A place to show off the new carbon core mudmaster gwg2000, originally I was in the " I'll pass camp " but then a few videos on YouTube later and kaboom ordered on sunday through amazon using a Japanese market dealer & it arrived today.

Immediate thoughts are

More comfortable on the wrist.
Better strap construction.
To my eye it seems like larger font size in display slot.
Sapphire glass always seems way better to me then hardplex imho
Seems like a cleaner dial layout.

OK, gotta ask, who's EO/MN? Thanks!

BTW, kinda surprised that, with all the emphasis on Forged Carbon, Casio neglected to use carbon fiber in the GWG-2K straps as they have on other watches including some 9400s. Woulda given them an excuse to print "Carbon" one more time...😛

That’s one of my bugbears over the years. 9400 has cf straps, 9300 mudman does, why no cf for the Maharishi or desert camo at least on the 1k. The DC on the 9400 is! Then again with the 2k, admittedly a more softer comfortable strap(variable of course ), but no cf again🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks again entropy1049, though every time you answer a question I end up spending more money...😁

I also have a 9400. I hate to state the obvious here, but if able, just get both 😊. Fantastic watches, different enough to warrant the purchase of both. View attachment 16674781

Great watches though I can't help but think the Mudman and Rangeman look like they forgot leg day on those NATO straps.

The 2K is definitely cool but the Master in Desert Camouflage GWG 1000dc-1a5jf still rocks after so many years ! A beauty

Put the TLC on a Haverston strap (P42 frog skin) with the Jaysandkays adapters. A tip of the hat to entropy1049 for introducing me to these handy items. Watch weight drops 2 grams.

Also tried a Swiss Watch Company nylon/velcro strap. (The gray one. swcusa.com, though stocks are low right now.) Good points: cheap, comfy, infinitely adjustable. Cuts weight to 96 grams(!) Not so good; watch rests directly on wrist, and this ain't no cushion case. So went back to the camo. Which I like better anyway, just for the look.

I've tried the TLC version and it's gorgeous. I don't like the writing on the strap though, a really deal breaker for me. Now still can't decide which to get, 1A3 or 1A5. Is there a polling on this? I would like to know the vote.

Also, is the 1A5 yellow a good yellow? Or is it more sand, mustard, or something else? A great camo color or a ridiculous yellowish color? The color composition imho is better than 1A3, but I like the green strap more (oh how I wish a more balanced red-yellow-green composition on that one).

The strap on the 1A5 is a tan color, you could even call it khaki. I like it a lot, and like you I'm no fan of yellow. The 1A5 "surround" is bright yellow, but you don't see too much of it. Only problem is, the 1A5 is already out of production so little chance of finding a bargain. You could wait for Casio to make a camo 2K as they did with the 1K.

I also have the same problem when I want to buy the 2K, couldn't decide between 1A3 or 1A5. Then I finally bought the 1A5 because I heard a rumor that 1A5 will be discontinued.

But after a while I realize that I really like the stainless steel bezel with a natural color, and also the green strap.
So have to buy some additional bezel and the green strap.

That was my reasoning as well (the limited/discontinued status and also A5's design is more...balanced?) but now I'm leaning more towards the A3. Maybe wait until new release now that A5 is discontinued? Ugh.

Anyway, where did you buy your A5, mate?

EDIT: anyone know the kind of stainless steel used in GWG-2000? 316L or other kind?

I like the 1A3, but in my opinion 1A3 has to much color, white, red, bright yellow, green, black, grey (steel).

We have a lot of 1A5 stock here in Indonesia, and with the same price as 1a3/1a1 😀

About the steel material, I dont have any clue...

If the price was close, would you take the GWG-2000TLC-1AER over the GWG-2000-1A1ER?
