Well, just about to set off for my annual Xmas meal and drinking session with 'the boys' and will be wearing this watch as I always do on the event. Xmas party time seems to be a good time to strap...

Here is a report from someone who visited the GS workshop, together with photos further down of some MRG cases in for work.

...

The Zaratsu polishing for the higher end G Shocks is indeed done in the same workshop as the polishing for GS.

This one though has the Tzuiki metalworking process, painstaking and expensive.

Well you can always create your own blue.

Casio brought back the AW-500 for just one 'Lovers' model in 1999.

It had long stopped producing the ordinary AW-500 and had moved on to resin cased analogues unlike the solid steel of the...

Very nice DD.

You have certainly been getting around recently.

Here are two AW-594s from 1994. They were part of a series of World Cup watches Casio issued that year as they were the official time keeping partner for FIFA.

Unfortunately Japan failed to...

I will show AW-500s next. AW stands for analogue watch and the 500 was the first analogue G Shock and date from 1989.

This is the AW-500B and has a full lume dial unusually. This model is one of...

Now up to 2015 and the GF-8250CM 'Camouflage' model.

Very nice.


Those Mudmasters are great useful watches if you can cope with the size.

Now 2010 and the GWF-1000G model. This was a limited run and was a bit of an homage to the original gold 'King of Frogman'.




...

Now 2009 and the first of the GWF-1000 frogman the basic model.

Just back from holiday so continuing the Frogman postings.

This is from 2008, the LRG Frog. This was a very limited edition and is very sought after.



...

Very nice DD.

Keep em coming. I will be in France myself for the next 2 or three weeks, love the place.

Moving to 2007, this is the GW-225C 'Master Blue'. This was issued as a special edition for the G Shock 25th anniversary. It had the smallest issue number of all the 25th anniversary models.



...

Now up to 2004. The GW-200CF 'Brazilian Frog'. Desirable and pricey. This is the Addict version of which there are 400.

Now in 2003, the GW-203K-4JR. This model has become more popular over the years and is quite striking.

Still in 2002 here is the GW-200BC 'Black Helios' model.

Casio sometimes come up with some strange concepts when naming a series, not sure what the hell 'Black Helios' means in relation to this...

Very nice.

The price might be high for a Casio but the quality is outstanding at the price level. Mine says hello.
