That's Sakura's lazy way of saying they ain't getting it back in stock, lol.

Yep but doesn't look like they ever had it in stock. They also seem to have no desire to remove the 'Send Request' option, which will only annoy the hopeful who aren't aware they're going nowhere fast with that option.

EDIT - just looked at Sakura site.....kept calling it 'Send Request' which is the next step......the status I meant to refer to was 'Pre-order'

Yeah, I realized over the years that Sakura's not an actual shop. They are a middleman between a bunch of Japan-based retailers and customers. So sometimes they are "hopeful" they will acquire a piece but won't be able to. Ultimately I forgive them though because their prices are often very competitive.

Lemme just say - no plans to get a GWG-2000 at this time. BUT if I were going to, it would be the SAND color, no doubt! They all look good, but that one is my favorite of all the colors so far.

Congrats to those who've picked up one or more of them!

Would love to see another Maharishi collab with the new GWG-2000.

Maybe collab with Toyota land cruiser or what would be truly badass would be Land Rover Camel racing from back in the damn day before they turned that amazing 4 wheel life challenging event into some kayak / rollerskating event.... casio if you want my dirty hard worked for cash then make the Camel Trophy Land Rover collab ... although one could argue that would basically be the tan 2k lol


What is everyone's dream collab with casio ....

You mentioned that quite some time ago and I've been curious ever since. I found the new Mudmaster below my (maybe too high) expectations. I liked the design of the Mudmaster and I almost got a Maharishi and a GWG1000a which are my favorites from the line. At end end, I didn't get any.

The updated display of the 2000 is a great addition and I liked the new design as well even if I was disappointed with the lack of new features.

I enjoy seeing the pics but none of the 3 colors really give me the "I need this in my collection" feeling.

If they ever make a Maharishi style of the 2000, they can grab my money already.

Do you have any more details of the Toyota colab?

What's the bezel colour? What about the band?
Where are the blue tones? Hopefully we'll find out soon.

Any idea of the numerals will be white (1a3 like) or grayed (1a1 like)?

Very intriguing. Black, Blue and red all together is a big hit or miss for me. I'll keep an eye on it.
Given the Maharishi success it would be a shame not to do something very similar, calling it Maharishi or not.

Maybe they'll make it as a limited edition with a carbon bezel, combi band and ask double the price...I'm sure it would sell pretty quick.

Yes for sure it will sell quick I don’t remember much but I think the bezel is carbon

I've been very keen on the sand 2000 since I first saw the 3 new models released. Sakura Watches had by far the best price I've seen and I put in a 'Send Request' thing where you give your email and they notify you when in stock. That was around October 8 or 10. I read somewhere about Oct 15 release date, so I kept regularly checking their site from that day onwards; I'm talking multiple refreshes a day. Never saw any change in status of the sand watch (always just 'pre-order'), while the other 2 were in stock, then out, then back in.

I emailed them about a week ago and they said they don't have it, aren't getting it and it's discontinued. I asked if he was sure we're talking about same watch - how could it be discontinued 12 days after official release date. I think he may have his terminology or status mixed up but he was insistent they aren't getting any of the sand model. I didn't want to take any chances that he was mixed up, so went elsewhere, paid a bit more on eBay but will be getting it in a few days (currently in transit).

I got my GWG-2000 from Sakura (-31%),

Bought on: 10/22/2021
Shipped from Japan: 10/27/2021
Delivered at home: 10/29/2021
1A1 and 1A3. are in stock, at Sakura, at the same price. 1A5 shows pre-order (out of stock?).

Since I wanted the 1A3, i bought it.

Good stuff, great price. Def the go-to place for guys that like the A1 or A3, but the A5 has never been in stock and the pre-order icon on their site is a false flag. They’re not getting any, according to what they told me.

 

[Time4Playnow]

The site shoppinginjapan.net has all 3 GWG-2000 versions, but the sand color is $180+ more than the other two!! I suspect that's just due to demand. From what I've seen, that site looks to make a quick buck where they can, whenever a particular model is high in demand.

Just landed. Love the watch but slightly annoyed I didn’t get the fancy Master of G packaging. Just got one of those basic boxes you get with the $150 G’s. Not sure if the eBay seller (from Japan) short-changed me or whether that’s normal in certain situations.

Any thoughts on whether I need to follow up with the seller? Don’t want to get too bogged down on a smaller issue but if I’m entitled to it why not?

Congrats I see you are in the USA dis you have to pay custom or duty fees? Did you get the Japanese model 1A3JF ? What difference with American model if any ? Also is packaging different ?

I've seen these discussions about taxes, VAT, etc.

I've never had to pay any taxes, neither collected by the seller (which makes sense, of course) nor at the port of entrance. I've only paid shipping, when applicable:
