Do the JDM versions, the ones with -JF code, also have "Casio Thailand" written on the band and "Cased in Thailand" on the back case?

Yep, the two I bought from Sakura Watches (in Tokyo) are Thai cased and so marked. But that's only a theoretical bummer - watch quality is first-rate.

Congrats, xbrhmz. Cool location. Where is it?

Do you guys think casio will release a new color for the gwg2000 this year?

Hmm, they may wait for the G-Shock 40th, next year. It'd be cool to see Team Tough on the dial of a Mudmaster.
OTOH, there has to be, at some point, a red and gold version for the China market. Perhaps bright red strap, "bumpers" and second hand; gold bezel, buttons and christmas tree. Or a collab, maybe with Porter? I'd like a green camo. And since the covers at 3 and 9 seem to be resin rather than carbon fiber, they could be made in different colors or with patterns. My wallet is already cringing...

Gotta say, the lume on my GWG-2Ks is impressive - better than I recall the GWG-1K being. Definitely gotta get the 2040.

Finally liberated my GWG-2040 from DHL, and, Wow. If you buy one of these, you must also budget for a UV light. This is not optional. Only UV will reveal all that this watch has to offer in the way of visual thrills. You won't truly appreciate it without UV. (Or, if you consider the 2040 an exercise in unrestrained bad taste, you won't be properly appalled.) I fear I won't wear it often, for fear of damaging the surfaces including the metal keeper. Still, I'm stoked.

Fav. colorway, probably the A5 with green strap replacing the original tan (far left.) But most worn is the stealthy A1 (top) which I put on an Uncle Seiko (now Uncle Straps) rubber. So comfortable.

I must say, as a new member of the club I find the strap fairly uncomfortable. The rubber is much stiffer than I expected. Which strap did you go with from Uncle Straps?

Went with the GL831 oxidized, currently on sale at US for $29. Nice and flexible, and the subdued finish continues the stealth theme. Of course this also required the Jaysandkays adapters, found on Ebay for $15+shipping and tax. Winds up a bit heavier than stock, but well worth it in terms of wearability.

I find the watch to be very uncomfortable. So much so that I never wear it. Within minutes of putting it on my wrist feels a bit sore and I can't wait to rip the watch off. The stupid 'wings' dig into my wrist bone.

Can see this happening, especially if you have a broad, flat wrist. At least the "wings" on the 2K have more "give," more flexibility compared to the 1K. While I'm tempted to suggest the Jaysandkays adapters, which allow for the use of NATOs and other straps, the adapter ends also extend below the plane of the caseback. The ends are farther apart than the stock pieces but inflexible. Also possibly more expensive to get in the UK. I do wish Casio would upgrade the resin bands, especially on more expensive pieces like the GWG muddies. Good luck.
