Right, I need a new G-Shock

[CommanderJameson]

I absolutely have to have one of these for work:



So I'm flogging a couple of watches to fund it:

I could see from other pics that the blue faced version had a different strap to it's oranged faced brother that I have but I didn't realise that it was actually a bracelet...
Do like the look of the blue but it's a tad more expensive, no?

Now that 'tis a nice G!!

[bishbash]

Got any more details on that watch, price, model number?

Looks to be this one - GW-3000BD-1AER

Not a cheapy, but definately a lovely looking thing - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-G-Shock-Gravity-Defi...

I would love the bracelet for the orange version I have of this watch, some decent pictures of the bracelet would be great when it arrives.

Amazon have a Casio sale on at the moment I believe...

This is THE BEST looking G-Shock I've ever seen, to the extent that I ordered one yesterday. I did thing about getting the orange & saving a good few quid, but decided the blue was "essential" (and the bracelet will be a bonus).

Just check out this cool vid

It is lovely, I nearly went for one but it's a bit too nice to be a knocking about watch so I went for a GW-9010 Mudman. I will probably treat myself to one soon though. Is the case all steel?

The case is resin, only the bracelet is metal

Balls to waiting.

I've ordered it.

I love that video; I saw the Air Race in London a few years ago, and Breitling were all over it. I bet they're sick as dogs now!

I've got the orange version. Quite a price increase for the rather cool strap. Pics when you get it please.
Trying to justify a new watch to the better half. Computer says no.

Anyone know if the blue dial is available with a resin strap? The steel bracelet looks great but am i right in thinking these are double the price of the orange w/resin strap?!?!

[Muska]

I was under the impression the blue version was a bit of a limited one, hence the bracelet & price hike. I have found the bracelet for sale as a spare part for 119euros. Only a £50 saving over the blue version though...

My favourite G Shock is the original, which can be found in original nar-original spec in Argos of all places:

I actually prefer the resin strap on Cardsharks model to the bracelet. The bracelet looks rattley to me, and I dislike the gaps between the links, the clasp is very thin gauge too. But it is parr for the course for that money. The watch head design, colour and functions I like a lot.

If it's like the bracelet for the GW-5600 then it should be quite nice & comfortable.

I do like the retro one, reminds me of a very tough (but not G-Shock) Casio I had as a kid. No idea what model it was but it was cheap and around in 1988-ish at a guess.
