Just picked up the new Eric Haze 30th Anniversary G-Shock.

It is very good.

I'm liking the Eric Haze one.

I've just picked up 2 Gulfmans from Japan, one I've been hunting for for ages, hopefully they won't take too long to get here and will squeek through customs alright.

I'll post pics when they arrive.

You will not be disapointed, it is a lot better than I was expecting.

I've had it on my wrist since 8.30 and already had 4 different people want to look at it. One of them offered to buy it... Not a chance!!! It's stunning, really sparkles in the sun.

I'm still in 2 minds about them.

Will probably get one regardless.

Would have no problem moving it on if it's too bling for me.

Would someone care to share best place to purchase the Haze Ga110?

eBay is around £200

I beleive they have limited the model to only 100 official UK stock (it is limited worldwide too). So if they are out of stock already then you might be stuck the ebay route or maybe the casio shop in London.

Calling them might be the better option than waiting on an email.

Because I keep looking on here I keep searching for a bargain...

Thought about this and just ordered this from Creation

http://www.creationwatches.com/products/casio-g-sh...

I know its similar to my 8900 but at that price I thought it worth a punt. Birthday present to myself for next month!

Its a lot of money for a G-shock. Half of what attracts me to G's is the value and Im not sure that is good value. OK its a lot of watch but is it that great?

looks very sharp, but for 500 squids - The fun thing with gshocks for me is as you said the price. Upto about 100 chips is fine, a bit of fun and a decent utilitarian watch. Much more than that for me at least then its moved out of utility and 'throw away' to a 'Ive got to be careful what I do as its worth 500 makerals.

Ouch! I paid £500 for the RAF limited edition of this watch, after thinking long and hard. I assumed the non-limited editions would come in at around £350. £400 tops.

Stripped of the RAF branding I don't think this watch - fantastic though it is - is worth the asking price. There are plenty of other G shock aviators available for a lot less that would make a lot more sense. I see Creation have one one sale for £150 and it's hard to argue with that price.

I've just also seen they have a solar Frogman for £250. Got to stop looking at it...

Yeah, only just noticed!

You too huh?

Used sniping software to bid £100.

Forgot I'd even made a bid on it, but the light wasn't working anyway.

There will be others.

Have you seen the black version of that world cup range on there?

I bailed at about £88 I think. It's the same watch as the one I linked to on watchuseek a couple of pages back.
The same guy is selling his red jelly Frogman too, although his prices are always pretty strong.

I haven't seen the black one, shalln't he bidding for it.

Does sniping software work by putting a high bid in at the last moment? Do you put in an upper amount you are willing to pay?

Yeah, I realised it was the one you mentioned previously.

As for sniping, look here.

Put in your highest bid and then forget about it.

Big thumbs up for Creation watches, delivered this morning all the way from Singapore! ordered last Thursday so 5 days.
The 9110 is smaller than my 8900, I somehow thought it would be the same size. Still when I get time I will figure out the tide stuff......
