@@EagleOne49 I wanted it for a long time, then I had the opportunity to finally get one, bought it, sold it, bought it back again. 🥴

@@EagleOne49 she’s definitely a top class piece😉

@@expat1902 Awesome, you’re gonna love it. Be aware though, if you’re accustom to the 1000 series and the D1000 series frogman, you will find this one extremely light on the wrist. Not a problem, just something to be aware of. Enjoy it in the best of health 🐸🖤🐸

@@JulianLikesPlanes congrats, it’s still a great piece, even after all these years.

@@1972myc Exactly my friend. That’s why I’m keeping models like this in stock original condition. 👍🏾

@@EverydayJ1786 it’s actually one of the better ones and this was a poor example vid clip. I’ve had this watch for 14yrs and it’s never been a problem.

@@farooqumer4619 Hi, if memory serves, this piece was around the $600 mark but that was in 2017.

@@erwin734 metal bracelet would be awesome. Just like the option you get with the latest MRG Frogman series. I don’t mind the long strap though, it doesn’t bother me if I’m honest.

Yeah, they seemed to have missed that detail.

@@happypets2245 I can say that I still have it on my watch and it never cracked.

Okay.

Which button are you pressing?

They do indeed. Thanks for your kind words. You’re going to love the Frogman and it’s perfect as a beater as it’s so over built. It will definitely take everything that you can throw at it. Congrats on your first Frogman and enjoy it in the best of health 🐸🙏🏾🐸

Added all the facts of the watch, as I always do, and then added my opinion of the watch. Never had a complaint about my method and conclusion. It’s factual, short and honest, if you wanted to know something else or if you felt that something was missed, all you had to do was ask!

Thanks for the kind words. Don’t watch this vid too often or you may just end up with an empty wallet 🐸🖤🐸

Awesome. Mine has remained this way. It’s a great reskinning and suits the 1035 well. I loved it so much, I made it my thumbnail 👍🏾

I sold this one now but the battery is still good. It’s been a few years. The battery in the 7C46 module is outstanding.

@@desire68frogman98 ookeey thank you sirrrr

@@martinator7 No worries, actually wish I did still have it, it’s a phenomenal piece, should have kept it.

I tend to agree with you here John. 👍🏾

Great choices. Thats the thing about G-Shocks, there’s something for everyone.

She loves every single one of them and treats them exactly how a G-Shock should be treated, roughly.

Thanks, squares are good too man.

Hope your daughter has the BGD-5000. It's a mini GW-M5610...

She’s not into squares either but she does have a lovely Baby-G collection, I’ll add the link here. She also has a very nice “Johnny Cupcake” 6900 in mint condition that she never wears, I need to “borrow” it from her lol. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lduIldmppsewiqc.htmlsi=favP2DuIhgfpKXXr

@@desire68frogman98 I like my watches with solar and multiband: love that they are all in sync.

I tend to get a little OCD about them Syncing. I religiously check them every morning and it’s a result when they all receive the signal. Just recently, the Ft Collin’s tower was damaged by a storm. My MB6’s didn’t receive properly for weeks and it really bugged me. The tower must have been repaired as I now receive the signal daily again. Between that, and keeping the solar cells topped up, my watches really do keep me busy.

If I’m right, it’s a threaded bolt and bar setup so when tightened up the whole setup will rotate. To undo the bolts, you would use two Allan keys turning in opposite directions to each other.

@@Slim-Diesel congratulations on a fantastic Frogman. It really is a beautiful timepiece. As the weather is getting better, I start to wear Tiffany more often.

@@Slim-Diesel I find the tones from the buttons and the hourly chime to be quite loud if I’m honest. I never use the alarms though, I’m not one for alarms period.

Thanks. They certainly get noticed when I wear them, can’t hide with those colours.

While the Frogman isn’t extinct, they are becoming increasingly harder to find. Your best chance to find them are on the Asian sites of you want them brand new, or on eBay if you don’t mind them being used. Good luck 🐸👍🏾🐸

@@desire68frogman98 Brand new is the only option.

Same here, unless it’s a gift, I’ll never turn that down🐸🖤🐸

Thanks mate. This one is a lovely vintage Frogman. The yellow resin is gorgeous.

It’s a cool looking colour scheme. Enjoy in the very best of health 🙏🏾

I wouldn’t clean it with anything other than warm water and dish soap. That resin is old now and will not do well with cleaners and other materials that may harm it.

@@desire68frogman98 Cheers, will do. One thing I noticed with the DW 9900 is the inner circle dial shows minutes in an hour dial instead of seconds in a minute dial and I find that much nicer. Do any other Frogs show that instead of the usual seconds?

Hahahahah, thank you. I added my first analog Frogman since this video, it’s the GWF-A1000XC carbon Frogman, very nice addition.

Yeah, the Frogman is an appreciating model range, especially when they’re in good condition. Hang on to that one🐸🐸🐸

It is in very good condition, very little worn, gift from my dad, sentimental value.

Nice, definitely a keeper of that reason alone. 🙏🏾

No Jeff. I’m a digital Frogman diehard. It was the way G-Shock intended it to be. Having said that, this carbon Frogman is a little special. I wore it yesterday for Frog Friday and I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I don’t much care for many of the other A1000’s though.

@@desire68frogman98 That's what I thought. I just needed confirmation. Thanks.

@JeffreyMcMahon you’re most welcome Jeff. The D Series Frog is so well built, it’s probably my favourite Frogman construction.

It’s entirely up to you, my daughter doesn’t, but I do.

You are most welcome and thanks for your support 🙏🏾

Thanks for chiming in. The older frogman tend to be the smaller models for example the DW-82xx/DW99xx models are suited to a smaller wrist size.

This statement has so many questions. What model? How old? Bought new or used? Was it an original and not a fake? Was it ever opened for a battery replacement? I’ve never had an issue with the water resistance of any G-Shock and I have had over 100 of them over the last 28yrs including my original DW-002 model from 94.

This is the link to the proxy site where I purchased this frogman and others in my collection. www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/rakuten?GoogleEn&TOP&gclid=CjwKCAjwrIixBhBbEiwACEqDJcoJ- u0LKW3mgsqozbuFnZ-t0EWNymWcRkem-XSIVwFuPlggeVgg0xoCTRQQAvD_BwE From here you can register and start searching. Good luck with fj and let me know how you get on. Happy Frog Friday 🐸🐸🐸

Thanks Ted. The new series in Arizona would be absolutely amazing 🐸🐸🐸

Thanks mate👊🏾🐸👊🏾

You have indeed, happy Frog Friday mate🐸👊🏾🐸

Cheers🐸👊🏾🐸

No, it’s 42mm

Good question. Not the official answer but all I can think of is that they’re all JDM models, have a ISO rating and have that “elite status” among G-Shock enthusiasts. Us consumers do have a very big part to play in the marketing, following and pricing. I remember seeing and buying my first Frogman. It was the burning red 1000 series. Back in 2011 it could be had for around the $500USD mark. I was a little hard up and needed the cash so I sold that Frogman. A couple of years later when I was doing a lot better financially, I was able to buy it back, only now the price had literally tripled 😳 guess what, I paid it as I knew that the quality was worth it. I also own a couple of MRG’s, the prices for these top model G-Shocks is insane but I, like others pay the asking price. If seems that Casio know this “just like other large watch brands do” so they keep on pricing them as high as they do, knowing that consumers will pay the price. It’s a struggle to keep collecting in this present climate, but one thing’s for sure, I’ll never sell a frogman, MTG or MRG again. They’re too precious and way too hard to reclaim when the need arises.

I own a gw9000 and gw9300 mudman, the 9300 is jdm and was definitely more expensive because of it. The quality does seem to be very good and it is infact used. So I can definitely understand that, but to me the price of the frogman is way to much for what it offers. Many g shocks are already very hardy for what they endure. I also own a 9052 that I bought at wal mart for 50$ and It still works perfectly after taking it to the ocean, working with paint, working in construction etc. I work in mud and all that which is why I upgraded to a mudman. Well 2.

@doppeekidd I get you man, but at the end of the day, when the name “Frogman” is mentioned, it causes attention. It’s like a cult following, which helps jack up the price. Don’t get me wrong, the Frogman is an awesome watch, and I love them, but the hype is real with this model and I feel it always will be. Frogman are special G-Shocks, the collectors and consumers have caused them to become this way. Casio know this and capitalize on it. I still want the Japanese coastguard model and it’s wicked expensive, but if I had the $$$, I wouldn’t even think twice. Others might think that spending that amount on, what’s really another D Series Frogman in a different colour, is utter madness, while all I see is a wicked Frogman added to the frog pond🐸🐸🐸

@desire68frogman98 🤣🤣 I get it bro I guess the hype is real, I'm not rich by Any means but I love g shocks and have my eyes on a specific frogman , only problem is it's about 800$ and that's a bit too much for me. Maybe one day I can acquire it lol

Which model are you looking at man.

Hey Will, thanks man. I showcased the carbon frog a few weeks back, serious bit of kit🐸🐸🐸

@@desire68frogman98 yes sir, I saw it, love it

Cheers man👊🏾

Thanks man. Long time no see. Hope you’re doing well 🙏🏾

I’m sure they can but I haven’t seen anyone do that yet. What I have seen is a J’s and K’s conversion so that a nato strap can be used.

No depth gauge sensor on the analog frogs to be able to measure depth of water. For that measurement, you will need to move to a D Series Frogman.

@@desire68frogman98 What about compass?

Nope!

Oh dear

Oh dear..

Hahaha, hidden in plain sight 👀

@@desire68frogman98 I just sent you a Live and Breaking News update on the watch... They wrote back!

Just replied over there too. Great news bruv.

@@desire68frogman98 Thank you again mate...

Thanks for your kind words and support. Which Frogman did you go for?
