I have a MASSIVE collection of G-Shocks that I recently started photographing. I figured I'd start sharing them with you guys. I collect and display them, wearing on occasion too. I've always loved them, especially the Squares of all years, and a few of the "Crazy Color" series in the DW6900 lineup from 2009/10. I love the designs, colors, features, and technology. My collection is a bit of an unhealthy obsession, but they're cheap enough (at least the ones I hunt out) and don't really break the bank. So as I photograph the collection, I'll share.
Please feel free to post any of yours too!

Currently two vintage ones in the collection. Bezels unfortunately long gone so using aftermarket ones. DW5400 with 240 module, was the first round G-Shock model produced. DW5600 with 691 module.

Very cool. If you’re looking for OEM bezels, search eBay. You’ll find loads of them. They’re inexpensive. See the green one above? I bought an OEM one cause the original had a gash. It was $13.98.

I think you have more luck with OEM bezels for the modern G-Shocks. Casio was offering a refurbishment service for the vintage DW-5000C and DW-5600C models in 2018 which included a replacement OEM bezel but you had to send your watch back to Japan. Anything else available on the net for the vintage models will be aftermarket unfortunately. Occasionally you can still find the vintage models with original bezels but they are either cracked or in poor condition.

Nice colection Seth! Look forward seeing the rest of them! And nice photograph set ups! Unfortunately I don t have many pics of my long gone Gshock collection (this is what I found) but I like them a lot. I have only two left in my collection now ... one mine and the other my kid’s You have the quintessential Square in my opinion.
Very nice to see your son has a little version You should treat him to a tough solar Multiband one like you!

Got this for $20. Removed and threw out bezel and band. Have an OEM bezel and band from another model. It’ll look awesome. Metallic flake navy blue. Gross!!

These are some damn good photos brother! Thanks! This lockdown has gotten me to explore my creative but still masculine side 😆 I have all sorts of knick knacks around the estate to photograph them with.
