ordered and received your choice of military series watch could I suggest (and supply) a military series vehicle to go with it? Anything from a jeep to a Challenger tank available!

    Can you identify mystery G SHock??

    "Had a purple second hand" - did the watch have hands only or was it a combination of hands and digital dials? Was it advertised as being "radio controlled", "atomic" or "tough solar", "solar powered"? Black plastic strap or metal bracelet? A touch more detail will help :)

    Let's see your 1st G-Shock

    A DW-6600 bought for use as a dive watch. My idea of when is fairly hazy but it was when the watch had recently been introduced. I was an instructor at the time (BSAC) and remember telling my students about the bargain watch you could get from Argos for £45. Battery went after a couple of years...

    WRUW : 14th Nov -> 19th Nov

    Nice easy-read display for the first part of the day, a trip to the new Blackfriars South rail station currently being built with a less than pristine DW-003X-4T. Got home to find a red card from the postman plus a jiffy bag that hadn't needed a signature. Now wearing the contents: Another...

    WRUW : 14th Nov -> 19th Nov

    Ah, yes it did, remember now. So that's another 40 pence to bump up the price! Not showing as a model in the watchshock com archives so I did a bit of an image search to come up with the full model number - DW-003TB-7VT - there is one in Japan, pristine NOS for 16.000 yen. At that price I can...

    At the opposite end of the expense scale - Working at home yesterday and today, reports from my trip via various stations to Edinburgh, Work Package Plans for Network Rail and traffic management and sign schedules for my club's four day military vehicle show. Not bad for a bloke wot drills...

    eBay Frogman special edition

    Just clicked the link eBay message: This listing (280768578453) has been removed, or this item is not available. eBay seem to be fairly quick on responding to reports on counterfeit and trademark violations. But regarding losing battle - you are right, the place is flooded with fake Bapes and...

    eBay G-Shock DW-002 'Bob Marley'

    Third or fourth time this has been on offer - a couple of no takers for buy-it-nows of about £60 and one auction I thought had gone through. Tempted myself but the "slight misting common to this model" is a bit worrying

    Gasp! You mean ... it's a ringer? Actually as soon as I had finished laughing and posted the thread opener I mailed the seller with this: The sale is still in progress. Time for me to assume my less charitable persona ...
