    What have you got incoming?

    Hi Dave, looks like you went for the more restrained version. I have only had mine a couple of hours as well and, like you, rather like the watch and its features. Shame it only displays 7 characters at a time, "macspit" doesn't quite work for me.

    What have you got incoming?

    Does that mean that the Riseman band will be on sale - because mine needs a keeper!

    What have you got incoming?

    And here it is, courtesy of ParcelFarce who at least had the sense to leave it at the local post office rather than take it 20 miles back to their depot: G-7800GL-9, 70 euros from blue-tomato.com - sorry, this was the last one :( Custom messages, variable contrast, choice of fonts, I can...

    WRUW : 23rd April -> 29th April

    Got my brand new velcro strap today - via eBay - £10 and threaded it through the adapters from an eBay DW-6900 bezel set - £11.50 - which transformed an old DW-6600 - eBay £9.80. And now I have a contrasting Frankenwatch to mirror Captain Jack's DW-069 (£31, eBay!): A "lover's pair" perhaps...

    Water Resist 200M Question on a DW-6600?

    My DW-6600, bought when they first came out, survived ten years of regular diving in the sea. Got put in drawer when I couldn't see why the local jeweller wanted £40 to send the watch to Casio for a new battery so treated myself to an analog Seiko instead. Revived the watch last August with a...

    WRUW : 16th Apr - > 22nd Apr

    Been out today selling an old truck, starting a Discovery that hadn't been run for 5 months and trying not to get involved with putting the engine back in our howitzer. So I needed a beater. And here it is. Just played around for three minutes in Picasa to produce this - can you see what it is...

    Some 1999 collab!

    Only the 9V is shown on watchshock http://watchshock.com/archive/Casio/G-Shock/DW-00x/DW-003HU-9V/ All 3 have the 1199 module from the DW-6600 which has a very good backlight, no indication if these are plain or have a logo in the backlight. Fairly simple module giving alarm, timer, stopwatch...

    New Casio UK flagship store

    Just come back from the barracks where we keep various vehicles and our howitzer. There has been a breakin - most likely army brats and they have trashed a caravan and entered a couple of my vehicles. So tomorrow is going to be weaving more barbed wire into the fencing and beefing up security...

    eBay Loads of Frogman (frogmen?) and a Mazda

    Not a fan of German cars myself. Beautifully constructed perhaps but cold, soul-less. Give me something flawed but fun any time. It's not sour grapes or ignorance either, in my time I have had a couple of Mercs, a Jensen Interceptor, BMW M535i (two of them), Maserati Bi-turbo, Bristol 410...

    WRUW : 16th Apr - > 22nd Apr

    For about a month I have heard a faint bleeping sound from somewhere in my bedroom at odd hours of the day and night. I hadn't bothered much about finding it, none of the beaters on the bedside table were the culprits and by the time the noise had registered it only lasted a couple of seconds...

    Frogman GF-1000 quick review... 2 weeks late

    I was wearing my GWF-1000 tonight to a club committee meeting (5 weeks to the show detailed below and a hell of a lot of work to do!) As I am left handed I wear watches on my right wrist - the "wrong" way for an asymmetrical watch like a froggie. I have 7 inch wrists but the frog felt perfectly...

    WRUW : 16th Apr - > 22nd Apr

    Nice one Dave! The iPhone camera seems quite capable in the right lighting, I had a 3Gs which surprised me on occasion. Tried Lightroom a while ago and didn't get on with it. Being a cheapskate I use the open source GIMP for graphics and photo processing when the situation requires, for...
