How can I get this G-shock Frogman?
Anyone know if there are any domestic retailers or know of any private sellers selling this model Froggie? Model GWF 1000BS-1. It's a JDM product but a number of Japanese retailers will ship to the US.
1) I'd prefer not to wait for it to get here from Japan, 2) If it's fake, I can't go over there and beat the living SH*T out of the seller, 3) I don't want to deal with customs/import tax or hassles.
Option 2 is to buy it from a retailer in Japan. Anyone know the reputable ones?
I've scoured watchuseek and haven't come up with any used ones. Leads appreciated!

White Rabbit Express. It's reputable. They go and get Japan-only items (they're based in Japan) for you and ship it over.

I haven't used it but I've heard nothing but good things. Yeah you gotta wait but at least you won't have to worry about it I think.
Past that I'm stumped. That thing looks way rad though.

If you can't find a dealer, see if you can just inquire about the item itself. There's probably a GShock flagship store that they'll hit up. I think their service works cause they deal with the stuff you can't necessarily get online (like candy and stuff).

I've seen that second link, Hani. Guess I should also mention that I don't want to get gouged on the price either
First one look promising assuming it isnt fake and shipping isn't astronomical.
And yes TCF, it's hella pricey for a G. But it's not even close to being the most expensive.
