    eBay Original DW-5000

    Is it worth the £375 asking price? (for me the answer is no!) If that is the worth of a messed around DW-5000 what is an original worth? And how rare are they in reality, often something is advertised on eBay as "rare" when there are several examples for sale. Must admit that it is the first...

    got addicted to GShock GA-110

    I like the Hypers too, have a black and gold and a yellow/purple which I wore yesterday, popped into the office (I normally work on site) and got loads of comments about the watch. Great to look at but difficult to read!

So any further details from mlearned colleagues welcome It's not a G-Shock so apologies for that but it is a Casio with...

    From a GW-300-2608 to a MTG-900-2638

    Hi Looey, Any luck with your GW-300? I was wearing my daily driver yesterday, the watch that doesn't get treated with any respect and I realised that it was a solar atomic with easy to read digits. Sub dials are a poain though, with or without glasses. It only cost me £40 /$60 off eBay "new...

    What aRe yoU Wearing (WRUW!) 19th Sept -> 25th Sept

    Don't know about the DW-6900H-4, I think they are relatively common in Europe but I am intrigued to find out to what the phrase on the strap refers. Went out last night to our military vehicle club monthly meeting so thought I would give this its first outing: As a triumph of form over...

    From a GW-300-2608 to a MTG-900-2638

    From pictures the GW-300 seems to have large, clear digits. I need glasses to properly see the time on a digital wrist watch, analog is so much easier to see at a glance (though Hypercomplex needs careful scrutiny) As for the bracelet being delicate, I haven't found any problems with the...

    What aRe yoU Wearing (WRUW!) 19th Sept -> 25th Sept

    Bought late Monday afternoon, on my wrist 11:00 Wednesday morning: A DW-6697 Code Name Slightly sad in that this is man's watch from a lover's pair. The Baby-G would have a witch on the strap as one of the pairings for 1997 was the Witch and the Dragon. From http://www.javys.com/casio...

    What aRe yoU Wearing (WRUW!) 19th Sept -> 25th Sept

    Working today but not doing too much in the way of watch bashing activity so I thought I would give this DW-6900H-4 an airing. Bought recently from lowtech on WUS. Had it been eBay then feedback would have been 5 stars in all aspects. A pleasant, friendly guy to deal with who packs with care and...

    What aRe yoU Wearing (WRUW!) 12th Sept -> 18th Sept

    This scrapes in for the week's selection, though the picture was taken this morning it is the watch I wore to the Goodwood revival yesterday. A nice non G-Shock that to me has a retro feel. And in case you are wondering who this rich bloke is - the ticket was free, in exchange for our club...

    Update: I sent him this message - "Dear manmountain10, Which Chinese dropshipper are you using for these fakes? I can get these delivered for 11 dollars so I think you are being a little greedy. Can put you in touch with supplier if you wish" Within 10 minutes got this reply "someone called...

    eBay Nasty "GA-110" on sale for 79.99

    What's your opinion on these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Casio-G-Shock-Analog-Digital-Watch-/160654030684?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2567b9f75c#ht_500wt_1288 I sent the seller a private message, if he doesn't respond then I think a report to eBay is in order.

    Looking for advice on an army green G Shock

    It's not easy to accurately show the colour on screen but these are a dark military green, not black. I wasn't expecting the strap to be the same green eiother, that came as a pleasant surprise. The screen is obviously not a negative screen which may be a minus point for some but it is great for...

    Looking for advice on an army green G Shock

    Then there is this version of the 7900 the GW-7900MS-3ER which ticks the solar/atomic boxes. Nicer display than the non atomic/solar G-7900 in my opinion, easy to read. Fairly subdued green backlight. I may be wrong but I think these may be going out-of-stock soon, only a couple of listings on...
