G-Shock Collectors V4
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


The first EL Backlight model is
DW-6600 back in 1994


In 1995, DW-6900 released which is one of the
most popular models until today


G-Shock produces a lot of collaboration models with popular fashion brands, artists, designers and animations,
e.g. Stussy, Eric Haze, Bathing Ape, Lifted Research Group (LRG), One Piece, Cyborg 009.

G-Shock watches are popular with mountaineers, firemen, paramedics, people working in the offshore, police officers,
astronauts, film directors (Tony Scott was often pictured wearing a GW-3000B, as is Ron Howard and Francis Ford Coppola)
and soldiers. Ex-Special Forces-British SAS soldier Andy McNab mentions in several of his novels how his fictional character
Nick Stone relies on a G-Shock watch. According to Mark Bowden's book Blackhawk Down, the DELTA Operators wore
G-Shock watches during the combat events of 3 & 4 October 1993. Since then, G-Shock watches have become very popular
with Special Forces groups in both American and other NATO nation units, due to their being "battle tested".

Models DW-5600C, DW-5600E, DW-5900, DW-6600, DW-6900 are flight-qualified for NASA space travel.

Actually I thought someone ask him to open new thread as the V3 exceeded 2500 post

OK, I know open new thread will be received different voices. But juz follow the section rules to open new thread after 2500+ post.
If anyone really disappointed on it, sure can ask any admin close this new thread back to old one, I don't mind anyway.
All I do is juz helping didn't get any benefits. Anyway Good Luck everyone, have fun on collecting.

not sure who ask u to open.
but the v3 TS is happily posting in v3 and doesnt want to close it...

the concept of 2500 posts is archaic.
nowadays its just to maintain 'tradition', as current system can handle more.

so u all better make up ur mind...or just report the v3 thread to be closed.
