G-Shock Pawn

[Sheetmaself]

Go me!

Duh, totally missed that earlier post. I suspect that ship has sailed, still a very nice deal

[TheJimi]

Even without the extra 10%, it's still a great deal - you'll be impressed with the watch. I'd be amazed if you weren't.

[mackie1]

Hefty isn't it! Must be about twice the weight of the carbon fibre/titanium/jelly resin one on the right if not more so:

[Sheetmaself]

It does have quite a heft to it. £500 would be a bit of a difficult number to justify but think £200 was a bit of a bargain and it is a lovely thing.

How many of these have we bought over the past week by the way

[mackie1]

Agreed,it's good at that price for sure. I think the most I've spent on a G was a Gulfmaster which was about £260 I think (also heavily discounted).

Just ordered the G-Shock ga 2100 that's black with the blue/purple hands for £70 from watchshop.

To go with my all black, red and skeleton versions

[Sheetmaself]

To all that have the red metal G. Are your black bars which joint the bracelet to the watch loose?

Can’t work out if a design or if mine need tightening? Cant try and tighten easily at moment as im out but a bit concerned it may fall off

[TheJimi]

Yep, all 4 of mine twist.

If you hold one in place and try to turn the opposite, it won't turn. Decorative, then.

[Sheetmaself]

Thanks for that at least it’s not just mine!

Normally I don't wear any of my watches for more than a day or two at a time but I've hardly taken off this Rangeman since I got it 3 weeks ago.

It is a lovely thing but yes i agree full price would be a stretch.

The only other issue i have is that i am onsite today so not wearing the watch in case i damage or scratch it which kind of goes against the G-Shock ethos.


Does anyone know how scratch resistant the red is as i presume it is plated.

I have a blue one and they do scratch unfortunately.

[Sheetmaself]

I thought as much. It does seem strange having a G-Shock i need to take care of!

But it is a lovely thing.

Looks great. Can't believe I haven't got one yet. As soon as they were released I thought I'd have one as soon as the inevitable blacked-out one was released. Not sure what's stopping me.

[Ninjin]

I said to myself no more G's but I just had to have this as I love the changeable display so I can have the time display in huge characters. Perfect for my old eyes!

Love that. One just happened to fall into my online shopping basket in the weekend when I was buying my Mudmaster.
Should be delivered tomorrow !

Mrs Cjelli and I had been struggling to work out what to buy our 16 year old son for Christmas.

As an impulse buy on Black Friday, we picked up a g shock GA-2100-1A1ER with 30% off for him. Not his only present.

Now I’m concerned he is going to turn his nose up at it. He’s a brand obsessed teenager, and he won’t appreciate the g shock cachet. We’ve looked in the windows of watch shops and he is aware of all the big names.

In teen friendly terms, give me a sales pitch I can give him to try and minimise his, and subsequently, our disappointment.

Tell him his present is under the nearside front wheel of your car.
