Now this looks very nice. GW-T5030C-1JR limited to 200 world wide with titanium case and a screen pattern reminiscent of the 5035.

Is this your watch? If so nice job - Ti Gs are definitely hard to come by....

Sadly not - but I would sell several body parts to get one. I thought I'd share it, as I've never seen one before.

Oh dear..... the bug is biting again. Do I need two? Of course not LOL. This Topic strikes me as a nice friendly and understanding environment for WIS with a 'Shock inclination.

[andrewcregan]

Looks absolutely stunning in Blue.
You don’t seem to get as many G’s in blue, so a nice change too

You’ve definitely got the G bug - welcome along.
It’s not a Shock inclination, more of an addiction Keep the photos coming.

Well you can always create your own blue.

This was a few years back - the next one will look a bit different.

Absolutely love that Blue.
Loitering round here as I have paid for my first ever G-Shock today.
Can't wait for its arrival

A GW-5000.
Thinking that this, combined with my previous daily, a daytona perhaps now relegated to 'best'. Might be all that I need.

Black one on Tuesday

Is it limited to one per person like the gold and silver were.

Wouldn't mind one of those, but live 250 miles away

[MattH]

Hi,

ebay already has some “preorder” listed for £1250 😂

cheers

I almost picked my negative King today as well but opted for the Mudman in the end.
The colour is a bit weird, blue-ish in some light and black-grey in others.

[deepsea_dweller]

Green one today

Arrived today thanks to Mark and Vinnie.



My first G-Shock. Have absolutely loved treating it terribly in the garden all afternoon, without a second thought.
Genuinely believe that for my lifestyle, this for most times, and my daytona taking on just best duties from now on. Could be a complete and compact collection. All I need surely?
Black+White, Analogue and Digital, Metal and Rubber. So it goes on.

But then again that would be sensible and rational.
Something that neither I, or this new found hobby seem to be.........

[deepsea_dweller]

Congrats Holy Moses

Welcome Holy Moses, a great G and great combo.

A new one for me today.... Can you tell the time?

Ah, here we go (does my wrist look small in this? LOL)...

Had a GMW-B5000 de-blinged,

My God that looks amazing. Not a very useful post, I know, but a honest one. Hopefully Casio put out a model *just* like that (and without the BT BS if at all possible), and they're guaranteed to make a lot of people happy to spend a lot of money.

[Wallasey Runner]

Interesting modification. Casio have released a matt gold version to save people having to do this to their highly polished version.

It looks a professional job, I'm guessing the outer case and bracelet removed and sandblasted rather than a rub with a block of Gerryflex.

Have you also got another silver version in original state or was this a huge leap of faith.

Not sure I could do it.

Am sure S.L. will buy another one if he hasn't already, his addiction habits are baaaad!

I like the look too, I wouldn't say it's better than the blingy version, just different.

Would be interesting to see one done similar but where the "G Shock / PROTECTION" bezel is left alone.

Basically yes. A UK based guy on e-bay had two untouched sets and I haggled away. I managed to knock £200 off his starting position, but still paid a high price.

Since then very few have been listed and the asking prices have climbed, so who knows if I did the right thing, but like others, when I saw the pics of it I just had to have one.

I have to say it is the class act of the three, it looks stunning in the flesh and I have had a few compliments on it. I also had to pay a premium to get the gold.

I have a theory that there is a small band of guys on e-bay who seem to have access to virtually everything. Are they insiders. The guy I bought the gold off has listed at least 5 now, so draw your own conclusions.

[MattH]

So for anyone interested the kolor gshock is £599 from the london
gshock shop tomorrow - ouch !

If I had the spare money I would have done the same. Have a friend who has a friend who works at G Shock who was trying to get me the black but it never happened in the end. Maybe he sold it to you at a profit? Ha.

But it does look great and I don't blame you for paying a premium.

You would pay double and some more on e-bay.

I am not convinced about the reverse display on this and a few other models like the silver with the black strap.

Anyone buying one at £599 won't lose money.

Not a fan of reverse displays in general and I feel these steel Gs only work on the bracelet.

Think you done well with the Porter, I reckon that is a future absolute classic G.

[Wallasey Runner]

I didn't at the time, had a few hundred in the Watch fund, but took a conscious decision to buy the gold and Porter whilst I still could with what was in effect borrowed money and then sell my Speedmaster Moonphase to replace the money. A little extreme, but it worked.

Thank you, the numbers appearing second hand are really slimming down now, so I would advise anyone interested to go for it whilst you can. When they first came out you could buy them with a 100% mark up, but now you would have to pay closer to £3k.

Still worth it in my opinion.

I cannot believe anyone would pay 3k for a gshock however the case has been coated... but hey the watch hobby is bonkers !

The boat has long since sailed, so the choice is easy, pay the current going rate or admire from a distance.

As a comparision, I bought a Speedmaster Silver Snoopy for £8.5k and the 'I wouldn't pay a penny over list' brigade thought I was mad. The last one listed in the UK was £21k for a £4.5k watch. If only I had kept it.

Out of interest, go on the Timeless website and there are several G-Shocks with a list over £3k.

I’d be more interested without the Bluetooth

The bluetooth is a nice extra but its not a compulsory part
of the watch - you dont lose anything by not using it.

Its nicely implemented and makes
it easy to sync the time or swap timezones.

As its still solar powered you dont feel like its a drain having it active.
Certainly a cheaper option to breitlings solution :)

If anyone is going today and can pick up a second I would be very grateful. Equally if anyone buys one and doesn't feel the love, give me a shout.

It is a PITA that you can only buy in person from the Carnaby Street store when I live 250 miles away. I have phoned before and they refuse to do mail order.

Seconded.
I would also happily be without the BT functionality but the use of it is entirely optional.

I am the same. Gutted I missed out because of where I live. Online ballot or order would have been better. They even deleted an instagram post expressing my displeasure.
Anyone in London who can get one I am happy to bung in a donation to the fundraiser for your service.

I never use the Bluetooth on mine but it's good to know (I'm pretty sure) all new Bluetooth g shocks can have the date in MMYY which is definitely my preference.
