    A quick question about G-shock pakaging.

    If you buy online, especially from those that provide "free" postage, the tin is often left out to save weight and thus post cost. But some do come in tins and some in cardboard boxes direct from Casio. No particular reason to it

    What have you got incoming?

    I don't think UV light and plastics are a particularly good combination but I don't have the knowledge or expertise to say for a certainty that this is the case with the resin used in G-Shocks. An article from the ever reliable and unbiased Wikipaedia...

    What have you got incoming?

    I know what you mean about travelling watches - one I bought from Kung Fusion in California has ended up in Oz, the Dawn Black JDM from the Welsh Valleys has gone to North Carolina. I once had a very dirty week in a caravan in Skeggy so have fond memories of the place. :victorious: But I will...

    Ah, no. Not sold as a beater so paid a fair price for it seeing as the resin is nice and white. Won't need a dye job unless itgets left out in the sun but as it has the original box it should have a nice dark environment for most of the time. But if you do buy a "beater" from Paul - get your...

    First custom project

    Hi Andy, The bezels for DW-6600 (nice watch!) and the DW-6900 are interchangeable so you have the option of finding a bezel you like either on eBay or elsewhere - tiktox.com are good people to check for bezels and straps. Alternatively you can go the stealth route which basically involves...

    They aren't as expensive as the hypercolours. I had been toying with buying one of the monochrome versions (GA-110C-1AER) brand new - £80 from a UK dealer with 100% feedback - but this appeared on auction and I think I like it rather more than the all grey. Only attracted 6 bidders.

    What have you got incoming?

    I like the GA-110 range, have a yellow/purple and a black/gold but always seem to get outbid on the orange green when they come up on eBay. If you look beyond the hyper colour hype they are very capable watches though difficult to read in the more garish versions. This came up for sale and...

    WRUW : 30th April -> 6th May

    Still beating and will do so for the next few weeks as I am spending my days up to the oxters in the guts of machines. So the sacrificial GW-500U gets plenty of wrist time. I like it because it is easy to read, shows correct time - agrees with the railway clocks and doesn't seem to suffer...

    Import tax duty

    Eh, someone call my name, sorry, been asleep. So far I have had no problems with imports from Singapore, Japan, China or Hong Kong. If you are buying from the US expect to pay VAT, import duty and collection charge on anything that arrives, very occasionally something sneaks through under the...

    70+ G-Shocks and others to choose from yet I have spent most of the week with my beater. Bought last July to act as the "sacrificial anode" to my GW-3000B to make a collection of 2 Gs. Then the red mist descended and when I woke up there were 70 G-Shocks grinning at me :D Quick shot while on...
