  • Pretty easy to do, you may need to get a screwdriver and lightly pry it up from the bottom of the watch. Just go slow and itll work.
    You can find the band on amazon.

    Took me almost an hour to fiddle with the screws. I had two small flat screw drivers but the torque won't let me unscrew it. Luckily, one of my multitools has a small flat head and I used that as a leverage to remove both the shaft and the shorter screw. Thank you!

    Thanks for taking the time to document this repair. It was exactly what I needed to understand the double-headed screw and get my GW-500A off the shelf and back into use. Cheers!

    An update from my first comment 18 hours ago. I initially commented prior to removing the screws because I knew you had the solution for removing them. When I started, I found that I could only get so far (not very far :) so I put some thin machine oil on top of the screw heads and wedged a pointy toothpick nest to the screw head to make a tiny opening for the oil to penetrate.
    Then i waited until this morning and was able to remove them. What surprised me was the amount of dirt that had accumulated on the screws and the tiny threads.
    Thanks again for the solution to what would have been a frustrating project for me.

    Great tutorial, very detailed. I just ordered the band, I really wish they would just make it a kit and include the screws as well since the stock on them isn't always matching. You might have the band in stock but no screws. I personally believe it's a good idea, since it's cheap enough, to replace the screws anyway. My GW-500A has been with me for 7 years and 2 wars so it has served me well.

    I suspected this was how it was done, but my old watch screws were STUCK! I ended up cutting off the old band and used pliers to grip one end of the screw to improve leverage. Took way too long but I’m back!

      I've been looking for one, too. Compared to every other G-Shock, it seems like the lugs on this one are reversed. I haven't been able to find anyone who makes an adapter for this special snowflake watch. Frustrating!!

    A bit of advice you can just use a small flathead and push the screw threw and the strap comes undone hope it helps instead of unscrewing it

      Thanks to both of you. I used a combination of pushing the screw part way through so I could get pliers on one end and then unscrew it. I was about to throw my new strap out because I just could not get the screws to loosen. Much appreciated.

    @cloudcity2012 8 лет назад

    I have this one and am about return the blue metal one with a negative face that sells for 216 on amazon , the all black one sells for 250 on amazon, but the best one is the one in this video, on black friday it was only 40 bucks on amazon. It is the best watch IMO, because of the looks alone. the red G fades to full silver. the screens do need to be cleaned alot, and mine used to fog up or condense in the cold , but not anymore, i think it reached some sort of equilibrium with the air, it was probably more of a humidity thing.
