This apparently "doesn't turn on" according to the seller. I think his reply to my question about if it had been tested with a battery didn't come back well translated by the eBay system, (the watch is coming from Spain), so I'…

A new fixer-upper coming soon!
One of my favourite models, the good old DW-6600.
I haven't bought one of these for a long time, and this one was calling my name as soon as I saw it and the description. It's coming from Canada so I probably won't see it for a good tw…
Continue readingGD-200-4 to be rescued!
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…
Continue readingThis is what annoys me about G-Shock collabs
So I know nothing about the organisation that is part of the latest collab on G-Shock UK that I had an email about today, but I had a look anyway.
The design on the watch itself looks quite cool, all reggae colours, and in a funky box that I could qui…

So another vintage 90's G has been purchased😂.
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…

Aaaaand 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…

This 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 readingAnother 80’s Casio pickup
I 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 did it again – I think I’m addicted!
I 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…
