I’m
not much of a recent release G-Shock collector but when I did a search of
current G-Shock models for sale I came upon this beauty; model DW-D5600P-8JF
released in May 2014. I was instantly
attracted to this watch because of the colors used. The grey reminded me of a similar grey used
on a Nintendo Game Boy. Now believe it
or not, but just a few months ago I was watching an actual Game Boy watch on
eBay. That watch looked exactly like a
miniature Game Boy, but with a grey band and a face that read the time.
Unfortunately I had to pass bidding on that watch because the seller was unsure
if the 20 year old watch still worked.
Although I was a
little disappointed for passing up on such a nice Nintendo collectable, I felt
I had made the right decision because eventually that watch would have broken
into piece after a day with me (I’m not careful with how I treat my watches). This is why I love G-Shocks, because they can
take a beating and still look pristine and fashionable. So when I saw this 5600 for sale, I felt like
destiny had made this watch for me. It
has the best of both G-Shock (quality watch) and Nintendo (Game Boy colors). Granted the watch also has a Miami Vice
flavour with its turquoise, blue and hot pink highlights.
Another interesting feature
about this watch is the return of the metal face protector (bull bars). This feature is a throwback to the DW5600ED
model released in 1996. I don’t have any
watch with a metal face protector and was always jealous that select Baby G’s
carried this feature, so when I saw it on this model I was very excited. My only complaint about this watch is that
the band does feel a little snug (on my usual hole), but that’s an easy fix by
just wearing it a little looser. Other
than that this is a great watch that I’m glad to add to my collection. Please note the version I have is model
DW-D5600P-8JF (Japan release).
Parabéns pela aquisição. Estou pensando em comprar um idêntico, pena que aqui no Brasil é bem mais caro do que vale.
ReplyDeleteSim Brasil tem algumas das importações mais caras . Eu recomendo que você acabou de enviar o seu dinheiro a um amigo nos EUA, e tê-los enviá-lo para você em vez disso.
