I picked this up today on eBay, won it at €34 from Italy👍.
It's currently not displaying properly, so either just needs an AC Reset and if that's not it then a deeper dive is required. My sort of job though🙂.
These are nice looking watches…

The design on the watch itself looks quite cool, all reggae colours, and in a funky box that I could qui…

The DW-80XX series is one of those love/hate watches I think, but I've always liked them. Years back I had the 8010 which was the one with a built-in card game.
I only paid just over £30 for i…
Continue readingAaaaand finally, the third resto/refurb from the eBay bundle I posted about recently.
This is on more of the refurb side, there's nothing technical or electronic that I need to fix on this one, literally a new battery and a clean up.
1. Arrival…
Continue readingThis is the second thread about one of the watches from my recent bundle pickup.
This one will make my little 5300 collection complete as I have a silver and gold version already.
The seller told me the two right hand buttons weren't working bu…
Continue readingI couldn't resist bidding on this one just now,and stuck with my one high bid of £50, won it at £42👍. That, with a credit I had on my account, then became £29🙂.
It's another gamble though as it was selling as not running and untested, but t…
Continue readingI got accepted at a best offer of just £40 for this DW-6500, bargain in my eyes👍.
It will be a nice addition to my little line of “classic” G-Shocks, and I’ve already ordered a vintage.my bezel this morning. It might need a new strap, I’ll have to wait to see if the one on it cleans up ok. If not then I have found a new one on eBay.
The seller says all is working, just that the Alti/Baro readings show but don’t…
It’s an A-300U, from 1987. I guess these were the forerunners of the AE-1200WHD.
Looks to be in great condition, hopefully a new battery and a clean will be all it needs. Only a couple of the seller’s photos were worth putting up so here we are:
This one looks a bit odd because they did the photo with the watch upside down so I’ve had to rotate it:

After some of my recent finds and subsequent restorations, I’ve kind of decided to try and make a collection of “classic” vintage G’s other than 5xxx’s. I’ve had, and flipped, a number of different models over the years, but this time I’m picking particular ones and keeping them.
This one is a DW-6100, gold edition. I had it on watch and got an offer last night, which seemed fair to me, totalling £60 and a few pennies. It was actually a dual watch lot, the other one…
I know, I know! You’ll be bored of my vintage G threads soon😂
The seller had it listed as not working after a new CTL was installed. It should just be a case of AC reset and then set the watch. It won’t need sun because the CTL batteries come fully charged.
Nothing else to say, apart from it was on a Buy it Now of £57, or Best Offer👍, he…
