My new rep came today.

[iur]

I spent £8 including postage from china for my new Casio G Shock.
It's not bad but not great.
I had no idea that they made rep g shock watches, but eBay has loads of them.
I was going to wear my gen Breitling today but you know the rules, a new watch must be worn.

 

[shandroid]

I mean this as respectfully as possible RUI - but why bother with a rep G-shock????

Whatever floats your boat brother, but surely a gen is not outta reach for you

 

[iur]

No a gen is not out of my reach but for £8 I can buy it see if I ever wear it if I wear it more than a couple of times I will buy a real one if not I have a piece of history, a fake casio.

 

[shandroid]

lol - good point... i suppose, the same could be said for any rep....

So, what's your rundown on the G - not great? why not?

 

[iur]

Well the sel's don't fit that well, the sub dial spacing is wrong, the rotor is a little loud ;o)

You need to pimp that sucker out!



You can have all sorts of fun with this!

The gen version...

Watchuseek has a whole section dedicated to G-Shock, and lots of guys with neat tips and tricks to customizing them.

I buy reps because I want to not because I have to. Same would go for this I guess.

+1 on this.

I've bought some cheap crap off the bay just to pull apart and pratice on.

Enjoy your £8 watch.

Good luck, Phil

You could even do a smash-my-g-force video without too much remorse

 

[iur]

I showed a friend today and told him that it was a copy and he did not believe me.
Now do I dare to wear it in the Breitling AD tomorrow.
