There is a point as a watch collector that sets you apart from the masses of people that just like watches. The Casio G-Shock is one such timepiece.

You either like chunky multi-functional plastic on your wrist or you don’t! Lower end watches are fine, all of us have them, and they have their place. But if you are going to collect G-Shocks, go for the rare models that are harder to come by.

The 30th Anniversary Baselworld Limited Edition G-Shock is a great place to start. It has a shimmer to it that almost looks like metal. This watch was given out exclusively to dealers who visited the Casio booth at the Basel watch show. It came in a special box set with a commemorative coin marking the celebration.
