G-Shock Japan December 2013 New Release

[rutteger]

Guess most will have seen these before, the Eminem has certainly been about for months.

Looks like Casio Japan have only announced two new models for December 2013 so far, the G-Shock MTG-S1030BD-1AJR 30th Anniversary and Eminem x G-Shock GD-X6900MNM-1JR.

Couple of interesting models, anyone have either on pre-order?

I'm looking at the MNM, should hit the island later this week.

I have committed to the 30th anniversary MTG, but it will show up here early February. Plenty of time to save up!

Darn, that S1010 looks mean!

Too rich for my blood, though.

There's an unboxing thread I'll look forward to Chris

The S1010 looks fantastic. Be interested to put it head to head against a Swiss premium....

Does anyone know what sort of price is the MTG likely to be and where can one be picked up.

Yen retail is 120,000 which is around USD$1200 / GBP £720.

They've had similar super limited editions in at Casio London / G-Shock East in the past iirc, guess they might get one of these in. Otherwise guess it's a Japanese pre-order.

At first sight it seems very expensive but this MTG watch is also close to an MRG one (except DLC feature).

The limited edition MTG model number is MTG-S1030BD-1AJR, fyi

Saw a couple on ebay earlier for £1000+

The Covent Garden store is selling the regular MTG-S1000 at a whopping £880 :/

So I'd assume there would be a bit of a premium on top of that for the anniversary model probably around £950 I reckon - and that's if they get it... (I think they might, but if you're interested you can always ask )

You have to take into consideration our VAT of 20% here in the UK, add that on top of the best Japanese or US price you find. Mind you I did see a S1000 on sale at Heathrow T5 as I was passing in October for around £770. (not quite the full 20% off retail!)
