Recently had the pleasure to have my GWF-D1000-1 signed by Mr. Satoshi Tanida, the man behind the Frogman model/design.
Him and a small team from Casio JP were in town for a few days and he was kind enough to oblige to what most likely seemed to be a very strange request to sign a watch, I think he did not want to ”destroy” the watch by writing too much on it...
It will be put aside now and a new wearer has arrived to fill its place in the daily rotation.
My G-9300
Excellent G-Shock, wears very well considering the size and the mudman buttons are excellent.
So two friends and I went for a leisurely kayak tonight after supper and stumbled upon a big rocky island ...
Sorry guys, this brief opportunity was too good to pass. Men in Rescue Orange.
In the gym for the first time in months. G-Shock for company. Apologies for the milky döner kebab in shot.

Its a new DW-5600-1VER to which Ive fitted a new orange jelly bezel and strap bought from a chap in Canada
The strap is nice and comfy with a softer feel to it than the original - not as rubbery as a GW-5000 though.
A fun exercise but Im not sure whether I will wear it much
Did the Carnaby Street store get the Kolor limited edition in yesterday and was anyone lucky enough to get one?
I was in central London but did not make it up to carnaby street...
MB today

Are you based at EGPK?

Glad you got one Ken, it really is a fresh look in white and very summer, looks great on a tanned wrist but probably not so good in January where it blends in to my pasty white skin tone :)
You must have just about every colour now? reminds me of your Orient Mako collection/obsession :)
Your watch journey has been so interesting to observe this last few years, well done mate constantly jealous
I absolutely love those.
One of the few relatively recent G i actually covet. Most of the recent product is just too big for me.
Although, paradoxically i love the king of G, and have 'nearly bought one' a couple of times!
Im currently looking for a greenyblue or orange gba800 if anyone has one for sale?
Thanks Dave
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Reverse display is an issue, which definitely narrows the field!
In any case, I'm trying to narrow down the Gs. I think i only have two left now, with another incoming, which is fairly sensible and id like to keep it that way!
Have a black gba 800 incoming. Would probably chop that in if another colour turns up!!
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Thanks Craig. I think getting my first G Shock, the 35th anniversary silver full metal was a kind of revelation. When I did that mini review on it I suggested that it could be the only Watch you need. Well certainly the only type of watch you need as I have now sold off all my 'normal' watches including the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase and the Smiths Radio Room and used the money to pick up other models in the range.
Although there are loads of different models in this thread, I personally like the solar squares that are linked to something that regulates them. The Bluetooth facility is fun, but not an essential.
On the colours, it is a case of buying what looks interesting or a bit of fun. I bought Ian's 30th anniversary Red and liked the look of the White from images on here. The 30th anniversary Yellow also appeals if I can find one for sale.
It is great to be able to chop and change on a daily basis by simply popping them on the wrist.
Yes, similarities to the Mako collection indeed, only they needed to be set up each time.
All good fun, which is what it should be
Found a photo of the positive dial on my phone.
Ken, on EBay someone has listed a Porter with a gold and a steel in the case - 3 watch set for $10k !
Quite some mark up !
I’m wearing my GW1000-RAF-1AER limited edition today. I haven’t worn it in ages.
That looks great V.
Canadian eBay seller
Brand new but not sure whether its genuine or not
£35 plus import duty
He didn't have many and sold out quickly
Wish Id bought a couple!
That looks fantastic. Wonder how the transparent jelly would wear over time. Shame the module isn't transparent too, imagine a skeleton G Shock!
My girlfriends new one

Hi all
First post so be gentle!
Really like the GG-1000 and see that eBay is full of them around the £145 mark
Are these legit and not copies?
Cheers TIA
