Definitely, in my humble opinion, the best looking Frog ever...it’s the proportions, the shape, the blacked-out case wording & the overall stealthy look. The display is killer & that illumination is just fantastic! Casio nailed it with this one, if they could make it now with the modern tech it would be perfect. Great example you have there & I wish it a long & happy life in the pond! Thanks for sharing Mike!
You know, everything thing you mentioned here is what attracted me to this one in the first place. I even have spare resin for it. In my saved IG pics folder, I actually have a modded GWF1000 series that was built to look like the “Black Knight”. If you’re on FB, send me a DM and I’ll share it with you, it’s a great mod, you will love it.
It’s awesome and I see them come up for sale periodically. Look to spend around the $600-$700 mark for one in mint condition with box, tag and possibly spare resin.
What an eye-catcher, Michael! The condition of that 20 year old Frogman is pristine, which is no surprise given the owner! It gives the term NIB new meaning! My search for the perfect Frogman continues, thanks to your expert recommendations. Great video, my friend. Thank you!
Thanks Ted, I’m happy that you find this helpful, it’s what I intended when I started the channel. I hope to assist you in acquiring your first frogman some day soon😉
Michael just bought a blue Orient Triton but your frogman vids are making me want to buy a Gshock lol 😂. Outstanding video on this awesome watch . I actually like the color scheme of the one your wearing at the beginning of the video as to the one your reviewing but I know it’s an ultimate Gshock to say the least. I have been checking out a Rangeman Gshock which is in my budget for now . Thanks Michael for sharing my friend 👍🏻
Joseph Pyburn thanks brother, glad you like the vid and the Frog. Keep searching as prices can be all over the place. Also, if the Frog is where your heart is, nothing else will do😉
I’m sorry if I’m late for the party, but without mud resist would that make it worse than newer models? Or does it’s iso rating and construction supersede “mud resist” I’m asking because I will probably see for mud than water, just want to make sure this one won’t be susceptible to mud and sand
Seeing as all Frogman are ISO rated I would say that as a rating, it trumps any mud resist. If it’s water resistant, then there isn’t much chance of mud or sand getting in either as long as it hasn’t been opened, or if it’s been opened, it needs to have been resealed and tested and had the ISO rating renewed.
Congrats on capturing this fantastic piece. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the auto illumination feature. The module is quite basic but it’s the complete package that makes this one “perfect”
@@nickmondek9223 Hahahah, check back with me in a couple of months and see if you still feel the same. G-Shocks are like candy to kids, ya can’t have “just one”😉
@@desire68frogman98 yes you are probably right haha. But for now she's the queen. Long live...(also I tweeked her by putting it on a borealis isofraneish band and replaced the bezel push button rivet with black steel ones from the 1000. )

BEST OF THE BEST
real black 🖤
Killa frogman for real, “Real Black”
My god that's one gorgeous frogman ,gotta get it

I managed to dig up a dw 8200 in mint condition. The regular black with red letters, exactly the one I want. Cannot wait to arrive.
Nice you will love it. Funnily enough, I was wearing this BK all day yesterday, check my Instagram for a pic.
Beautiful. How long does the battery usually last? Great review
Thank you. I would say that I change it roughly once every 3 years or so. It’s a fantastic frog and definitely a collection keeper.
Another great video my friend.
Dirk Werning cheers brother.

Desire 68 hey Michael I did see a few Frogman Gshock on Amazon between $400-$500 👍🏻
Joseph Pyburn yeah, I guess they are still up there in price then.
Desire 68 Michael that’s actually a good price others were like between $800-$900 .
Joseph Pyburn are you looking at any specific model?

Fantastic review. Just picked my own up today. Question..does this model have the auto light feature where it illuminates by angling your wrist?

Thanks for the prompt reply. It just might be the quintessential g-shock piece. The search could be over....
