Great deal on metal Casioak, you can also get aftermarket bracelet kit to convert it into $700 Gmb2100 casioak though the watch is beautiful as it is and is my daily since last few weeks
CamelCamelCamel.
Says $349 now. Either way I'd recommend getting a solar one with Bluetooth and a positive display and different colour indicies and arms, silver on silver doesn't look easy to read (GA-B2100, I've got the yellow one).
Under $190

PS. You can get metal kits for the case too I thought, but I don't mind the idea of these. I'd leave it in black rubber strap to break up the colours and save weight though, it will never be an AP ha.
I was considering a second-hand one and replacing the case but looking on FB and Cash Converters, they're charging just as much as a new one on sale.
Do the earth tone casioaks (GA2110ET) still go on sale these days? Been waiting for the grey (GA2110ET-8A) to go down, but lowest I can find is $199, which is a bit too large of a jump over the base model colourways
$133

Tictacarea is great import but totally fine (I ordered something there yesterday).
👍
Damn, my wallet is crying at this, thanks
May I ask which store your ebay link points to? I'm getting 404'd
Looks like it sold or not available. Just grab it from tictacarea, can't go wrong and cheap!
Not sure how they can justify this price in this day and age for an analog watch.
To anyone heading to Japan soon I was able to pick up the metal Casioak (https://amzn.asia/d/0gAfeQGN) for~$450 aud.
Best bargain of my life.
That is a great price. They have been on sale for aus stock for about $650 but $450 is a bargain (and tbh, what it should be sold for)
Yeah I dont mind the metal square in silver, no way I'd pay 650-800 or whatever they are.
You can see in my image below that the silver metal square is ~$550 in Japan.
Can probably find it cheaper if you look around.
@mg_k: Ah nice. A mate is in Japan, but not coming back this way. I think it may be a bit big on 6.5 in wrist anyway but Under 450 be ok. I think the GMWB5000.
@G-rig: The sqaure feels and looks quite a bit smaller than the Casioak. I have both and the squre is fast becoming my fav…
What you should be more concern about is the weight increase…
@mg_k: Yes it would be, both nice and thin in the normal models and as big as I want. The metal on bracelets do sit out a bit more .
Yeah no doubt, be pretty heavy and you would want to throw it around or drop/knock it (defeats the purpose haha). They look cool though.
Which shop did you go to?
I bought it from one of the Joshin store in Osaka about 2 months ago.
Think I got lucky thou as it was 40% off at the time - https://imgur.com/a/Vwu6XUN
46800 yen is actually $430 AUD at today's rate - BARGAIN!
Wonder what the difference is between the metal Casioak and the G Steel GSTB500BD.
According to a bunch of posts, most people here are on over $200K, so this one shouldn't be a problem.
