G-Shock Collectors V2
We welcome all the G-Shock collectors, enthusiasts, pros, sifus, gurus to join for discussion, info/news update.
History of G-Shock:
"PROJECT TEAM Tough" formed by the creator of G-Shock is Mr. Kikuo Ibe, which also known as father of G-Shock on 1981 to create "a watch that doesn’t break even when dropped". 200 experimental prototypes later, it was a child’s bouncing ball that lead to the finish product.
2 years later -- 1983, the first G-Shock released -- DW-5000C:

Currently eye-ing on this, GW-7900KG(not sure still have it or not), this
*
Both consider normal version of Master of G, so price range should be around rm500 to 600.
As for GW-7900KG will be slightly expensive and not easy to find in Malaysia since it is atomic/waveceptor version... it should be around rm700, if the non-atomic version should be around rm350 which is GR-7900KG

Hi guys.how much the current price for frogman GR8250ER?
*
You are referring to GF8250ER?
G-Factory selling at RM1650, correct me if i'm wrong. You can probably get it around rm1100 to 1200 from dealer like Davis or Citytime.

I always wanted a Red Jelly, but too bad, I can't get a good one, or new one, and it's too expensive for now.

ga110..u can see directly if there are fake.. that is why i chose ga110 rclxms.gif

so far i only have few pcs of ga110, lack of this collection due to high price... now manbox can be easily 3 to 4 times the original retail price....
i think price of DnR no matter white or black also went up so much since last time... i still remember somewhere in June, reseller offer me 1k for ga111dr but now it seems i need to pay additional rm500 if i wanna get another pc..

dw is too many limited model n cheaper than ga110...

ga110 limited model are a few but the price is a bit high..

froggy is very limited and hard to find..the price is not to high n not too cheap..

.so, there is pro and cons of having either of the G's.. icon_rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

It's caused by tomtom13's picture of the  G-001CB-7JF. Please remove it, or keep spamming until it reaches page 6. smile.gif

Anyway, I just found out that G-Shock Malaysia fanpage on Facebook doesn't allow people posting stuff on their page for sale. That's my main source of G-Shock watches locally.

TBH, it's really bad of them to do that. It's these people that built the fanpage up to 61,000++ fans and now that they have the numbers, they close it down and post only things that they sell.

Anyway, it's their page. Can't do much. Looks like I gotta find another source for local G-Shock sellers.

Done removing the pic.

Added on December 20, 2012, 6:27 pmJust received my package today, all three used Gshocks but looks brand new..

the owner wants to sell g-shock too. but his price is too expensive than other seller. sure people will buy from other seller. so, he closed the page wall from public posting.  rclxub.gif

Added on December 22, 2012, 12:49 amGuys, I really need comments on this:
Master Blue Frogman 25th anniversary condition like new, without box or tin - 27,000yen / around RM1000
Final Frogman 200Z, Brand new with box and tin - 25,000yen / around rm930

Which one worth buying??
I check the local price for Final Frogman selling around RM1200..
Hard to decide...
