Wow... I'm not a fan of the sub at all, but that watch looks fantastic. I'm really digging the improvements. That black ceramic just looks amazing doesn't it?

AH! I just woke up and haven't had my coffee. Did you sell your BAPE for the Rollie purchase?
While I am a huge G-shock fan and nut, I haven't been following the trends much less the original works (never liked the collab pieces). So I can't even estimate how much the BAPE would be sold for (if sold). Congrats on the purchase, however!! :)

BAPE = Bathing Ape It's a design company that can be found here: http://us.bape.com/ Casio has loads of collaboration pieces of their G-Shock watches with various designers and celebrities (Spike Lee, etc...). G-Shocks have their own (and VERY zelous) sub-culture. I am a big fan, but not of the collaboration pieces so I wouldn't want to try and post a picture of his BAPE G-Shock because I am not sure what module he has or whether the original BAPE came in anything other than a 5600 (or maybe it's a 6900?). So, basically, it's a collaboration piece. Only changes are aesthetic and not from the watches functionality in it's self. Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for the congrats! It really means alot.
In regards to the BAPE G-Shock, i didnt sell it. I love that g-shock, a great piece. It probably does hold its value :)  Funny comment "zero to hero" ahhahahahhahah The ceramic is definitely a nice touch, very stunning. BAPE STORE LA is gone, i dont know what ill do now! |
