    I can’t work out whether I prefer this set with the negative or positive display though. I’m leaning to the negative... What do others reckon?


    Positive for me. Looks great that mate.

    Both good but for some reason I think that the negative display works best with the bezel/bracelet finish.

    A superb mod there!! And when the question is pos OR neg display, the answer is always positive. ;)
    Love it.

    Take a look on Topcashback, 17% cashback up to I think £399, and 20% above that on the g-shock website.

    After selling one of these last year (still don't know why I did it) finally managed to grab another. Came with an extra brand new bracelet, as well as the original strap, which was a bonus. GPW-1000.

    That’s quite brilliant. Can I ask what it all set you back (incl watch)? Sorely tempted if it’s within budget.

    There are my 2. The 6900 is actually on a 5600 strap, because the corrugation is less extreme and therefore it sits better on my writs. The 5000 is on a 5600 bracelet, which I think is a superb combination.

    Hello! The watch was the negative display/steel bezel/resin strap one, ref GMW-B5000-1ER. £350 new from Casio, I got mine off eBay for about £250.

    The bracelet is the standard steel one, £70-odd from Casio.

    The Cerakote was £142 all in, including postage.

    So, all in, change from £500. Which isn’t too bad if I say it quickly!

    If you preferred the positive display, I imagine you could find a well-used GMW-B5000 on bracelet for about what I paid for the resin strap one...

    Hi Nono, please tell us more about your sync bar!

    Most of my atomics sync on my bedside table, which is away from the window, except my GW-S5600 and occasionally my 5000.

    I know that having a metal bar acting as a rod improves reception, so what did you come up with.

    Thanks in advance.

    Nothing special really, I just used my tripod 'arm' for holding the camera in horizontal position and the reception is fantastic anywhere in the House. I also tried syncing by putting G's next to a big metal object like a radiator, also works like a charm. And i'm not in the best location for radio signal, my G's barely sync on the window (maybe 2 out of 7 days).
    But with this, every single night
