I usually change them myself. Watch shops charges too much for a simple battery change. However, if you don't mind paying, I don't see why can't you change at the shop.

Carbon Fiber or Snake Killer are the only GW-200 series that's not Tough Solar but it uses a rechargeable battery? The other GW-200 are Tough Solar but they use normal CR batteries? You sure?

I've never opened up any of my Tough Solar GW-200 series Frogman because they don't need opening up. Maybe I will just to see what battery they replaced.

Yeah I know. That's what I meant actually. I read your earlier post wrongly... Please disregard my previous reply to you. Don't know what I'm doing. Maybe too tired. Haha

Not really. From the top of my head, the Gulfmaster and Mudmaster lights up the LCD as well. However, these two are neither old nor entry level.

Haha. Yeah. That's why I said "neither old nor entry level".

I don't have a Mudmaster. Wanted to buy one but I'm saving for something else.

I like the features on the new Gulfmaster (ABCD sensors!) but somehow, the watch's dial design doesn't appeal to me. I doubt it'll be RM4k or so. My guess is that it should be around RM2k.

That expensive? Hmm...If that's the case I don't think it's worth it. USD900 can buy a lot of other watches. Even the new Frogman is around that price and the Frogman is supposed to be the "flagship" for Master of Gs.

Damn...I'm still waiting for mine...Hopefully by this week.

It was leaked a few weeks ago I think. Glad that the king is making a comeback.

Nice. I have the Seaman version that is a sample unit of Casio (engraved with a big "S" at the back, very rare as they don't sell these sample units.). Still one of my prized possessions.

Negative display on the Rangeman is REALLY hard to read. I have plenty of negative display G-Shocks and the Rangeman's readability is the worst.

BTW, I'm talking about the ones that are negative display originally, not the converted ones. Maybe the converted ones are better but I've not tried them.

Citychain used to gives plenty of discounts. They use to have this Merdeka sale in August - September with discounts up to 30% from retail. However, this was at least 5-7 years ago. With the 30% discounts from retail that they gave, it's usually about 10% cheaper than street prices.

With regards to the Black King, the demand will always be there but Casio will keep producing them. My guess is like yours, i.e. prices will maintain around retail or even lower. If not in a hurry, wait for it.

The prices are high in the beginning is because a lot thought that this will be a high demand piece. They are not wrong but they didn't take into account that it won't be a limited edition.

Actually, what I'm saying here has already been said by Everydying multiple times.

Plenty are negative display actually. Maybe you've never noticed.

Anyway, I'd compare the negative display Rangeman to the negative display Kings. Both are equally hard to read.

Yes. The GD-350 has the best negative display in my opinion. Easy to read compared to the rest.

Any specific models you're looking for? I have a few and if the price is right, I might consider letting them go.

I've been dealing with them for the past 5 years. One of my most trusted sellers.

Let's continue this in V4.
