If you look closely one of the guys in the dogtown Z boys documentary wears the watch. You only see it for a second but the graphics on the band are clear. Regards, Angus That is a great G.

I love the background of these G's. This model is from the Silver Collection, a.k.a Silver Metallic series. Indeed there was a Eric Haze model. The other two models were the DJ Spooky model and the Eric Koston model. I have the DJ Spooky model myself, which is a DW-003 model, with the same mirror face as your DW-9000M. Your model is the DW-9000M-8T model, mine the DW-003M-8T. The other two are the AW-510M-8AT and the DWM-100M-8T. <img src="http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/amenity/img1023100909.gif" /> I very much enjoyed the link you provided to the Dogtown history. I remember reading magazines in the late 70's with pictures of skateboarders skating in enormous concrete pipes without protection. I guess you can imagine most of them were pretty bloody, because some of them came down head first from a height of 15ft or higher. That's a great picture of yourself. I hope you never got badly wounded by your hobby. BTW, there is a nice link in the history of skateboard wheels and G-Shock bezels. They are both made with poly-urethane. All the best, Sjors Hi Pete,

Regards Tempus F Hey Pete,

Now that you’re not as young as in the picture are you feeling any of those off-the-roof wipeouts?
