Yeah, Multiband doesn't work.

Not too sure what you mean "wear like a normal G-Shock". It is still a G-Shock so all the shock resist tech and features are in.

HOLY SHEET! I always wanted this!

The back plate is like this. All my Frogmans are like this. Most screwback watches, including other brands, are like this. You can open it and then screw it back the way you want it.

BTW, Clot x G-Shock selling at only RM419 at G-Factory.

As long as you have a Debit card it's fine. Hehe.

I have that tool. Bought it at RM20 or so online.

I linked my Maybank debit/ATM card with my PayPal account a couple of months back. It's pretty easy. Don't have to go through the hassle of topping up. PayPal will deduct from your savings account directly when you purchase something.

No problems.

Bought *another* G-Shock on impulse. Work is hectic and I turn to retail therapy...

Anyway, it's a pre-order. Hopefully will be getting it early Feb.

Stay tuned.

Nope. Not a collaboration. Hehe

Damn...you have all the Frogs I want...

I could've bought all these Frogs you have, but I spend the money on slightly cheaper Frogs, so I can buy more...

Yeah. That's the problem. I buy from eBay, where prices are already escalated...

Can tumpang from you ar when you go to Japan? Hehe.

The A1030 is good. Damn pretty watch. Hehe

Link please. Searched on Facebook and found nothing...

RM2,200 is actually a damn good price.

I paid about RM1,950 for it and the seller I buy from was, for some reason, about $150-200 cheaper from other sellers. Considering that I can COD, and don't have to go through the hassle of shipping it over from Japan, customs declaration, exchange rates, RM2,200 is a damn good price.

The retail price is 63000 Yen, inclusive of tax. That's about RM2,100++. I'm sure you can get slightly cheaper than retail but you'll need to know where to find. That's also why I think RM2,200 is a good price, since the hard part is already done. All you need to do is COD. Treat the extra as agent fee.

Buy a car? The money I spend on G-Shocks is enough to buy a car... Albeit maybe a Kancil. Base on your description, these people's collection can even buy houses...

Still thinking if I should buy it. Medicom might not have them but they can still be pre-ordered.

USD270 or less. Not really a Be@rbrick fan, which is why I'm still thinking. Furthermore, I'm told by my contact in Japan, saying that a lot of shops do not accept pre-orders at the retail price anymore. He is still holding one unit for me because I bought a lot from him.

DGK is about USD180. Another one that I'm thinking of buying.

The thing is that I want to only concentrate on Frogmans. If it's the old me, I'd have bought these two already...haha..

Alright, I'll share my first G-Shocks too. Hehe.

My first was this.


Not exactly that though. Mine didn't have the 540 degrees on the velcro strap. Mine wasn't Fox Fire either. It came with an extra resin+nylon strap.

Bought it at RM399 from a watch shop in IOI mall in 1996. Everyone had a G-Shock back then. I saved up enough money to buy one and went to the nearest mall that sells G-Shock. I wanted one with velcro strap and that was the only one they had. Didn't care much about the colour (not really my type) and bought it nevertheless.

My second one, which I still have and still wearing, is the Stargate - DW8300. I paid RM240 for it in 1997 at one of Marco's warehouse sale. Yes, they had warehouse sale back then!


My third and fourth, which I still have but at an impossible-to-wear state, were the Men in Black Raysman (DW-9300BM-1T) and the Raysman Yacht Timer (DW-9350J-1T) which my dad bought for me and my brother in 1998. I wore the Men in Black Raysman until 2005, until it really gave way and kept peeling off.


After that, I stopped for a while, focusing on other watches, but I've never took my eyes off G-Shocks.

Sorry to hear that.
You'll just need to do more research to differentiate genuine ones to counterfeit ones. There are always risks buying online.

Anyone buying the second wave of G-Shocks's 30th Anniversary Initial Blue watches?

It should be out today.

I hope mine is coming in soon. Prebooked one earlier this month.

Wow. I've been inactive for a few days and there are so much discussion about authentic and fake G-Shocks. Plenty of new people too.

Anyway, I "accidently" bought a few more G-Shocks. Hopefully it'll arrive before CNY.
I have one Initial Blue coming (still no news, even thought it's on sale in Japan since 25th Jan), an older but still quite in demand G-Shock, as well as a vintage one. Really hope they'll be here soon.

I pre-booked it from an eBay seller. They have plenty there. Just make sure you buy from one that is reputable.

These are not the best fakes. Try the Bape ones. Some of the fake Bapes are too damn good. Fonts, design, even the box, manual and the EL backlight is exactly the same as the original ones. That's the main reason why I didn't buy a Bape x G-Shock. My friend has an original one and a fake one. The orignal one was from Bape Store in Japan and the fake one from some online shop (I think he bought it for USD20). I can't tell which is original and fake. They are that good...

Same here. The Bape ones has pretty fake-ish fonts...Maybe that's why it's so hard to differentiate...
