Yes, there is a version of the GW-3000 that comes on bracelet: the GW-3000BD. What I'd suggest would be to contact Keith at tiktox.com and ask him to order for you the GW-3000BD's bracelet part.

Not been given any price. If it's too much, though, I simply won't buy. Some dealers in the EU were selling the BD version for about €300, so I suspect somewhere between £275 and £300 in the UK. Though it's a moot point at the moment, as Casio seem disinterested in actually getting it to the dealers right now.

Any1 have a part number to the GW3000BD metal watch band? If you have pictures of your GW3000B with a metal watch band, please post..would love to see some pictures of them. Is the metal watch band to the GW3000BD compatible to the GW3000B watch? Thanks!

Right now,1.00 GBP is 1.632 USD
The price of the bracelet shows why for example the GW 2500 BA1 and GW 25600 BDA1 are priced so differently (139 to 304 GBP) which is a huge price increase just for the steel bracelet - the watch has (except for coloring and negative display) the same features and body, yet the steel bracelet version costs more tahn twice the price...

One of G-Shock's weakest marketing mistakes is not to make changing their watch bands changeable.

The PAW-2000 can take 22mm straps and the AG3000 might take a 26mm strap.

Casio makes it almost impossible to purchase their bracelet for models that did come with the original product.

For example the GW3000BB is almost impossible to buy in the U.S. while the resin orange WW3000 is still around, but you cannot obtain the metal bracelet from Casio.<|

Hi Guys,

Don't understand what Casio is upto?? One cant find a GW3000M 4A (Orange band watch) for a reasonable price anywhere (All suggestions as to where I can find one welcome).

Try Amazon or eBay to look for bands...though I haven't had much luck myself. Will let you guys know if I find a reliable seller. Have written to Casio too...haven't heard from them :(

Would be delighted if any of you can find the Orange band and let me know where I can find it. My second option (if I don't find the GW3000M 4A watch at a reasonable price) is to buy a G1200D metal case & bracelet watch and replace original bracelet with an orange band :))

Damn you that's my plan! I have an orange band on the way from casiosalesandservice.com and will pick up a g1200 soon - there's an ebay seller in Sydney whose prices appear reasonable.

At least this way I'll have a steel bracelet when I want something a bit more formal.

PS - the orange painted bezel is available from tiktox in the UK as well.
