    it seems crazy some times that parts cost more then the whole watch some times looking at replacement parts ... remember bought a solar charge battery for a g shock cost be like £15 and when I sold the watch I don't think i got much more for the watch

    but I do enjoy repairing and saving them
    perhaps in the near future we can make an arrangement where you source me a module and build me one, i won't lowball you

    well just thinking would we buy a g shock if we know it is a bugger to source a bezel/strap ... ? ...

    mean I have two 9052/53 that are waiting to get sorted the bezels are not that much of an issue but annoys me that the studs are sold separate and cost more then the bezels too ..it's cheaper to bin them and buy a new one seen some new one at like £40, where the studs are £22 plus post and when you add in bezels it's like £50 ish plus post

    saw and nice vintage dw 5300 but getting a bezel could be trick ..so it would be a buy now and then wait till one appears at some point on the bay .. mean could be an option as a fully complete one as a buy now it's like a couple of hundred so guess it worth buying the parts as they appear maybe ?

    I probably wouldnt buy if the strap/bezel were too hard to get.

    it's by no means expensive, but dont the non g's always come in these blue small cardboard boxes? Would suck to buy a fake watch at any price. If it was an unkown brand 27£ would still be cheap. Not a sign of a model ref nr anywhere ?
