Sorry that i cant post photos of my entire collection but here are some of the watches i admire

Limited Edition 2005 Casio G-Shock Cockpit "Black Force"



The "Triplets" 3 G-Shocks from the Cockpit series



A rare and brand new vintage first generation G-Shock Frogman with dive site log data feature.



A G-Shock with vibrating alarm



A new era Carbon Fibre Frogman that is expensive, limited and hard to find



One of my most rare and expensive watches. A Revman, a dream for many G-Shock collectors. Very hard to find and very expensive. Full titanium Twin Chrono and has the looks and the built of a monster

great collectyion antonis.. congratulations.. i do not know g-shock brand terribly well.. but when you say revman is very rare.. doe this mean it is a limited series? how many were produced?? how much is it worth? what are its special features?? educate us! ;D

Well G-Shocks are well known in Japan since they are the main theme for many collectors...Very reliable and used mainly in military and jobs where the watch sustains heavy use. G-Shocks are made to absorb alot of shocks. I have seen photos of Frogmans that were left in a freezer overnight and you can see the ice on the band and crystal, but the module still working perfectly. Most of my g-shocks only gain 0.5 seconds a day. Rare models dating back to 1983 sell on ebay for the same price you can buy a new Rolex today. You can see them on ebay periodically. I am speaking for the first models that have the g-shock logo. Remember those little square casios? Yes i have seem some of them sell for over 3000USD. But i must admit that even though they are affordable watches, i think they are 100% quality timepieces.

About the Revman , it belongs in the "MRG" division of the G-Shocks. Most MRG versions are the elite of the brand and are very expensive. The new MRG-3000 sells for 700USD and the new MRG-7000 that will be released this month will cost over 900USD. The Revman is a earlier model. I dont know how many models were released but i know it is highly seeked from G-Shock collectors. Something like a Red Rolex Submariner. I got it for astonishing price of 800USD. Now i know most of you have rolexes and omegas in your collection and these prices sound cheap but dont forget that a normal price for a G-Shock would be somewhere around 100-130USD

Wow nice collection

Nice pics also, how big is the frogman?

where do you get your g-shocks, I have seen them on ebay and other places on the internet but I have never seen them in any stores.

Thanks guys. I dont know exactly how big the frogman is Adam but when you wear it you feel like you are wearing a solid masculine watch that could take a beating or two with no problem. I get them from Yahoo Auctions Japan (Same place i got my Rolex from)

By the way here are the photos a friend of mine took with his Frogmans. This will show you what kind of watch it is hehe ;D






modules never stoped working and that night his watches didnt loose even one second.

I must but shares in Casio at the rate you're going!

I've had a G-Shock since 1999 and I do like it, although it's so bulky and obstrusive I never really wear it - I have to take it off after 10 minutes or so. For digitals, I quite like the slimmer looks of some of the Oakleys. Any experience of those?

I love my G shocks and pathfinders I have bought a pile a them in the last few weeks the BIGGER the better )))))Iam wearing a sea Pathfinder model 40 right now ....any walmart a have them any sams club Target and costco your in Utah not on the moon ) G's are easy to find ......) I wish they wern't so easy to find I would have more money LOL

[antoniscy]

pa68: i have alot of g's and i dont have a problem wearing them. And i have a small wrist. You just need to get used to them. About the shares it wouldnt be a bad idea. Do you have any idea how much g-shocks are sold every year? ;D

GW: i love my G's too. You should check the new line released this month .. omg

[GW]

I been looking ) ...I want a MrG and maybe a model 70 Pathfinder tough solar ... Right now I have a model 500 series a model 1400 ana digi ! pathfinder mdel40 a Seafinder model 40 a 9052 reg G .... and the Beat goes on )I been looken at a GW 3019V .. I have a very large wrist so I really likem but you gotta be careful if you have a large wrist they cut a few a little skimpy on the resin straps the metal bands are nice and big fit up to I would guess a 9" wrist .. thou all mine but 2 have resin and they go in the 4th hole I have a 8 1/4" wrist ... I have the model 40 Pathfinder with the nylon Leather strap and it fits me great I put a deployment on that strap it is nice ...imho

[antoniscy]

nice collection there GW.. I might be ordering a couple of new G's this week. What do you think

[GW]

very nice BOTH color combo's now iam looken at those also ) I specialy like the black but iam always more conservative ))))

[antoniscy]

to be honest as you can see from my triplets photo, i like this series. Those 3 are different styles and so are these 2. I like the electric blue.. I have alot of blue t-shirts and it will match nicely... cant wait to see them in person... i also want to get this nice futuristic looking G-Shock that will be released this month



also the new mrg-7000 is nice but it will be too expensive. (900USD)
