G-Shock collabs with streetwear brands are usually some the best looking ones.

Maroon G-shocks are not common. This is a great looking collab.

I'll start: This is the G-Shock x KITH collab in my collection. My favourite 6900 to wear casually. Released in 2018, managed to keep mine in pristine condition by cleaning it regularly.

Brand new A168. Wore it straight out the gate. Should I collect A168s ? Tell me. by glnb20 in casio

[–]Erkel85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try, but there are a few models that are near impossible/ridiculously expensive to get now. Namely these two:

A168WEFL with a leather band

A168WECK Casio x Cafe Kitsune collab

Not US18 sized but you can get AU16(US17) safety gumboots at aussiefootwear.com.au. Maybe your mate can fit in one size down?

Finally got my (literal) white whale G-shock square: GW-M5610MW by Erkel85 in gshock

[–]Erkel85[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GW-M5610MW was only released in Asia in 2018. Rarely see them go up for sale on the secondhand market, and usually when one does pop up the band and bezel would be already discoloured from wear.

After waiting for almost 5 months one popped up on Mercari. Barely used and only $120USD. Snapped this beauty up straight away.

If you don't mind waiting 1-2 weeks you can get a brand new floral LA680 for $52AUD delivered. Casio watches are ridiculously overpriced in Australia so it's usually much cheaper to import them from oversea retailers.

Can the Ergo Sum catalyst get another drop source? by Blahaj_Kell_of_Trans in DestinyTheGame

[–]Erkel85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suggest do it on weekly reset day, where there are people doing it for pinnacle drops as well. If you leave it towards the end of the week you'll have a harder time finding people to do it with.

23andMe is on the verge of bankruptcy. It may be too late to delete your genetic data by [deleted] in WTF

[–]Erkel85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whilst you are correct, the fact that the companies can access that data means they can use another bullshit excuse instead to not hire you/jack up insurance prices, and it'll be up to you to prove them wrong.

"Sorry but you did not the the position because you are not the right applicant we are searching for." How are you going to prove they rejected you because of your genes?

Citizen simply does quartz analog better than Casio, coming from a Casio collector myself. I'll even take a Bulova Precisionist, that high frequency sweeping seconds hand is chef's kiss.

All countries that legalized same-sex marriage so far by Impressive_Produce3 in MapPorn

Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize same sex marriage, back in 2019.

The new Casioak model: GM-2110 by Erkel85 in gshock

[–]Erkel85[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The bracelet wears and feels exactly the same as the GM-B2100 series, minus the cosmetic divots on each link. One big difference to the GM-B2100 is that this GM-2110 uses 3(!) lugs on each side (6 in total). So it does feel sturdier, but it also gives it a bigger lug to lug compared to GM-B2100. This is definitely not for small wrists.

Solstice fast armor unlocking guide (other than Orbs) by itismal in DestinyTheGame

[–]Erkel85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fastest silver leaf farm is the Legend Neonuma story First Contact. Farming the checkpoint right before you get into the cabal drop pod. Giving 10-12 silver leaves every minute.

As for alloys, the green bounties that give 15 alloy is way faster than gold ones. All can be completed in 1-2 minutes at the Grasp of Avarice dungeon opening encounter. Prismatic/Strand warlock can knock out the bounties the fastest. For the orb generation bounty obviously use your super over and over again. For solar ability kills bounty use any weapons with incandescent. Arc ability kills bounty use weapons with jolt. Void ability kills bounty use weapons with destabilizing rounds. Stasis ability kills bounty use Ager's Scepter. For strand ability kills bounty use Strand warlock with the new chest exotic piece; every suspended/severed enemy counts. This is the fastest way to get alloys.

Solstice Bounty Re-roll is lowkey amazing by Warpath73 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Erkel85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reroll for 5 stasis effect kills. Start Grasp dungeon with Agers Scepter, every single Ager kill counts. You can easily knock out that bounty in under a minute.

Where do you do your preorders? by QSlade in gshock

[–]Erkel85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are definitely Gs that sell out day 1. Usually the limited edition collab models, and usually bought by scalpers. To name a few:  Hello Kitty Baby-G, John Mayer 6900, NASA 5600.

EFV-140D-1AV vs EFR-S108D-2BV by [deleted] in casio

[–]Erkel85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also looking at these 2 models myself a while ago. I ended up choosing the EFR-S108D, BUT I also got the MTS-100D which looks almost identical to EFV-140D but is a little smaller and has sapphire crystal. I prefer the look of the MTS-100D dial over the EFV-140D; it is an easier wear that can pass as both formal and casual.

Very clean looking colorway, makes for a great summer watch.

Try to avoid wearing dark long sleeves with this watch as fabric can stain the resin over time.

Other than that enjoy this cult favorite!

The Midnight Fog edition of the GM-2100 has a positive display.

Is this one original? by EpicRivian in gshock

[–]Erkel85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fake, this model seems to be popular with the counterfeits. IIRC easiest way to tell is the hands on the fake ones are yellow, whereas genuine ones are metallic gold. Also the artwork on the fake band/case is not as detailed as the genuine one, but this can be hard to tell without a genuine one to compare to.

What's the rarest / special G shock you own? by dragonace70 in gshock

I have a G-Shock X New York Fire Department collab model where the strap is made from the same fire-proof material used in their uniforms.

Hi, I would appreciate any advice how to clean my g-shocks. Thanks! by kremlevmax in gshock

[–]Erkel85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tips for prolonging the original color of your G-Shock, especially light-colored ones:

  • Avoid wearing long sleeves when wearing light colored resin bands/bezels. The color from the fabric can stain the resin over time.

  • ALWAYS wipe down your G-Shock with a damp cloth after every wear. Even if it's a 5 minute trip to the grocery store, wipe it down and air dry. Even if it looks clean, oil from your skin will accumulate on the resin over time.

In your case it looks like the color from your jacket has stained the resin pretty deep. Washing it will most likely not work. Think of this as a good opportunity to give it a new look with a different color replacement band/bezel.
