Wow. I am so impressed by your collection and passion for the legendary G-Shock! What a fantastic thing to see my brother! They oldest G in my collection and probably my favourite of all time is the GW 9200 (though not quite vintage) Riseman which was released in June 2008. Good luck my friend on your quest and make sure to keep us updated on your progress..
Thanks for the comment. I love the Riseman as well. I regret selling the white and all blue version of the Riseman. Oh well... Will definitely update on my progress :)
Mine was the DW-8100. Resin and metal case. Electroluminescent lighting. It was big and bold, yet surprisingly light. Lasted almost 20 years. The module still worked but the resin fell off in chunks.
Plenty of custom bezel and straps available today for the DW-81XX. It used to be really hard to get, as it was handmade. But now someone has produced these bezels/straps in large quantities.
I bought the Hero, DW-5200 in October 1984 after a football match between Chelsea v Watford, when Watford were one of the best teams in England. It cost me £45.....bargain considering I'm wearing it as I write this in March 2024..... nearly 40 years later ! The watch module and crystal are immaculate, but I am on my second bezel and second strap. This second bezel is starting to get shiny and has a small bits missing, but it's not too bad. I need to get a new bezel from Brazil, soon. Thanks for all the information.
My actual favourite G-Shock actually pre-dates the G-Shock, but is very much in the G style, it’s the DW-1000. Would love to own one again, but everyone is asking silly money and they are all out of my price range.
The perfect bible was from a bookstore in Japan. Usually i will check for used books with G-Shock keyword, every now and then something shows up. Recently i added 3 more books, did a quick unboxing on my Facebook page. Check it out
i got it from my local bookstore when it was launched. If you are looking for it, try ebay or fb groups on G-Shock. These were limited to 2500 copies and sold out quickly.

Wow! Love your vintage watches. Keep up with your hobby/passion. Thank You......
Great video! Hard to say which one is my favorite because there is so many cool vintage G's. But I would say 5000C. The "Showstarter" 🙂
Its definitely "my precious" one. 37 years and still going strong! Thanks for watching & the continuous support :)
Wow never new about the 81xx series, only the Stargate. Nice showcase!
Thanks!

Una locura increíble gran colección
G-Shock Dw5600E-1V on the wrist, my favorite!!! (1996)
@Douglas Pantera Absolutely! Like an Evolution "Dw5600E-Evo" eheh, plus a REM (reminder) feature like the old Dw5600C from 1987!!
dw001 and the early g lide model the titanium frogman and the mudman that looks like the dw6900 forgot the number the gaussman too
The Man series is another great collection to go after...personally I want the Antman! Thanks for watching 😊
my favorite G-shock vintage got to to be the GE-2000B-7V designed by pininfarina.
GE-2000B-7V looks very interesting! Not a conventional design for a G-Shock watch. Thanks for sharing :)
my favorite one is dw5000,but i don't have it yet,i got dw 5200 ;dw 5600 : dw 5700 and dw 6900 ,all from 80's except 6900 its from 90's
Where you find that book?Like the video and watches.👍
Got it from Japan. Watch this video here, ISBN numbers are mentioned as well. th-cam.com/video/TMEdWOzgCuc/w-d-xo.html
Hi, can I ask you where did you get that catalogue?
I don't have a vintage g-shock watch but I think one with MB (5-6) must be fine, the precise time for me is essential
@Douglas Pantera no phone
Nice video 😊😁
Thanks!

@@Gsyoku Ok thanks mate! I saw one on ebay but it's not cheap.
The original price was around 12USD, now its around 50USD. Only 2500 copies were printed, hence the scarcity
