G-Shock Pawn

[Civpilot]

Well there I was surfing the net looking for a 6900SN-3ER, some places selling for £75ish plus shipping but most around £90. So I thought I would try eBay to see if I could snap up a bargin.

Bad idea as I ended up paying £140 for one..... Although it did come with a free gift...


Ok, so it's a prime example of man maths, but made sense to me (and both watches have an rrp of £95/100, so a bargain really). The second watch is a tough solar GRX-5600B-2ER

Collection (of G's) so far...

[GALLARDOGUY]

I saw that auction but I've already got them both!

The 6900 is one of my favourites.

[Stewart-83]

I have one of these




I bought it when I worked in Siberia, it worked at -45 degC no problem AND the strap didn'[t give you frostbite!

I then used it offshore in the North Sea, pulling completions it used to get well and truly drenched in all sorts of horrible stuff. Chucked it in for a boil wash and tumble dry with my coveralls and it'd come out sparkling everytime.

I haven't worn it in years but G's are brilliant poieces of kit!

That's a nice collection Civpilot.

It's come from Japan, was sold as new with tags, there isn't a mark or spec of dust on it, so it looks new, very pleased with it.

My other Gulfman should be delivered tomorrow, I'll post some pics when I get it.

By the way, blue and red world cup 98 6900's, you seen them?

[GALLARDOGUY]

Of course. Got the blue already. May go for the red. And its the same guy isn't it. I reckon he speaks Japanese and can use the auction sites out there, unlike us.

As for these gulfmen, have you got yourself a decent new contact/seller out there?

[Pkh72]

Yeah it's the same chap selling them, he obviously had two red jelly ones, one with a non working light and one that was fine. i think he does get them from Japanese auctions, so either he or somebody he knows can deal with them okay.

I've used this place for my two gulfmans -

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bitrade-corp/G-Shock-/_i....

They have given me very good service and mainly deal in Ltd editions and rare G's so their prices can be quite steep.

[GALLARDOGUY]

Ah yeah, I know them. Can't remember if I've used them.

I've been a bit quiet on here recently because I've been buying higher end stuff but I've got 3 limited editions incoming.

Pics to follow obviously.

I wish I had got one of these when I had the chance, the desire never goes, it must be the green.

Lovely 'dawn black' there. I have the same range frogman in the same Japanese casket. Lovely colours.
