Nice series Mitch, the Frog design took me many years to warm to, but really like them now. I haven't decided if I like the latest gen.

I like it.
Casio went back to homaging the DW-8200 series with the GWF-1000 series and even more so with the GF-8250 like yours. Indeed the resin on the 8250s is interchangeable with the 1990s models.
The 8200s are the series that set off the collecting mania for the G Shock Frogman and this spread to other models to some extent. The basic Frogman hold their value really well and the limited editions normally show good profits over time.

Cheers.
Still in 2000, here is the DW-8200NT-4JR.
For a long time this reigned as the only Frogman with a serial number on the caseback. Just 1000 were made and highly unusually, it was issued with no RRP so that retailers could charge what they liked. They sold out immediately and the colour combination was so popular that complaints were made to Casio and in 2001 they issued the DW-8200NT2 which was basically the same but was not a numbered edition and was produced in greater numbers with a RRP.

My God, logged onto here for the first time in a long time (thanks Eddie!) to find this, the one that started it all!
My first ever g-shock, bought it with the money from my first job when I was 17-18. Never been able to shake the bug since! Wish I still had it now!
Just gone though this whole thread, thanks for some outstanding pictures guys, and great g shocks! Especially Deepsea, some collection!
I love Paris and your pictures sum it up beautifully. Thanks for posting :)
I last went there earlier in the year and went to the Seiko boutique but now I know that there's a G Shock I'll have to go again.
