I don't really know. That's why I'm making this thread in the first place.
I've been searching ebay for a legit DW6900 or DW5600 in white. Most preferrably the type of plastic white that the Bape G-Shocks come in.
That one isn't actually even white I guess. It looked rather translucent on some other pictures I've seen of that exact model/colour.

And I'm not really even sure if it's legit.
And I've gone through like 30 different watch retailers here in Finland and none of them have any good G-Shocks.
I was also thinking of this: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CASIO-G-SHOCK-S-KOOL-DW-56RTB-LIMITED-WHITE-WATCH_W0QQitemZ110086563249QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3138 7QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I was also thinking of maybe buying the Triple Crown of Surfing G-Shock. Has anyone seen that watch in person? Is it as big as DW6900?

But I would like the band to be plastic so that doesn't look so strong either.
Is there an online store that has such a huge selection of legit G-Shocks that they might have some good ones in white in stock?
or should I just be like "fuck it" and buy a bootleg bape g-shock for 25$. :(

Yeah, that's why I'm mainly looking for some other retailers. There apparently are ebay sellers with tons of positive feedback selling highly detailed fakes of G-Shocks since the bootleg watch industry is on a pretty advanced level nowadays I guess.
And DIAMONDxSTATUS do you know if it's possible to make international orders from that japanese site? They don't have the precious hearts collection on their European online store. And how much did you pay for it incl. shipping?
It sucks that the Finnish retailers don't carry many g-shocks. And I didn't find any proper ones on my stay in the Capital of Sweden either.

this is the one i have. I got if from ebay a store called joyful japan check it out. I paid 150 shipped and got it in under a week. 135 watch and 15 shipping. also here's a link to two ebay auctions for the one i have and the one you posted. As far as the japanese casio site im not sure, probably if you can translate through google or something.

That's a bit too far away from the color I've been looking for. Thanks anyway.

Since the G-Shocks seem to be unavailable in white colourway I'm thinking of maybe buying a Casio Poptone.

The pink makes it look a bit feminine though.

This new G-Shock Mini is exactly what I've been looking for. I hope it'll be available on the american ebay.

in case it won't appear in those auctions or on any western online store, what would be the best way to try to get that watch?
I guess someone living in Japan would have to buy it and ship it.

Patience is a virtue, just lurk around e-bay for a few days.

I've been doing that for like a few months now. And all I've found is the fape 6900's, some triple crown of surfing ones that cost like 150usd and the S-KOOL 5600's.
It sucks that the fape 6900's are all over the place and that watch is exactly what I'm looking for, just without the bape branding.

Disclosure: I'm the one selling it. I'll ship it to Finland from the US as well.
