QUOTE(lokgotz @ Apr 10 2014, 03:36 PM) It's not really a very expensive model. Yes it's a Frogman but that's about it. I bought mine for less than RM700 actually. Wtf? RM700 for the Final Frogman? R u kidding me? I bought it RM1K++... T_TYou get a nice tin can but without the original box, the watch doesn't hold the value it's supposed to have. You might not be able to tell it with G-Shocks (since they are affordable) but if it's a slightly more expensive brand, it matters a lot. If you are a hardcore enough collector, you'll mind. A lot. |

QUOTE(blu3hamm3r @ Apr 11 2014, 08:45 AM) Nope. Not kidding. In fact, I bought it together with my Men In Rusty Black Frogman (GW-200MS-1DR) and I paid around RM1,500 for both (if memory serves me right). Those were the days where no one wanted Frogmans because of its price and lack of functions. ISO6425 certification means nothing to the average consumers. That's why its prices were dropping like mad. In fact, I bought my GF-1000-1 Frogman (my daily beater) for RM900(G-Factory retail price is RM2,069). I highly doubt people will sell at that price now. You won't believe it now but this picture (an old picture of mine), I spent around RM3,000. Four Frogmans for RM3,000. This was in 2012. ![]() This post has been edited by lokgotz: Apr 11 2014, 10:49 AM |

Average RM750 each only. Nowaday i saw all the price tag for Frogman in watch shop all above RM1K. The GWF-1000 even RM2K+. The Navy blue Frogman sell at RM3K!! Tat's y i shocked when u told me just RM750...many be few years bek price is really low. I read frm the Casion website, Rangeman come with much more features compare to frogman....but wonder why frogman price is higher than rangeman...

The ones in G-Factory are GF-1000. They are the non-Multiband 6 version. Those are already RM2,069 retail. Navy Blue Frogman are around RM2k also. RM3k+ are the GWF version with Multiband 6.Rangeman has more features because it's a newer model and technology allows Casio to put more sensors in it. Frogmans are ISO6425 compliant for deep sea diving. Casio has to pay for that certification. Frogmans are also only made with Caseback and premium materials like Titanium, which made it more expensive. The Frogman has always been the flagship of G-Shocks (not counting the "premium" ones like MT-G series). However, with the introduction of Rangeman, a lot of people are saying that Rangeman is the new Frogman. I doubt Casio will be putting in any of the ABC sensors into Frogman because they don't want to eat into the other models like Mudman, Rangeman, Riseman. It's still marketed as a diving watch and I think Casio will keep it that way. However, this is just my personal opinion. |

If such Frogman really exists, then it'll be the only, and the ultimate casio watch u need, from hiking to diving.. I'm still waiting to see if they'll release an Analog-digital Aviation series with UV-LED (Auto) Neon-Illuminator Light + ToughSolar.. |
