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

A little story you might find interesting.

A few months back I purchased the GPW1000T. It didn't take too long to mark up the titanium bezel a bit. While Casio may advertise the titanium as "hardened" it's still a bit soft when compared to steel.

So after a few significant dings I purchased the GPW1000V version of the bezel which looks identical but is made of steel. I replaced the titanium bezel with the steel, and while the watch weighs 4 grams more, the steel bezel can take a hard knock and not show it - at all. Now I have the best of both, titanium where if it gets dinged doesn't matter and steel where it does. A one of a kind watch. Definitely worth the $78 from pacparts. I can now wear it without worry.

How difficult was it to change out the bezel?

sorry, no pix yet, but I picked up a 1A two weeks ago, and couldn't stand it...I HAD to have the 4A and that cool orange band, so I got one of those too! I am a fanatic for accurate time (my job nor life depends on it, just a "thing" with me), and I have had a PAW-5000 for years. The GPW line seriously steps up the accurate time paradigm. And no more manually changing time zones....so very, very cool....and they are HUGE, which I really like........

the older the eyes, the bigger my watches have to get :)
