Im saving for this one
That's something very very very special. The most expensive Frogman. Tell us when you're ready :-)
Yes same here :-) The whole range is magnificent. Thanks a lot.
I saw that on fleabay. Not even a phot of the dial!! And 30k!!! How much would It have been new?
then the one on yahoo auctions is a bargain at 7.5k!!

Damn this thread - it would seem I now have the G-Shock bug also!
I'd previously written off the idea due to these being too big, too plastic, too garish and a not really very stylish. My view has now changed. Within the space of a couple of weeks I bought a new AWG-M100, then a rather nice GW-5000 from SC and now I've just agreed on a GW-3000M. There are others on my 'want' list already.
I've no doubt that I'll keep a couple of nice stainless steel autos for 'best', but G's are a relatively inexpensive way to get my watch kicks. With so many models out there though it could be easy to get carried away!
Damn you all!
Just these two
This is my latest after a fair few....
...others include
Very nice @Mcb2007 and @RogertheDodger. My sweet & sour choice on Saturday :-)
I had one of these, it was awesome. Wish I still had it
That's hands-down the best G I've ever owned.
After the arrival today of the G-8900......
....I'm awaiting the arrival of another DW-5600e:
And the Froggy party continues :-) GWFT 1030-9
Great Sunday gents
Stussy Bape Frogman
Does that mudman have an amazing led double backlight where the whole dial including the white area lights up like a torch? - very cool!
I've been wearing my frogman all weekend and sadly it has to be the most uncomfortable watch in the history if the world, which is a bit annoying. Either too loose or too tight - it's been put away until the summer, it doesn't mix well with jumper or coat cuffs!
Pass the Frogman to me, ill give it a good home!
:-) ;-) :-)
Yep that the one both the back light and the White light up
That's the trouble. I do really like the frogman (and it was a bargain) - as a gadget to look at it's great, and I have large enough wrists etc so it looks acceptable on the wrist - but if I'm brutally honest I don't find it any more functional (in fact in real life probably less functional) than a dw-5600. Alarm is feeble, all a bit men. But it does look cool!
I've always liked Froggies but they're just too large for me. I remember when the series was updated with the release of the even larger GWF-1000BP-1JF, all the modern functions, an appealing colour and shape. I'd really like one but it would simply look rather silly on my wrist, given these dimensions: (HxWxD) 58.3 x 52.8 x 18.0mm. Still that large size hasn't prevented many small-wristed fanciers going for it.
Poor mans Frogman for me
Two for me (though the second arrived an hour ago and will be replacing the first):
1. GW-M5610-1ER but on the separately bought composite strap that is normally found on the negative display version:
2. Newly arrived upgrade: MTG-1500B-1A1EF
Happy!

Thanks :-) :-)These froggys are awesome!!
I thought mine looked a bit large, those look ridiculous!
Yours looks like a good fit to me.
I suppose I could use one as a bedside clock...
Ranger
They're getting better and better you have a fantastic collection, that's a great looking G.Ranger
Thanks a lot. Very kind @barryw:-) Glad you guys like it. I'm trying to show them all bit by bit :-) :-)
I used to have a few on display but the thought of the dreaded resin rot used to bug my so most of them have gone now and I'm down to about 12 currently.
Oh wow thats massive. Great collection indeed.I used to have a few on display but the thought of the dreaded resin rot used to bug my so most of them have gone now and I'm down to about 12 currently.
Amazing! I don't think I could have faced getting rid of a collection like that.
Finally got the strap delivered for this:
And now awaiting the next project:
There's something really icky about that watch and that colour...And now awaiting the next project:
Mudman
Now the fun begins.
Just arrived today. My first ever G Shock. Part of the Japan only Rescue Orange range. It's a M5610MR-4JF. Impressed with it so far.
That is lovely
That's a really nice shade of orange, not too bright, just right.
May I ask where it can be purchased from?
Myrwatches.com €129 and free shipping. Ordered it on Monday and it was delivered on Thursday. Good service and the euro exchange rate is good at the moment.
Thanks, wow that's tempting!
GWFT 1000BS Frogman Basel World Ruby
Wow, I love those rubies. An amusing twist on how we usually think of G-Shocks. :-)
