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

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.

If anyone really disappointed on it, sure can ask any admin close this new thread back to old one, I don't mind anyway.
