Hmm .. just starting on collecting g-shocks now.. and im so jelly of you guys' collections weh.. esp the frogs lol ..

Do you guys buy from rakuten.com often? I remember somewhere in the thread it's mentioned that a japan card is needed to make purchases is that right?
Cause im might be getting some G's from there. Any preferable sellers? Thanks in advance yo.

hmm dont think that is under the g-shock group .. and it depends on your budget and what functions you want and also you prefer a digital / analog / digital + analog

Probably all authentic .. G-factory selling at retail of 1129. I bought one of mine at Hour Tag @ the Curve, priced at 1199, purchased at 1080 after discount. As for online sellers who got their stocks from maybe overseas supplier or local i dont know, seem to have a cheaper price of around 980. It all depends on the markup each of them did. G-factory must sell at the fixed 1129 price, while others are free to adjust the price based on how much profit they want to make. I purchased another rangeman, the lightning yellow from japan for 1400.

i actually thought of getting a mtg-s1000 but then i realised the bezel screws .. is it possible to actually get them aligned? it's like all of them are at an angle of its own

and to be exact ... 126,000yen is approx RM3960 lol

not too sure if real screws or studs ... it is resin sandwiched between 2 steel plates but then i remember them saying hold on together by 4 studs ... i might have gotten it wrong .. those screws / studs really bugs me .. and i am considering to get one of it

if i remember right, the ga-1000 are going for less than 1k .. probably at the 700-800 range .. i might have mistaken it for other watches tho correct me if im wrong ..

yeah i think so .. oh well maybe think of it as its unique point hahaha they could have used torx screws for it .. so it looks almost the same in any direction like some of the APs.

We shall see. hahaha

Should be around 850 .. dont think you'll be able to find any cheaper than there for now .. since no local stores stock them, meaning no retail prices

Parcel just arrived yesterday .. GW-A1130! Im liking how it looks! But havent got time to play with it yet.. busy busy

whats the problem you referring to? cause i dont see any

if you are referring to the dots above temperature reading .. you can refer to page E61 of the manual .. it's a pressure graph which automatically logs data in a certain time interval

Im eyeing on one more G. After that i think im gonna take a long break. Unless something special catches my attention again which i prefer not, cause i have been spending too much already.

Ps. bro the instagram account gshockmalaysia is you huh? =P

this baaa ... go go go ... how much are these selling for btw?

The price difference of RM400 for the gwa1100 is actually a lot if it's true. I don't get the luxury to travel overseas often or work abroad, so i'll have to settle with online sellers. They are friendly people and i'm not worried bout the warranty as well since all if them are made to take beatings. Haha.

Eh, like how? i haven,t really played with the stop watch yet and i'm too lazy for that now. Maybe i'll try tmr to see if i notice something similiar to what you mentioned. I do notice one thing though, the second hand don't point at the correct markers at certain portion of the dial even after zero-ing it.

Ahhh, you beat me to that MTG ! Mine is still with the courier company, probably on a plane now.

Tried with my 1130 .. doesnt seem to have any issue like what you mentioned .. one thing though .. i noticed my hour hand is a bit off to the right after centering it lol .. guess it's cause of the japan movement but cased in thailand reason .. but still i like the watch very much =D

and im referring to my GW-A1130, which is the 30th anni version of the GW-A1100

was just mentioning that previously ... the alignment of the dials .. other that that i dont find the others an issue .. if i were to do timing i got other watches for it be it a ga110 or a rangeman or a frog .. im currently using this as my dress watch lol until the mtg arrives ..

i think so too ... some has it some doesnt .. since i ordered it from japan, it's too much of a hassle to ship back n so on.. it doesn't affect the functionality of the watch so it's ok, i can live with that .. lol it's not that obvious though .. you got to really stare at it then only you will notice it ..

i still dont quite get what loose hour hand means .. knock it and it drops? that's what i can understand .. but why would u hit it on purpose when it's running? just curious

Ah i see. Hmm if just a small tap will cause that maybe you would have to check back with the shop you purchased from and ask for an exchange? If you have just purchased it or warranty is still valid. Watchuseek forum is actually quite informative. So far have you come accross any posts related to this issue? Maybe you can raise this up n see if anybody there face the same thing.

Got my MTG today !! Haven't played with it yet, just took some pictures of it. And my collection so far. Will be taking a break from G-shocks for now.
