Show us your G Shock

All 3 watches are the same. The one in the middle is the original reference. The 2 flanking it were modded and received new bands and bezels. They were in horrible original condition so I bought them for under $20.00 each. This is just a quick picture.

On the left, I painted the G button center black. The bezel and band are from another reference that fit and match nicely.

On the right, I swapped out the button for a gray one and painted the center silver. I picked up a basic matte black OEM bezel and band for $14.00. I painted the bezel letters silver and the word “G-Shock” with blue. I used metallic auto touch up paint from some old cars I had.



I set the time and date after the photo.

So, as if I didn’t have enough, I’ve just ordered one of these




A Frogman GWF-A1000BRT-1A “Borneo Rainbow Toad”

Should be here in a few days. Needed a bit more colour!

No space in the G Shock box, however, so something may have to go

Nothing goes! Start a new box! Awesome addition That’s a killer piece! Congrats. I’m looking at the GM110RB-2A which has similar coloring with rainbow ion plating on the stainless bezel.

Haha. That’s why I love this place!

The voice of reason

That GM110RB is very nice! Love the red strap.

Go for it. You know you want to !

Very very cool. The colors are awesome and the process of applying is cool too. That’s definitely an awesome addition to any collection.

The one I wanted is sold out. I waited and waited and hopefully it’ll be back soon.
