I do have a spare bright red GW-5000 bezel and strap which would look absolutely horrible on it. I think part of the attraction is in the name, the 'Big Bang Black' representing complete nothingness before the universe - all very deep. Casio claim to have sprinkled it with non reflective fairy dust and it works as such, absolutely nothing even in strong sunlight.
It is extremely comfortable and has a sort of velvety type texture to it. I think it needs to be worn and enjoyed.
My GWM -5000B turned up today, super pleased with it. I never picked up a GW-5000 as I wanted a negative display but they were very hard to source even in Japan.
I have a M5610 BC which was my work watch for years and is now my 14 year old son’s watch.
I wanted a screw back Japan made, this watch is a real step up in quality, the back light is amazing.
Bluetooth features are cool, fun to set up from the iPhone.
Not done a picture yet as back from work very late, will try and capture a shot in the morning when it is light.
Loving it.
^^^^^ Sounds great, Congratulations
Look forward to seeing some photos.
10 years ago yesterday, the DW-5000SL Spike Lee collaboration was released. Screw-back, nice heft to it like it should have. Mine's on a bracelet and I'm wearing it today.
Don’t know if you have this, but it is far more user friendly than the endless bits of paper in the box.

I have it saved as a fav and have now set 5 watches against it.
I picked up this ( hut hum ) forum tart yesterday. Liking it so far it's all set just need to work out how to use it properly now!

Will do Ken thanks. I really like the negative display, very different.
The full metal silver is in stock - be quick.

It’s a normal lcd but behind it is a metal panel with tiny perforations which causes that effect. I only discovered this when using a loupe. Quite clever
I have a metal 5000 incoming so looking forward to comparing them, the weight of the Anniversary is spot on and the metal may not be

Great weekend everyone

I almost got the metal square, but it being polished that is big turn off to me. I saw few photos online, after several weeks of use some of them look like 5 years old watches.
If only brushed or bead blasted steel was standard issue version, instead of polished :(
Like this great mod:

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
First ever g shock, picked up from Carnaby street store. So far so good. Also saw the Kolor edition on another customer which I really liked the look of too!
Thanks Ken, really appreciate the thought! I was having problems just getting onto the g shock website so tried my luck down at the store. It was late in the day and I thought they'd be sold out but thankfully they still had a few left.
The Kolor model was actually worn by the guy who worked there and it really caught my eye, thinking I might try and hunt one down but prices are almost double it seems. Was told the store received 20 on release and all sold out unfortunately. The steel on strap was the only other version they had in stock.
This g shock thing can be quite contagious! Great collection you've accomplished with these models...
