They will come down, wait a couple o months, search at forums like watchuseek, I've seen some used in sales corner, mint condition 300$, in fact there's one now, for 325$ if I'm no mistaken!

Yeah I try not to buy as soon as they release them.  It gives them a chance to get the bugs out. I also never pay retail for anything.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

I understand you, always looking for the best price, and best time to buy, definitely not when things just came to the market! Good luck I try one this week, and I'm just amazed on the quality, the visual and feel on the wrist! I would trade my citizen for one, not even think twice! But they will come lower and lower in price, we're waiting...

Just posted over on "what watch did you wear today?", but I figured this guy belongs over here as well. My first G-shock was an analog, but I hated having to manually set the time, so it got sold to a friend. I have only been wearing digital Gs since then, but I was just given this, and I love it. Much easier to set, and it just looks cool!

I like the contrast of teh green on the black dial - I think it would look killer with hour markers in the same green and a good lume job.
Sadly, the GA/GD cases are too big for my spindly wrists.
I have a GD 100, but I just can´t pull it off. And I keep snagging it on things.

Agree, those GA-100s are some of the best fit and value G's out there. I have two of them.



EDC and OCD. A wicked mix.

I hear you on the wrist size. when I first put it on, it felt huge. That said, when a pretty gal gives you a nice watch, I believe that you better wear the thing as often as possible! So what if it's a little big on my wrist? Also, I know it's the MT.O way, but why would you give me ideas such as adding more green? That would be amazing!  :ahhh

Also posted elsewhere, this multiband Mudman is my latest acquisition. It's been a lot of fun and the only thing I had to get used to are the buttons. Being part of the protective bezel, they must be pressed harder than regular buttons. My finger/thumb are now quite conditioned to them :tu:

Seeing this makes me think about my latest purchases - I have a Gulfman in another odd colour coming in (orange), should pop out of my assortment of black watches as nice as your bliue one!

I hope the shipment will arrive soon and the G inside will get a prominent place eitehr on your wrist or in the box!

Mate sorry forgot to tell ya, the watch was sold, there is a bunch of knock offs for sale here for 20€, they look horrendous!

But I'm waiting on a package that will arrive from Germany, from the usual suspect, and I'm considering to sell a watch the beginning of the next month, and for now, the king is probably the one, if decide myself to sell it, I let know if you're interested!

sadly, I view things like this as a problem to society (or a valid reflection of our society, and that is even more terrifying)

Personally, I do not judge people based on any trivial thing such as a watch, clothes, etc.  I look for knowledge, abilities, and results.

but I also would wear a G-Shock to a business meeting, and feel that the problem does not lie with me being in the meeting with a G-Shock, but rather the problem is in those who judge me based on that fact.
If I can help, let me know

Não vieram do lidl estas, apesar de ter visto lá e quando fui comprar já não havia, as coisas la desaparecem.... a maior veio de uma papelaria, e rondou os 50€, a mais pequena foi mesmo dos chineses, custou 7.50, e para o preço digo te boa qualidade até para o dinheiro pena levar poucos relógios!

That's wrong totally wrong, you should never judge anyone for there appearance, and when you do it, then you are problem you are the snob!
And wearing expensive things, that doesn't mean you are better then others, that doesnt mean that you have the right to walk on the street with you're head raised, felling that you are the greatest of the greatest! And I see a lot things like this happen every single day!

Printed Wingman or Sidekick, I guess? I do liek nicely arranged gear sets. But I guess this will be a little bit out of my price range.
Do you know if this is an official Casio release or made/arranged by a distributor/dealer?

I watched it muted so I would not wake up my daughter snoring away peacefully on teh sofa beside me. I will not visit any G-Shock dealership soon, just for my own safety... Unless someone forces me to go there and spend THEIR money and ship it on. :pok:

Very cool, but I have to think the price will be outrageous. Still awesome though. Not that I will be buying one, but for the (assumingly) high price tag they could of picked a higher end tool than the Wingman/Sidekick.
