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…
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…
Ok, some of you will have seen my thread about the AWG-M500KG I’ve had delivered but has the wrong colour resins fitted. I’ve got a bezel on the way, but the straps are discontinued so virtually no chance to get any.
@Viper45 suggested a velcro band used to be made for the 500 as a possible option but I can’t find any.
I have, however, with different search combinations, happened across an Etsy US…
I just won this on an offer of £20 this morning, CS-831. Looking on Digital Watch.com, this is from 1983.
I think the seller photos make it look a little worse than it will come out after a clean up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s far from pristine but hopefully will look nicer after I’ve worked on it.
It was being sold as “somewhat working”, with the seller saying they couldn’t set it up. The buttons look a little rough, but being that…
So this one is a DW-002, in a poor state, but that’s only looking cosmetic rather than damage.
I’ve already thrown the original velcro/fabric strap. Apart from the fact it just would never have cleaned up properly, I’ve never liked them because they make the watch stand up way too tall on the…
