Casio G-Shock 40th Anniversary Flare Red Mudmaster GWG-2040FR-1AJR

So, my 40th Anniversary Flare Red has just arrived, a departure for me as I usually would have gone for the MTG. However, in my opinion (and it would appear the opinion of the masses given it was sold out almost immediately) the luminous forged carbon fibre case - in addition to the bezel - made the watch the obvious choice.My choice was immediately ratified as soon as I laid eyes on, this really is a special looking piece. One slight disappointment was that I thought the watch had Bluetooth connectivity, that appears not to be the case - but I may have missed it.Once the watch was set up, as an absolute saddo, I went upstairs, closed my blackout blind, switched on my black light torch and - just wow. The bezel lume, dial lume, and case lume really are spectacular ... MoreSo, my 40th Anniversary Flare Red has just arrived, a departure for me as I usually would have gone for the MTG.

The bezel lume, dial lume, and case lume really are spectacular and worth every penny of the purchase price.I appreciate that things are difficult for people in the current crisis, and this is not an inexpensive G Shock. However, if you can find the pennies, it does come back into stock and you are thinking about buying - do not think for too long, take the plunge.You absolutely will not regret it……….

Eye catching G-Shock for Collectors, but don't expect to much from the lumen in the darkness, as it will not match the GWG-1000.

This would hands down be my favourite watch if it wasn't flawed. The Mode hand (Xmas tree design) is out of alignment and so every time you look at the watch you see it not quite pointing to 12! There is no function to adjust the mode hand alignment on the watch (only the time hands).
