Look Ma, no buttons! G-Cool, GC-1001, module 2258. buttons are hidden under flexible sidepieces. Day counter and 10 memory stopwatch/lap timer Colour is a bit manky because picture taken in fluorescent light.

Not got time today to work my way through the collection seeing which ones need attention due to clocks going back but this wee new acquisition sorted itself out. Can't find an exact match in the watchshock archive so all I can say is that it is a DW-9500 something with a 2163 module. A pleasant...

Nice Garmin - again with the matching shirt! Lazy Sunday morning watching the Indian Grand Prix. Wearing this DW-6100 - the "G" isn't the light button but the thermometer sensor. Hell of a rise from 16.6 C off the wrist to close to 30 when worn. The function shown in the picture is date, 30...

@rutteger - certainly not Ironman and definitely predates G-Shock, the watch in question was analog before the term was invented as there were no digitals around. But as for model number ... @Amontgomery, yes please, more pics!

Let's keep it mainstream for the moment but I'm up for pictures of watches in context - military series and firearms, Risemen at altitude and Froggies at depth. Let's do it :)

My G-Shocks at g-shockzone.com

Indeed - 6600, easy to read display, no clutter and probably the best backlight amongst the Gs. So today ... Not even a G-Shock. Following the trend for non Gs shown recently here is my newly acquired £15 "formal" watch, 200m static water resistance (but not recommended for diving with air...

Surprisingly it failed to sell. the seller has now relisted it and has spent a lot more time in crafting a compelling listing I'm no eBay expert but I have had some success in selling motors possibly due to my habit of providing a detailed description and using my full allowance of 12 photos...

Nice choice. Pictures of the new arrival will be appreciated and no doubt cooed over by the "mothers" in here :devilish: As an aside I became responsible for our military collectors club publicity last Thursday at our AGM - I think we should start a military wing of this forum with reduced...

I think it is rather more of a gentle application of heat rather than a rolling boil. And it is probably a good idea to remove the resin parts to place in the water and leave the module and inner case on the side of the stove in the dry. I have certainly heard of warming a new bezel before...

`Back when I were a nipper and the Archers on the Home Service has just trumped the opening night of an upstart broadcaster called ITV, Timex had an advert where a child strapped one of their watches around the hub of his bike wheel and pedalled around a motocross course. A forerunner of the...

G-Shock soup anyone? the story I heard was that the buttons are stiffer because of the construction though I fail to see that keeping out mud is any different to keeping out water. I am considering taking a spares/repair G-Shock and putting through a washing machine with a normal load of...

My favourite as a DW-6600 was my first G-Shock many years ago and was the first one I changed a battery on. Languished in a drawer for many years because of the high cost of getting a jeweller to send it away and have it pressure tested. If I had known how easy it was ... If anyone has a tatty...

@ gshockpete - like the 5600, the pink "GSHOCK" really sets it off. Do you buy your shirts to match the watches or is it the other way round? :rolleyes: Been a touch busy over the last couple of days so this is the omnibus edition. Wednesday late start so grabbed a package from the...

If you can live with a negative display which, for me, is hard to read unless at the correct angle then the G-9000-3V is my choice. Buttons are far stiffer to operate than a standard G though. Mine was off eBay, new for fifty quid delivered from Hong Kong. That was the first time I had tried...

Difficult to tell if the button is too far recessed without seeing a picture. I assume that the button functions as expected? Would have thought that the watch would still be fine for avoiding fluid damage at surface pressure, not certain about at 200m depth equivalent. Opinion is divided about...

Made £205 plus 8 quid (excessive!) for postage. With some decent photos and a bit more description could have made more perhaps? It amazes me that people look to sell an expensive item so casually - one poor picture and a couple of lines sent from a mobile phone - it's the same with that joker...

Working in Streatham on a machine that couldn't be unlocked. Plenty of vibration from drilling and hammering. Took this to site: G-1800D

A touch out of my price bracket though I do like the GA110 series - have a look for yourselves

Getting ready to rain down here on south coast - I am trying out various weather sites to see which one to bookmark for multiple forecasts for locations around UK. Not sure about the "not the normal module", it's what is engraved on the back. Nice Riseman but I must say I prefer my old DW-9100...
