Hey all, just wondering any g-shock avid collector here?
I am considered a rookie collector. What’s up? Started about 9 months ago. I have 16 so far.
-
That's nice guys. I have a bunch too. I really like the old school vintage g-shock pieces such as the DW81xx,6400,8300 etc.

Actually I would. Will have to get it from overseas though as the local distributor is expected to put a huge premium over MSRP.

I believed quite a few of us here are G-Shock fans, although there could be a tendency to hide that fact like how I've heard some collectors during watch meets scoffed that G-Shocks ain't real watches for serious collectors. I personally liked 'em- they're fun, colourful, and cheap. Well perhaps scrap that last description- the Master of G and Metal Twisted (MTG) these days tend to cost quite an arm and a leg :HammerHead:
I started looking at G-Shock after spotting the piece adorned on Keanu Reeve's wrist in Speed (1994). But I was just a poor chap back then so it wasn't until some years later that I found a G-Shock lying by the roadside (those older ones would understand that Internet was not a norm then, so I can't advertise to find the chap whom lost it like the way we could easily do so in these modern times) that I had the opportunity to start wearing the 1st G-Shock. It was badly-scuffed and battered with some parts of the resin scrapped off, having been ran over by many vehicles, but it worked and demonstrated its lastability.
Over the last few years, I started getting more G-Shock pieces over the recent years and some I kept, some I flipped, and some I gave away on my blog vide the Cheap Thrills to readers e.g. a Riseman give-away @ http://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2014/11/cheap-thrills-casio-g-shock-riseman.html (http://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2014/11/cheap-thrills-casio-g-shock-riseman.html).
The one that I really liked over the years was the Rangeman.

My boy preferred the smaller-sized Mudman as his daily beater.

The MTG was the premium piece packed with all the GPS features under the sun but am not quite used to it, so it stays in the case all the time. Perhaps am just so used to the lightweight of G-Shock in their resin case so not quite sold on the metal ones as yet.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZbCxi7nOXI8/W4LCZNLwQKI/AAAAAAAANv4/lqRQ79Du4l81_BOtm8XTm8Nz_UavfRbuQCLcBGAs/s640/20180819_151247.jpg)
And am always scouting for the next piece. As I said, they are fun, colourful, and cheap. Makes us feel like a kid in a candy stall altogether ;D

hi there, I'm looking for good suggestions for a G-shock that suits smaller wrist. Anyone has suggestions? Seems like the 5600 could be a good candidate?
-
The 5600 is a great choice I reckon, not quite as chunky n plenty of colors n options to choose. Whats ur wrist size like?
-
Thanks for the reply! My wrist is about 6.5inch in diameter. Yea I reckon the 5600 would the best candidate
-

For comparison, this is a 5600 on my 7in wrist. 6.5in should be find, especially since this isn't an oversized version or anything.

Thanks! That looks very good on your wrist. G-shock has so many models, can be a bit confusing to someone new to it
-
That's true la, there's just so many options to choose from, new models and editions being churned out every year, past models from years before even. Even Seiko pun kalah in terms of prolific product inventory ;D.
Could probably start by looking at the kind of look/model preferred, functions and features, price and most importantly color combos. I think pricing shouldn't be too much of a problem since the DW5600 range is invariably in the general RM300 range. So just settle on colors and features saja la. Of course there's the solar power la, titanium la, metal la itu ini all, but can still take all that into consideration.
I personally like this one because it looks somewhat similar to the old F91w bomb watch and and its called the 5600HR vampire :D
-
To be honest, i was banking on the Hodinkee x John Mayer recent release to be my firs G-shock. Was ready to pull the trigger... until i saw the size.
Thanks for the tips

They have so many collaborations model in a year, basically a module with different collaborations by colours, collab names, band materials. In fact these collaboration carry a heavy pricetag even the module are same as basic even its features. My personal preference just stick to the normal (without collab) and squares, anyway that's just my own personal preference over G-Shocks.

Really digging that Casioak look...haha

If the bezel screws really align that nicely, then I reckon u got a winner right there :thumbsup:

Thanks man...the version in the picture is the 2nd Gen mod...now they have the 3rd Gen mod...both of which are basically just a snap on, the bezel pre-attached.

Quite an easy conversion...and reasonably priced too!
-
how does the conversion kit work exactly, its a direct bolt-on replacement? (like a car turbo pulak :laugh:). Is there a specific manufacturer or kit brand name that we would want to look for to buy, or is it fair from any seller? looks interesting. i dont own a casioak at the moment, but if its easy enough to work on then it make be worth a try.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/d292bc60daa58223698150b238912cee.jpg)
The conversion starts, need to remove 4 case screws, and the quick release springbar strap. Then can remove the rubber bezel/protection case to reveal just the watch head in its carbon case.

Time to fit into the kit…had to remove the bracelet from the case, and had to file down the carbon lugs a little to squeeze into the case…

So there was still some modification needed with the lugs la then, was it a lot that needed to be filed? With sand paper I assume? Looks like u reassemble using the flathead screws that came with the kit?

Wow u noticed the details…yes i used the screws from the kit cos it fits better with the case. Seems slightly wider at the head.
and the modification was not that difficult, i used a proper file so i can shave off an equal amount across the same side. I had to file off the sharp tip…probably 0.5mm to under 1mm or so only…but quite easy given that it is carbon material.
But i understand that better quality kits dont need this modification. The one i got was quite a cheap one with some minor finishing issues, but overall still happy with it la, cant get Royal Oak so get the Common Oak… sorry Gerald Genta haha
