I’m really enjoying doing these resto’s on vintage G’s at the moment, and I grabbed this from eBay UK the other day for just £17, making it ideal for being able to spend out on the bits I need.

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…

Yep – A other vintage restoration😂

I really like the watch on principle – solar, atomic, auto-backlight, $100 or so – but the watch simply wouldn’t sync for me (US northeast, coastal city) even when left in a second floor window overnight with a full battery meter. Is this normal? I’m probably just returning it to get a completely dumb basic Bluetooth model like the GW-B5600 instead — I don’t particularly want bluetooth features in general, but I did want to reliably not have to mess with the time.

Anyone else have this…

G-Shock GWM5610 radio reception woes / remorse

Hi,

Are old quartz or solar watches worth buying? I saw some aluminum Swatch Ironys at a friend’s house, which were from the late 90s or mid-2000s. Looking in the G-Shock database, I found many interesting models, but some were also from the same period (late 90s or mid-2000s) as my friend’s Swatches. If these watches break, can they be repaired? Can functional parts be found for such watches, if such parts are possible to replace?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Adrian

Hi

Does anyone know why/how the light button isn’t flush. The button looks like it’s up one one side. Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards Ed

I have a simple question. I live in a country that does not get any radio sync signal. I would like to use an emulator. Suppose that I download an app that emulates, say, WWVB signals. What time zone do I need to set as local on the watch? Right now, the watch is set to Thailand’s time zone. Thanks.
