GF-8250CM-2JR Men in Camouflage series.
As a model that was also released on G-Shock Japan website, It was expected to be sold at all retailer all over Japan. However, compared with other model from the same Men In Camouflage series, this particular model, this FROGMAN was sold out right after it was released!. Crazy!. This is mainly because all retailers will accept an earlier pre-order to any customer upon request. Thus, making this model couldn't even get on the display case at all official G-Shock stores in Japan. That is how famous a Frogman model is comparing with Rangeman and Mudman that is still available in stores until today. (15/4/15)
I got mine from an earlier pre-order slot from an Official stores around Tokyo, Japan. luck is on my side this time. Eventhough this model was quickly sort after, it's market in the re-seller's market, the price haven't raise yet. So, if you are thinking of getting this model, better do it while you still can.
Moving on to the details of the design. In my opinion, it is most likely to look the same like the previous navy blue series which was the Navy Military model, GF-8250ER-2JR (left). This is the closest model that I could think of. Eventhough, by comparing side to side, we could see that the shades are also differ from one another which is still nice.
Focusing on this camouflage model again, The tint blue band and bezel with some words written on orange is pretty nice. I couldn't recall if we ever had an orange eye in a Frogman before. This is new.
The face is made with a normal positive display surrounded with solar panel which also being beautifully outlined with a shiny blue circle. This couldn't be found even on the ICERC model!
I also made an unboxing video for this model as shown below:
Here is the link to the video if guys cant view it from this site :
Looking at the band design, all the printed camouflaged pattern seems pretty edgy and random. Also as we are all aware of, this are not the latest design of current army camouflage which is The Digital design. But I gotta say, the printing technology that they use is really high quality one.
Now lets look at the main body. Everything was made with a stainless steel material. That is the buttons, screws, band keeper, buckle and also it's back plate. Everything has a glossy finish.
I do wonder why didn't Casio printed the camouflage design on this model's bezel as well like they did on other basic model. 100% inside and outside. But this model looks great the way it is already. No big deal. Here are some more picture randomly taken for this blog.
I think that will be all for now,
