    ^^^^ I know the brand. It is a Kuhl jacket (American brand available from outdoor shops).
    Let us know if you find it?

    I currently have 6 incoming watches which of 5 are Gs.

    After ~18 years of living with this affliction and thinking I’m cooling off, phasing out, slowing down etc I ’discover’ G-Shocks and it’s suddenly bloody worse than ever before...

    Very nice Andrew! I didn't realise the red version has a negative digi display, it suits it, as does the hour hand. Unlike the GA835, you seem to have more of a 3D dial going on and no horrible plastic buckle too! I assume the second hand hits, all the way round.

    Mine has been worn for the last two weeks and that's it now a whole one second fast against Time.Is and the GW-5000. I can live with that accuracy for a battery driven, non-atomic. :)

    It's a nice shade of red. Just wish it didn't have a negative display, I really struggle to read mine.

    Thank you very much. I was particularly after a strong red G, after seeing so many other great looking ones on here. The negative displays seem to have improved over the years, and despite my deteriorating eyesight, I have no problem reading them now. The bonus is they really make the dial much more aesthetically pleasing.

    Today's G is a Master of G Gulfmaster GN-1000RG-1AER. Am very much liking the G's with the metal bezels at the moment.
    Currently available at Casio's Outlet for £130, which IMO is a v fair price for all these features https://outlet.casio.co.uk/B-Grade-C...GN-1000RG-1AER





    Obviously it was only after taking the photo that I noticed I hadn't updated the other Gulfmaster GWN-1000GB-1AER for BST...

    An interesting read. I'm still not convinced.

    Interested to hear how this performs....for running I currently use a Suunto Ambit 3 - I can upload routes to it for longer fell races and it'll work for 20 hours in 1 sec GPS mode too, but dang, I do like a G-Shock....

    I never really saw the appeal for whatever reason but now am quite taken by their complex simplicity (yes... I know!)

    So it now seems that I own three G-shocks and if I can find a yellow one locally four. Two more I tried to order from g shock Canada were also discontinued... is it common for Casio to show them on their website but for them not to be current stock anymore ?

    Regardless, this thread is certainly not helping keep that number down and I can see how someone quickly ends up with a dozen or so of these things.

    Keep posting the photos as us ‘lurkers ‘ enjoy it!

    Yes, it does happen. For example (this isn't a typical example, but still), they offer this remote-control watch and for a very long time, they also had the DBC-150 listed - I don't think either of these have been in production for at least ten years.

    I was thinking of getting the yellow Throwback 5600 myself actually, because I like the orange accents on the "rehaut", but I was going to swap the yellow bezel for a regular black one. But then I did a mock-up in MS Paint and decided it would be somehow too sombre and monochromatic. Which is good, because I'd have to live with the backlight logo, which is my pet peeve with G-shocks, so I think it's just as well.

    Totally agree with this. I always avoid the illuminated logos.
    They seem to be there to stop you reading what you’re trying to illuminate?!

    That seems to be a bit excessive. I’m surprised they are not more frequently updating their website. Oh well... doesn’t stop me from looking.

    I like the black bezel idea. For myself, the yellow styling was to match a new yellow canoe I’ve ordered... an esquif prospecteur 15. I suspect it’ll be renamed the banana boat at some point.

    My pleasure and you take a very good photo, especially that one as negative displays are very tricky to capture.
    As good as you make that black/red strap look, I still don't think I'd ever wear it, too much red for me.:)

    Is that the DW-5600HR-1ER?

    I've just ordered one from Amazon after I'd seen your pic, along with one of these :



    Don't particularly like G-Shocks; I've had a couple but they were never getting any wear so have been moved on.

    Those two look like they could be a bit of weekend fun though.
