Robert finds his G-Shock nude!

I found it I found it!

This is one watch for which I have been searching for over a year. Today I found three versions of them and had to pick one up. One had the square look which is old. Another was a Mudman and I felt the writing on the face was too obvious. It was tiny and white but said MUDMAN in red. Pass. So I got this one and it is ALL black. Mmmmm good!

Don't you love it when you go to the store to get a toaster and walk out with a watch? I love it when that happens! And for under $100, how can I say no? I picked it up on the local Air Force Base, it was on a shelf for Mother's Day. I suppose if your Mom is in Special Operations it is perfect for her.

So here you go, pictures of the G-Shock nude! Woohoo!


THE CASIO G-SHOCK WITHOUT ALL THAT WRITING:



LET ME ADD A LITTLE LIGHT TO THE TIME:



IT MAKES A STATEMENT BY SAYING NOTHING:



GUNMETAL CLASP:



VERY LITTLE NOMENCLATURE:



SO SLEEK AND SEXY!:

I got this at the Air Force Base last weekend. This one was $80, the Mudman was $88. Worth double in my opinion!

Yes the square one had that style but it was all black. I am unsure of the price but I think the mudman was the highest at $88.

I'll make a run to see if there are more, anyone interested PM me!

Oky all, I found a source for them! They are about 10% more than my cost but ther is free shipping for most, so that's a good thing. It is likely best I just add the links in this thread. Let me know what you get!

THE WATCH BELOW IS AVAILABLE BY CLICKING HERE.



THIS WATCH CAN BE HAD BY CLICKING HERE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT I HAVE.



THIS WATCH CAN BE HAD HERE BUT IT HAD TOO MUCH WHITE FOR ME.



THIS ONE HERE I HAVE NOT SEEN BUT I LIKE IT.

It's very sad G-Shocks used to be made in Japan and comes with screw in case backs instead of the 4 tiny screws on my G 9000 caseback.

Agree with you Robert. I've got the DW 6900 and Frogman both in MIRB series. Combined with a Rolex these 2 would make an 'ALL OR NOTHING' statement Very cool.
