G-Shock turned 42 over the weekend

Casio’s worst design decision
I love the B5000D-1, but who would deny it’s too blingy/flashy? Why they did a mirror finish on the case is beyond me. It’s a tool watch after all.

Whatever happened to ‘hydro’ modding?
A few years back, barely a week went by without someone showing off their latest hydro modded watch, or asking questions on how to do it. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw a post on this now. Why has it fallen out of fashion?
Continue reading(Hydro modding was the act of filling your G Shock with an inert silicon oil, which was said to enhance the legibility of the digital display, as well as increasing the water resistance due to the watch withstanding higher outside pressures)

So I have a mostly older collection. It’s one by one turning to dust. How can I get these discontinued parts reprinted. I haven’t been able to find anyone that will do this. Any help would be much appreciated. My cremated watches appreciate it also lol
