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.

Actually I bought the strap long before I bought the GWG2000 and the strap was in a box as I couldn't find a matching watch.... Till GWG2000.

It is amazing that even the yellow accents seemed to match and the overall look is not screaming-in-your-face for attention.

Where did you get the lug adapters? How does it look on the wrist?

Jay and Kay...same as the others a page or two back. I got the 22mm because the EO strap is 23mm and most others I have that I thought might work are 22.
I actually took them off already. I think I prefer the original strap fit and look.
They are made so well but not for me.

Anyone else find the plastic and carbon bumper guards on GWG-2000 easy to scratch? No that I really care, but they are more fragile compares to the resin bezel on GWG-1000.

Still haven't tried out the GWG-2k, but you hit the nail on the head as to my primary reason why. Replacing a GWG-1k bezel costs about $12, while the four little pressed carbon bezel guards at 12-3-6-9 o'clock on the GWG-2000 cost about $185(!!!) combined to replace.

From what I have read here and elsewhere, the GWG-2k is the Mudmaster to get if you usually dress business casual and aren't too rough on your watches, while the GWG-1k is the Mudmaster to get for "Hulk, SMASH!" duty. I've been tempted by crazy deals on the TLC, but am probably going to give it a while before trying any GWG-2k to hopefully see how they hold up after a few years of hard use.

I got a couple light scratches on the plastic bumper at 9 o'clock and the carbon bumper at 6 o'clock from casual wearing. Not too visible though due to the pattern of the carbon.
The 2 carbon bumpers at 12 and 6 o'clock cost more than $200. 🙂
The bumper at 9 and 3 o'clock are hard plastics.

Depends on which model you buy for and who you buy from, but no matter what it's going to cost a heck of a lot more than a GWG-1k bezel. Here's what PacParts is asking for GWG-2000-1A3 replacements at the time of this posting. Comes up to $185.16 + S&H, assuming you can reuse your "decorative piece, bezel inner" plastic bits.

Ah, they have lowered the price. My screenshot was from Pacparts a while back.

Still ridiculously expensive. No way it should be that much.

Yup, that was disappointing to learn. I don't baby mine and pretty much use it as intended. I wear it almost daily to hike and climb, and also when I exercise. If I am not wearing it, it sits at the bottom of my hiking bag banging around. It has taken a lot of bumps and still looks new. For me, I'm perfectly fine with wear and enjoy it on watches that are meant to be beaten and thrown around, but yeah, I like having a $12 dollar bezel swap option as opposed to almost $200 just in case.

What watch would Buddha wear?

Why, a Maharishi model MM GWG-1000, of course.

Still my favorite GWG1K colorway, with the Wildlife Promising a close second.
None of the 2K versions so far have really grabbed me, but I'm sure there will be more in the near future.
