My very lovely Casio which, as of yesterday, is sitting on a shelf because I purchased a Breitling unitime. But I do love this watch.
After my Rangeman went out the door, for being just a bit to unmanageable for me, I was interested to read another thread where the Riseman was spoken of so highly.
I won this one on Ebay and it arrived yesterday (along with a new Citizen). It looks a bit tatty around the bezel and I have ordered a new one, along with a strap, not sure if it will be a genuine Casio or not when it gets here.
I took the bezel and rear cover off to give it a clean, and boy, did it need it! There was half a playing-fields worth of mud, and stuff I don't even want to know what it was, under there!
Here it is before he gets his new clothes.
The case back looks a bit hacked, it must have been the previous owner/s trying to scrape the crud out from under the cover. Made in Japan apparently, I expected it to be made in Thailand.
Looks good
I just checked mine and likewise am surprise to see that its a Japanese one - I had assumed it was from somewhere else
As a matter of interest, where did you order your new bezel and strap from?

Looks like thats part of the "module" inside the case... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1320146840...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
so, no.
The strap is a decent price from TikTox http://www.tiktox.com/gw-9200.html
Think I might just tuck a few spares away in a drawer, since this one's no longer available.
Pacparts will have the sensor decal in stock. However, they are based in the USA and every order I've had from them attracts import duties. Shipping isn't cheap either, but they do have some stuff cheaper than tiktox and also some stuff you can't get from Keith.
The Pacparts site has an impressive range of parts - thanks for the link
You're welcome. Easiest to search using the code for the watch, e.g. "GW9200" and then click on the relevant Riseman in the list. Some items may not be in stock for which there is a 1-2 week lead time. Therefore, if you are ordering a range of stuff, some in stock, some not, always take the option of having it all delivered in one go when all of the items ordered are ready to be shipped. That way, you only pay the £17 or so shipping fee once.
I need to go to the RM depot tomorrow to pay the import duties (£18.53 including processing fee) and collect a package from Pacparts. I ordered quite a few items to the value of about £50, but even then, the overheads are high. My first order from Pacparts was for about £100 of stuff and it didn't seem so bad, but then I ordered a load of stuff I may never use such as Riseman buttons, eyes etc in different colours.
Ive ordered a couple of the sensor logos as I cant see them available from other sources
Straps and bezels seem fairly easy to get hold of in various colours
My OCD couldn't cope with fitting a new bezel without the logo
I rather fancy a white one
I fully agree about the sensor decal on the Riseman. Same goes for the bezel screws/rivets on the Rangeman.
I got a white Riseman bezel and strap from Tiktox and think that Keith will be getting more in stock. I've never tried Casio themselves, but you can get most Riseman parts you will need from either Tiktox, Pacparts or eBay. Availability of bezels and straps for the rarest LE colours are another matter though.
Congrats electorn

My Riseman complete with new clothes (less the sensor logo - both replacement bezels arrived without it).
Looks great all the same.
Good work!
It looks OK without the sticker I think
March it is. Spring is around the corner
