I like this one though I'm not sure it's value for money

For £475 on a watch that can be had for circa £70-100, I'd want a better finish than this -

Meticulously hand painted!

I've got four. The black with colour above, the pure black, the skeleton one (see through) and the red one and I'd likely get a few more. Tempted by a metal one.

The metal ones command a premium don't they, I want a 5600 metal (silver) - but quite costly for a casio. I think i'm going to get the black/colour oak, it'll be a more fun summer watch than my current ones.

I did my own custom paint job on my g shock. Splattered with dulux trade emulsion with a 12" roller.

As it’s time to think about my summer watch, I’m debating what to do with my King. I think I’m falling out of love with it. Wore it the other day and I’m just not feeling it any more. I can’t source an orange strap and bezel for it now and the aftermarket ones look st.



So I’m thinking about moving it on and replacing it with a white G. Any suggestions for which one though? I have 8” wrists so things like the GLX5600 are just too small. I think the GA700-7A is the most likely contender at the moment unless anyone has any good suggestions?

I've made a couple of those limited edition models too but my choice is Jonstones Trade.

Having recently ummed and arhhed over a watch, they are now sold out. No more to be made, it was about £995. Available only via eBay new for £2000 which is quite a mark up. I’m giving it a pass sadly.
Nightmare! Which one was it, out of curiosity?
Opps. Sorry for my late reply, I’m not often in this thread. It was a MT-G multicoloured which was a limited edition. They did 2, one is mostly blue and the other all sorts of colours. I’m a numpty and can’t post photos. They are still on the web site even though they aren’t available. Just shy of £1K.

I was very tempted too

Apologies, Unbusy - also a slow reply from myself!

Of the two you're describing, I'm guessing it's the Blue Phoenix, and the Rainbow Mountain that Alorotom's posted above?

The Rainbow is still in stock with Jura watches, according to their site (for retail price), might be worth an enquiry. They're generally worth checking out for some of the limited models, as they seem to receive an official allocation - and tend to sell out a little slower than the main Casio site. thumbup

Finally after endless colour variations they are making a solar casioak!

Shame it’s not multiband 6 too, but Bluetooth is better than nothing.

I’ll be getting the yellow one asap to go with my original black one with white hands.

Way more excited about this than the moonswatch hehe

Is the Bluetooth purely for clock sync?

Offloading that gold G to me would help with that biggrin
