Pro-tip.

Google the model designation of your watch along with "instructions" or "instructions PDF"

[TheJimi]

Seriously tempted by this. I originally wanted the gold version, but saw this one in the flesh today -

[TheJimi]

Is that the kinda rose gold version?

[TheJimi]

Awesome!

I'm seriously thinking about the purple version, but haven't tried it on yet. Will do so soon, though.

Are you happy with it?

Just treated myself to this.



Have about 20 G’s but not a metal one yet so a nice colour to break my cherry!

I've been chewing over that exact watch!

[TheJimi]

Indeed, sage words!

I'm dithering over this or the gold version - most likely this one, though.

For me at least, I would suggest that the gold one will be available for a while whereas it seems as though the Red one is a limited release that is almost sold out.

If i like the Red I may treat myself to a Gold or a Rose Gold later.

Ha! Knew there was a reason I held off - just managed to get an extra 10% off from Jura

Can i ask how you managed this? Is it through joining the mailing list as i asked but was told not able to on sale item’s.

Not picked it up yet and bought from cw sellors who are the same as Jura I believe.

Of course. I got an email from them this morning -

[TheJimi]

Brilliant!

We're some team, eh?

[TheJimi]

Indeed we are



Been wearing my Corum Bubble all day so feels fairly light! Really nice piece and a welcome addition.

The Bubble has always fascinated me!

Which version do you have?

[TheJimi]

Sheetmaself said:

It’s a Corum Boutique model and haven’t seen any similar and it is a Quartz version. But I got it before they re-released them so it was also a steal at about £6-700 if I remember correctly. I would love the bat version, mainly for the box though!

That's a cracker.

and yes, the bat version is truly awesome

[TheJimi]

This thing is awesome in the flesh, I really really like it.

Not convinced I'd have paid £500 for it, but at £216 it's spot on.



(Ignore the bits of dust on the watch!)

[TheJimi]

All the metal GMW 5000 series are ION plated as I understand it. No idea how scratch resistant they'll be, however.

See above. I think I was quite jammy to be fair.

Although, sheetmaself was arguably even jammier - he managed to get them to refund him the discount value after having already purchased the watch!

[TheJimi]

Even without the extra 10%, it's still a great deal - you'll be impressed with the watch. I'd be amazed if you weren't.

[TheJimi]

Yep, all 4 of mine twist.

If you hold one in place and try to turn the opposite, it won't turn. Decorative, then.

Here is my little collection of Casio GMW-B5000

I have @TheJimi to thank for the red one and I promised him that I'd post a pic of them all together.



I just love these watches. I wear the silver one every day and the other two on special occasions.

Brilliant! Cracking trio, that

Glad you like the watch.

[TheJimi]

Whoa! Like that.

Details, please?

And if you want the specific one https://g-shock.co.uk/ga-2100vb-1aer

Yup, that one.

Brilliant, thanks!

Knew it was a Casioak but didn't know the exact designation for that model.

Are the colours quite vivid in the flesh? If so, I'm having that.

Ernest Jones had an event on stating 50% off. This was reduced to £187. I was then informed that the price was before the 50% off event so go this for £93.50!!!!
