First Post and 'Family Photo'
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I was interested in reading and learning more about G-Shock watches. I also collect mechanicals but G-Shocks are, of course, waaaay cooler! This morning, I made a phone pic of my little family taking the morning sun...all except for my newest G, the GW-5000-1JF screwback--just picked that one up today and I REALLY like it! I'll upload a pic later, maybe, but I'm sure everyone's already seen 'em.
Here's some exciting watch-nerd news: after always getting spotty reception for MultiBand6 calibration, I found a spot in the house where I get very reliable first-try GETs. So, I bought a crappy little table at IKEA (see pic), placed it in the "hot spot," and now my radio-enabled models get adjusted every night! Life can be beautiful. Heh...now I call that place "The Calibration Station." It's so fun to see the hands on the analog models ticking away in perfect synch...guess I'm weird. Anyway...hi, and I'll post questions when they occur to me. BTW: that's not a typo in the pic--I have actually owned a perfectly functional DW-6600 for 23 years. This weekend, I'm gonna try to replace the battery because the backlight, which is actually still pretty good, seems like it could possibly be a little brighter. Besides, it's already 8 years into its latest "2-year" battery. I bought a little watchmakers' tool kit and some dielectric grease for the gasket...wish me luck! heh.
