Let's talk G-Shocks, ProTreks, and other Casio's

RE: Coke - There’s an easy mod here when the price gets discounted. Red background LED’s are pretty rare in the G-shock line. Lucky if you can find a GW-B5600AR-1 under $250. Coke + Ti robo mod = : )

Think I got mine on an early MLTD sale for $85 or so? Slapped it on a knock off combi from Ali Express. I have that and my even rarer GWB5600MG-1 (in a black titanium metal set). Several of us here I think bought that same GWB5600AR deal.

I love this cheap combo I put together for about $20.

Hard to argue with that Andy

That would look pretty cool.

Now I need to look into one of those Ti AliEx bracelets CVP33 is always posting.

Nice. I bought that GA2100 from MLTD for $45 to get me over the free shipping amount on another watch I wanted. Looked really cool, but the hands blended in too much for my eyes. Flipped it for about $70 on ebay. Too many Ga2100s to hold one I won't wear much, even though I really liked it.

They have another similar model out now that instead of matte black it's shiny resin, but it has bright green/yellow hands. Might try that one if a good deal comes up.

I was originally looking at that model, but when I saw a video it looks SO shiny that it decided against it.

I figured I could always get an AliExpress bezel and band set for $15 or less. I've actually got a couple that while not as good as stock in all aspects are pretty good. Probably a different resin formula or something. I put them on my Skeleton model.

I sent this to my 2nd cousin who collects Coca Cola stuff. She sent me a TikTok meme.

Her mother passed away and the 3rd cousins of mine that lived with their grandmother had to go live with their aunt, wearing the watch.

3rd cousin #1 starts gymnastics that my wife and I pay for as soon as the slot opens up. She is 10 and I can get her into a local university for free. I’m starting a long road of getting her out of housing projects.

Reason I bring it all up? The young lady making it all happen is wearing a watch I found thanks to people here. It’s part of a circle of life.

Hey all, loving the Casio talk here! Been a G-Shock fan for ages and the new models being discussed are super interesting. The GA-B001 series caught my eye, especially with its unique strap and bezel design. Thinking of grabbing one since it's priced well. Also curious about the smaller case size mentioned. Always cool to see how Casio evolves their designs while keeping that rugged quality. Thanks for all the great insights and discussions, it's awesome being part of this community!

That new case shape is pretty funky. I don't dislike it.
