I was so happy when a senior gave me a G-Shock as a gift.
MY G-SHOCK" is a dreamlike customization service that allows you to create a G-SHOCK in the coloring of your choice, based on the DWE-5610, a standard model in the lineage of the brand's first model, the DW-5000C released in 1983. The service allows customers to create their own original G-Shock by coloring the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle to their own liking.
When I was still in elementary school, my older brother was begging my parents for a G-Shock, and I remember taking advantage of the situation and getting one for him. My brother wanted a dolphin/whale model, and I wanted the same thing, but they said, 'You're just taking advantage of the situation, so why don't you get this one?
So says FACE, an artist. He continued, "Later, when I grew up, I never lost my admiration for G-Shock.
One of my seniors was wearing an original AW-500, and when he saw it, he asked me to give it to him. I was originally working for a certain street brand, and when I quit that job, he gave me the G-Shock as a gift, and I remember how happy I was. I still have that watch in a safe place.
Both the dolphin/whale model that Mr. Face wanted and the AW-500, which was a gift from a senior colleague, are attractive items with a solid and solid design that is typical of G-SHOCK. However, when it comes to actually wearing the watches himself, FACE says, "I prefer simple watches.
When I thought about it calmly, I realized that I am not that big and that a watch that actually looks good on me would be a watch that is not so bulky... (smiles). (Laughs) So I was also interested in the 5600 model, which is called the "Speed Model. That's why I was really happy to hear that "MY G-SHOCK" could create such a watch. I want to make a cool watch!
