This is the official GPW B E A S T THREAD OF AWESOMENESS the only purpose of which is the glorification, showing off, celebration and general awesomisation of our BEASTs....

If you have a GPW. If you are skydiving with it from a Space Capsule. If you are driving 300kph on a race track in a Bugatti Veyron Spider. If you are piloting a WW I fighterplane. If you are eating a XL doublecheesegoldencrust megapizza with pineapples and barbecuesauce all by yourself. If you are doing anything remotely awesome while wearing your BEAST - we want to know. We want to SEE it. So far these incredible devices have been shown in their cozy little boxes, on their pillow surrounded by dark leather and golden writing.

This ends NOW! And this here is the place to show off your heroic deeds! GO! :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart:rodekaart

So many awesome photos but Im confused:

Can anyone please tell me which is the blackest stealthiest version?

Also is the RAF version a dark blue?

Many thanks
No, the RAF version is a dark grey color. You will see many photos of that model in this thread and the forum in general.

"wafer-thin sir" (remember the monty python/faulty towers scene with the guy that explodes ?) LOL

But , just to make my point a bit more softly, I do live in Europe, I have no problems here, in fact I feel more relaxed than in California. But the Food here is either too small, or "plastic"-tasting (germany), and the Pizza I grew up with while in University is still in my deep memories.....

Love the GPW. Maybe it's just me - but I'm thinking those adapters would look SO much better if they were black! ;-)

Hi, nice watch, I was wondering where did you purchase the composite bracelet for your gpw 1000, and what screw do you use to remove and install them.

Thanks.
The composite strap is "standard" to this model.

If you are referring to the gray strap- it's actually nylon and can be sourced using the key words, "Zulu strap" on Amazon or Google search...

The screws can be removed with two "allen wrench"...

and tacticals.
The wife took silent note of my relatively recent obsession with G Shocks, and gave me a bit of shock today - with the 2A (to mark our 7th Anniversary). My first Casio ever (let alone Gs).

Piowa: hope this makes me eligible to be part of the family. Thanks for the flawless housekeeping [emoji4]
