The building of a liquid filled dive watch....

Post by T.R. » Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:21 am

Pretty cool read... awesome outcome. A buddy of mine had a G Shock filled by this guy. That, too, produced a hell of a sweet looking dial.

Crafty.

Enjoy:

Thanks for the link, Tom. I've been giving some serious thought about doing this to my GXW-56... :think:

Awesome. It's a great mod, especially if you can do it yourself and have a long battery life quartz movement. I would hate to have to change the battery every 2 years or so.

I've read that Christopher Ward hydro thread a while back, and that is really cool. Turned out great IMO.

Theres many good threads on GShock hydro mods but haven't seen a good pictorial of a GXW56 however.
There is a guy on WUS who has done his GXW56 hyrdo, looks pretty darn cool with the bubble.

Here's some posts on some hydro's.

Check out the dial on this liquid filled G. Sorry, not a big G guy.... don't know the model. However, this look makes me want to become a G guy. :fro:

The depth and clarity of the face of the watch is unreal.

Very cool thread - thanks for posting! :geek:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
