so whats the end story?

QUOTE(MrUbikeledek @ Oct 29 2014, 01:57 PM)
Some notice for my fellow G-Shockers. Some shop will try to cheat you when you go for a battery replacement. G-Shock got two main components. The outer rubber casing and the stainless steel watch module inside. In my case, the shopkeeper replaced the stainless steel module with some cheap knockoff while still retaining the original outer rubber casing. Luckily, i test all the buttons before i walk away and i quickly noticed that the function of each buttons have changed.

how did you know the SS & plastic module to begin with, did you watch him "fix it"?

I pointed out the "discrepancies" and told the man to "fix it".

For those keeping your G-Shcok in the tin container, watch out as the black foams tend to leave white spot marks on the straps in contact with it, it's difficult to rub off.

For Zaku's i think the Jason design suits it the best due to the shape & design, all it needs is a pink Zaku Monoeye as their LED design.

dun bother going 1U. I just got back fr there.

PK Time - very little models. lady boss said sold out just b4 CNY. i dun believe her. I got a feeling they holding on to stock in anticipation of price increase like Everdying mentioned a few posts above. only 10% discount.

City Chain - more models than PK time. probably double than PK time. no discount.

G Factory - small shop only so very limited no of Gs. saw some 7900s, complete GWA 1000 n 1100 range, some limited editions n some 6900s. couldn't remember d rest. kinda surprised that G Factory 1U had so little G shocks

Casio Isetan - had the most number models on display. no discount.

i still cannot find G5600E to try on or buy  cry.gif . i guess i need to head to Sg Wang or Pertama. but im getting kinda sick running around looking for the 5600.

Paradigm mall is a much better place to browse n buy compared to 1U.

yea that's me  blush.gif

turn the watch around see whether any water resistance & how many meters, if yes don't worry much, if water goes in, means you got a fake.

even F-91W has water resistant.

Hi all, i just got a gdx6900cm-5 and found that there is a gap between the casing and the glass surface.

Is it normal? Cause i will be wearing the watch for swimming, just wonder if it's safe for that.

Gap like the picture below. Looks common for this model or all the gshock?

then your only issue is dust/salt/dirt stucked in between the gap.

QUOTE(jumpermist @ Mar 11 2015, 09:32 AM)
yes water resist & 20 bar.

don't think mine is fake. searched online and found similar gap in all those photos either by reviewer, collector or seller.

guys, looks like somehow I managed to scratch my gx56's cermin. can I replace the cermin cry.gif

you can go ACE hardware buy a bottle of Future Floor Finish, clean the glass & use a soft brush dip the brush in the solution & brush on the glass, make sure no bubbles, let it dry for 3 hours, your glass will look brand new & shinny than before. Unless the scratch is so deep it's actually a seam hole. it's acrylic based so you can easily remove it should you need to, normally if got future scratch you can just even out the area & apply another coat it will auto level itself.

but will cost you around rm55.

Need some help here. My gshock ga110gb is still new and kept in the box but why the glossy band has turned into something like this ? No banging on the wall, drop, scratches head and only in the box. occasionally used cotton ball with water to wipe away the fingerprints. It has some white spots looking like water stain or smudges but it can't be removed with water n soap. This is so disappointing. I have kept it in the box and in dry dark place and today I saw this sad.gif
I only know 2 things:

1.The Band Holder can stick onto the band if prolonged contact with them, might leave a mark

2.The Sponge in the Box may stain the Watch if prolonged contact.

3.The Band may have chemical reactions with other contact surface if left at same position for long time.
