[CLOSED] Victorinox Soldier mod, Old Cross Pioneer w/o keyring, G-Shock

[jrp316]

It's long past time for me to pare down some of my collections and I'd like to offer the following items up for sale. CONUS USPS shipping included in the price; I'll have to see about international shipping since I'm a bit iffy on it.

First up is my Victorinox Soldier mod, made by tattoosteve99 for me a while back. While I quite like the knife, it hasn't been getting as much pocket time as of late and I've found myself relying on my CT34. It's a great knife, but turned out it just wasn't for me. It's in good to excellent condition in my opinion. The mod was created using a One Hand Sentinel non serrated blade and liner lock, a used Hercules for the pliers and short Phillips head, saw, openers and scales from a Soldier and a corkscrew to finish it off.

The single liner lock only locks the one-handed blade; the bottle opener does not lock due to the pliers sitting between the blade and openers layers and the single liner lock. This was part of the design to allow access to the pliers' nail nick. All in all, it's a great functioning knife with a fresh edge on the blade. If you've had one of Steve's mods, you know the quality of his work and this one is no exception. If you haven't had one of his mods, here's your shot. If I didn't know better, I would say this is a factory made model (and I think it should be). Priced at $100 to move.

Next up is an Old Cross Pioneer w/o keyring. It's in very good condition with minimal pocket wear. I've carried it maybe twice over the past few years, so it's time to get it to a new home. I *think* the liner is brass since it has a goldish contrast compared to the surrounding backsprings, but I wouldn't swear to it. For that, I'll price it accordingly at $60. Pics below.

Last up is a Casio G-Shock G-7500. It's a nice watch, but not quite for me. The watch itself is in good condition with some signs of wrist wear, mostly in the form of some minor scratches on the backplate. All the functions including the backlight work well. Priced at $40.

One more G-Shock that I neglected to list up earlier. This one's a DW-5025D 25th anniversary model G-Shock, modified from stock by a G-Shock expert on the WUS forums. His screenname there is kung-fusion, some of you who frequent that forum may recognize his name and/or his work. Priced at $110. The modifications are as follows:

- Bezel and band changed to that of a DW-5600E, black and white in color with a gold buckle from a DW-5600EG.
- LCD changed from the original chrome to a gold tinted LCD from a DW-5600EG.
- The gold ion plating on the caseback was removed due to its poor condition. The caseback was brought back to stainless steel and repolished. The buttons and bezel screws kept their gold plating.

Edit: link to WUS forum documenting this particular watch. The picture links are dead, however. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f17/dw-5025d-gold-mod-1105666.html

All in all, it's a very nice watch and the quality of workmanship on it is excellent. The gold tones of it don't suit me quite as well as I'd hoped when I bought it, so I think it's time to let it go. Pictures follow.
