Well, just about to set off for my annual Xmas meal and drinking session with 'the boys' and will be wearing this watch as I always do on the event. Xmas party time seems to be a good time to strap...
Here is a report from someone who visited the GS workshop, together with photos further down of some MRG cases in for work.
...
The Zaratsu polishing for the higher end G Shocks is indeed done in the same workshop as the polishing for GS.
This one though has the Tzuiki metalworking process, painstaking and expensive.

Casio brought back the AW-500 for just one 'Lovers' model in 1999.
It had long stopped producing the ordinary AW-500 and had moved on to resin cased analogues unlike the solid steel of the...
Very nice DD.
You have certainly been getting around recently.

Here are two AW-594s from 1994. They were part of a series of World Cup watches Casio issued that year as they were the official time keeping partner for FIFA.
Unfortunately Japan failed to...
I will show AW-500s next. AW stands for analogue watch and the 500 was the first analogue G Shock and date from 1989.
This is the AW-500B and has a full lume dial unusually. This model is one of...
Now up to 2015 and the GF-8250CM 'Camouflage' model.

Very nice.
Those Mudmasters are great useful watches if you can cope with the size.

Now 2010 and the GWF-1000G model. This was a limited run and was a bit of an homage to the original gold 'King of Frogman'.
...
Now 2009 and the first of the GWF-1000 frogman the basic model.

Just back from holiday so continuing the Frogman postings.
This is from 2008, the LRG Frog. This was a very limited edition and is very sought after.
...
Very nice DD.
Keep em coming. I will be in France myself for the next 2 or three weeks, love the place.

Moving to 2007, this is the GW-225C 'Master Blue'. This was issued as a special edition for the G Shock 25th anniversary. It had the smallest issue number of all the 25th anniversary models.
...
Now up to 2004. The GW-200CF 'Brazilian Frog'. Desirable and pricey. This is the Addict version of which there are 400.

Now in 2003, the GW-203K-4JR. This model has become more popular over the years and is quite striking.

Still in 2002 here is the GW-200BC 'Black Helios' model.
Casio sometimes come up with some strange concepts when naming a series, not sure what the hell 'Black Helios' means in relation to this...
Very nice.
The price might be high for a Casio but the quality is outstanding at the price level. Mine says hello.
