Back again my Men In Rescue Orange Gulfman has finally got too dirty to be respectable any more, so I need a replacement.

I want a Mudman this time, and the Men In Rusty Black G-9000MS-1 has caught my eye.

I may be being dense, but I can't find it at any of the usual places. Can anyone help? Google only brings up 3 retailers, 1 has the wrong watch listed, 1 is out of stock and the third is a .de (German?) site asking for cash on delivery...

G-Shock?

Too dirty?

Put it through the dishwasher, ffs.

Too orangey for crows!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get this from and how long have you had it? Are you pleased with it?

Think I'll be breaking my G-Shock cherry with one of these (GW-7900MS-3ER, right?) soon.

Cheers

Got it off Amazon a few weeks back. I like it a lot; the nylon strap with a woven outer and bright orange inner makes a nice change. It's really comfy, too.

It's a big bugger, so twiglets need not apply.

ETA size comparison with 45.5mm PO:



You can comfortably hide the PO behind the G-Shock if you put the G on top. It looks big, is big, and wears big. But oh, so comfy!

Great, glad to hear that. It is a great looking watch, definitely one of my favourite G-Shocks. I'll get one bought in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers

Tried that, on the hottest wash it will do. Then I bleached it overnight. Then dishwasher again.

It's just 2 years' worth of ingrained grime, and it's a bright orange watch.

Pretty sure its discontinued now, you'll be left with new old stock.

Found one for some reason the Google results on the computer aren't the same as the Google results on my phone... smartphone fail

I think you're just dirty.

Good, because I have one. I never wear the thing and was thinking of sending you a PM and offering it if you get stuck.

I put it on this morning, and fell in love with it again.

It's a keeper !

Apologies in advance for the cack photo, Just acquired this today, number 3 of 10 limited addition released to mark the opening of G-Shock East:

[GALLARDOGUY]

Only 10? Blimey.

I got an all black GX56 and a yellow frogman today.

Surprised how heavy the frogman is compared to other G's.

Very happy with both.

I'd like to have a frogman but the price is slightly off putting, for the price of one G (albeit a top of the range one) you can get five perhaps six other Gs, maybe Mrs Zigzag will be feeling generous for my birthday

[GALLARDOGUY]

Only paid £160 for it. Private deal so there aren't anymore to be had, otherwise I would've PM'd you a link.

[agentzigzag]

That is a cracking price, I would have put in an order too.

Have another limited edition thingy.

Unwanted gift. Quick sale needed. Tag on it says US $450.

A case of right place, right time.

I had the same stroke of luck with the above limited edition watch, managed to acquire it for under half the original retail price, im lead to believe its worth a hell of a lot more. Even if its not its still an interesting addition to the collection.

[GALLARDOGUY]

It's not something I'd wear but to a collector it would be of great interest. I'm sure you will made a few quid on it if you sell it on.

A Rubik Magic Puzzle!

Oh, nice Riseman too

There's something really appealing about the white G Shocks - but I know withing a few weeks of owning one it would be grubby and I'd be pissed off.
