That there green one above is very cool indeed. I think g shocks are about being durable and tough and functional but also shouldn't necessarily be too serious IMHO. I would probably feel a little self concious wearing it but nethertheless like it very much. The most adventurous I have managed so far is black with red writing on it - not sure of the model no.

Looks like Amazon have a bitof a sale on G-Shocks at the moment.
Also, where is a good place to buy parts to modify one? I have a Ga-110 I want to have a play with.

£28!!! Feck. That's cheap. Do you get buttons and back? I've got a spare Riseman strap and case.
Thats just the internal movement, nothing else (although it does arrive with a battery already installed).Here is an example of the non solar 'basic' movement costs, about 2months back I got some prices as I have an old 6900 that I'm customizing. I already have a new bezel but want to replace the standard old movement with something more bling. I want to fit maybe this movement....
Direct from casio UK parts department... £27.50 + £2.50 shipping (which takes about 3 days max from experience).
If It's a solar movement then you need to add on a bit more unfortunately. I was quoted on a new MGT-930 Radio controlled/solar movement and it was £76 Expect a Riseman to be slightly more.

Thanks for that. Sounds like it'd be cheaper to buy a really well-worn Riseman and extract the internals. If you only get the movement, though, do you have to buy the buttons, springs, screws etc separately?
You can buy all the parts of the watch individually I think. The buttons are actually fitted into the case so invariably if your movement fails you don't need the buttons.
Like I said, my price quote is just the movement nothing else.

Oh. I bought a second-hand case and it came without buttons. Hm. No worries. Thought I could use the spare strap and case/bezel without much cost.The buttons are actually fitted into the case so invariably if your movement fails you don't need the buttons.
