Damn this thread - it would seem I now have the G-Shock bug also!
I'd previously written off the idea due to these being too big, too plastic, too garish and a not really very stylish. My view has now changed. Within the space of a couple of weeks I bought a new AWG-M100, then a rather nice GW-5000 from SC and now I've just agreed on a GW-3000M. There are others on my 'want' list already.
I've no doubt that I'll keep a couple of nice stainless steel autos for 'best', but G's are a relatively inexpensive way to get my watch kicks. With so many models out there though it could be easy to get carried away!
Damn you all!
This is my latest after a fair few....
...others include
Very nice @Mcb2007 and @RogertheDodger. My sweet & sour choice on Saturday :-)
After the arrival today of the G-8900......
....I'm awaiting the arrival of another DW-5600e:
And the Froggy party continues :-) GWFT 1030-9
Great Sunday gents
Does that mudman have an amazing led double backlight where the whole dial including the white area lights up like a torch? - very cool!
I've been wearing my frogman all weekend and sadly it has to be the most uncomfortable watch in the history if the world, which is a bit annoying. Either too loose or too tight - it's been put away until the summer, it doesn't mix well with jumper or coat cuffs!
That's the trouble. I do really like the frogman (and it was a bargain) - as a gadget to look at it's great, and I have large enough wrists etc so it looks acceptable on the wrist - but if I'm brutally honest I don't find it any more functional (in fact in real life probably less functional) than a dw-5600. Alarm is feeble, all a bit men. But it does look cool!
I've always liked Froggies but they're just too large for me. I remember when the series was updated with the release of the even larger GWF-1000BP-1JF, all the modern functions, an appealing colour and shape. I'd really like one but it would simply look rather silly on my wrist, given these dimensions: (HxWxD) 58.3 x 52.8 x 18.0mm. Still that large size hasn't prevented many small-wristed fanciers going for it.

These froggys are awesome!!
I thought mine looked a bit large, those look ridiculous!
I used to have a few on display but the thought of the dreaded resin rot used to bug my so most of them have gone now and I'm down to about 12 currently.
Finally got the strap delivered for this:
And now awaiting the next project:
Now the fun begins.
Just arrived today. My first ever G Shock. Part of the Japan only Rescue Orange range. It's a M5610MR-4JF. Impressed with it so far.
That's a really nice shade of orange, not too bright, just right.
May I ask where it can be purchased from?
