Item History & Price
Vintage CASIO DW-002BM G-Shock "Bob Marley Limited Edition" [As Is]
Casio has released quite a lot of Reggae and Rastafarian inspired watches. In 1995 they released the "Bob Marley" model. What would a Bob Marley model be, without the Rastafarian color. The ring around the dial is divided in three circles, from green (gold) to yellow to red. These colors symbolize the green vegetation and beauty of Jamaica, the wealth of Africa (gold) and the blood of the martyrs. These colors ...also come back in the loops around the strap. When the backlight is used, you will see a big cannabis leaf. This may be the most 420 friendly Casio ever made. The DW-002BM has a simple 1298 module. It has an Alarm function, a 24h Stopwatch and a 60 minutes Countdown Timer. Pretty basic, but this watch was released in 1995, quite some time ago for a digital watch.
So this is a pretty cool watch with soul, but it's missing one thing: the bezel! The original resin bezel fell apart due to "resin rot", which is the Achilles heel for all G-Shocks. However, this could be salvaged by dropping the module and faceplate into a DW-6900. I've seen several mods like this on WUS.
Please inspect all photos and review all written details before making purchasing action. I have adequately described all cosmetic and functional details to the best of my ability. The pictures are representative of the actual cosmetic condition of the watch. Due to the aforementioned bezel this watch is being sold as is.
