new Dee & Ricky sold out in Japan, trickling out soon?

[CGSshorty]

I was in my local Macy's yesterday and they had a nice display of Gs but none of these (on display anyway). It is not far from my house so I will keep checking in. I think they are hideous so if I manage to snag one I will pass it along to someone here who really wants it and won't just stick it on ebay.

Same here - there's a Macy's down the road from the house. Plus I'll be in Columbus this weekend. if we make it out, I will check there as well. I have no intentions of buying one to wear. White just ain't my thang.

The stores around my part of CT are only getting one per store...tough

[craniotes]

That's great, guys. I'm pretty bummed that I wasn't able to grab a bunch, since I was looking forward to being able to spread the joy around DWC like I did with the previous version. Likewise, I plan on hitting up the local Macy's in CT this weekend to see if they have any (doubtful, but hey, you never know).

Also, I agree that white is a tough color to pull off, not only because it's a bit ghey, but also because they chose a matte finish, which will eventually get dirty and permanently discolor if worn frequently (glossy finishes are far easier to maintain, but I hate how they look). Whereas I wear my original Dee and Ricky quite often, this one won't see a whole lot of wrist time.

PS - I will say, however, that it's quite eye-popping in real life. My guy downstairs was sporting one last night, and while he's with me in vastly preferring the original, this sucker does work a whole lot better in person than it does in photos.

[dshap]

It's ugly as shit, but a good investment. I'm not going to try to get one though, the frenzy is too ridiculous.

My favorite... sorry, stock photo... pic's I've taken aren't in my PB account.




I also have this but it's ok. Got it more for the support.

[andrema]

If you look on eBay, they are going for $300+ . . . nuts

I'll grant you this, that first one is pretty cool looking. Maybe it's all the colors on the D&R2.

[dshap]

The Nigel Sylvester is SO much nicer than a D&R, and it's on my hit list (Luke, you have good taste in G's bro ).

Adam is right about how it looks in person, it is definitely a lot less "in your face" than you would think!

[jimyritz]

None at the Boston store...I prefer the original...

[craniotes]

As an aside, Luke, I will say that it was a bit funny to have the both of us on the sales floor, waiting anxiously for a manager to get your plastic, $130 made-in-China "Jesus" watch, yet we're rocking a 372 and a DSSD, respectively.

Just an observation.

PS - The Nigel is definitely cool (not too sure how I feel about the "1987" reference, though, which is an homage to the year the dude was born; i.e. we're old), but the Krink remains my absolute favorite.

I really like the Krink. Is it possible to find one these days?

Crazy, right?!?!?!

BTW, you hardly notice the 1987 on the strap.

Yeah, the Krink is cool too. I wore it often until I got the Sylvester.




BTW... a far cry from the last D&R release!

Tell me about it...

PS - Ben, the Krinks are pretty much sold out (apparently we have one overlooked one left here, which I'm attempting to claim for Barry), but they can still be found for under $200 on the secondary market. Don't know how long that's going to be the case, though.

What do they retail at?

I don't remember. It was either $90 or $100.

One Macys Down...one to go

[craniotes]

Finally...



I've never seen anything like this before. I mean, the sales associates are actually afraid to walk around with the boxes exposed (they have to be bagged). The watches are locked up, there's a list and if your name ain't on it, you don't get one.

Heads up, casio.com has opened up sales for D&R 2.
It will sell fast. Good luck.

cheers,
Dave

Edit: all good, Im all sorted, hopefully have one incoming soon.

[mbakes]

I just ordered one of these and do not have any idea why.

[andrema]

Woot, Woot!!





Only 2 in northern CT

One for me and one for a buddy!

[sfglenrock]

I don't get it.

[ezcheese]

This is just nuts!

[sharkfin]

Yup, just got my cancellation email from Casio.com.
CASIO.COM can definitely suck it!!!

I'm putting an self imposing ban on gshocks for myself.

At least for the rest of the year.
