Depends... If you were to sell me a Damascus Pioneer for €10 then I'd say it was worth it :D

I do, occasionally, think about selling some stuff but, for the money, I do not know if it will be worth the hassle
Some g-shocks really worth, because if you manage to buy thems at a low price, some, double you the investment our even more!
A lot people only see thems has plastic watches, but a collector like me for example, sees a very different thing!

Yeah, I bought another watch.......been wanting an issue G10 for a while and the mechanical models are outta sight (I'll get my sub fixed if I was a $400-$600 mech watch). This is a battery hatch model which what I wanted. And it was affordable.

Hey thanks Smashie!!!!!  I've read thery're are good watches but don't get 'em too wet.  I really haven't bonded with that Wenger I bought.....  Loved it at first but every time I looked at it there was a split sec of horror that it had stopped working.   :facepalm: Oh and that I couldn't swap out the battery.  :-\

I will eventually get my Sub repaired but was looking for something analog, really simple with a replaceable battery... a great rep and the fact it was Brit heritage didn't hurt it at all!  8) 8) 8)

They're pretty tough, the same watch was also issued to the rest of the British forces and they can and did take a beating. The seals in the watch can be replaced by a competant watchmaker and it'll be ok. I wouldn't go diving in it, but mine took a load of abuse  :salute:

I really appreciate the info. I've read some on them but value your opinion on it more!   :salute: :salute:  :cheers:  I looked at the MWC's but finding a nice original at about 1/3 of the price made me much happier!  :D

Anybody know where I can get a spare hatch gasket or two?  :tu:

I have been buying a few Casio watches in the last couple months. Apparently, the Casio bug bit me  :oops: My Casio collection now consists of 3 G-Shock, 2 Pathfinder, and 2 Protrek.  :facepalm:

This G-Shock Mudman G-9300ER came in today. This has a red star insignia appearing when the back light is on, pretty cool. I also like the earth color scheme, quite a break from standard black or other colorful options.


My interest in dual-tone, brown scheme started with a Protrek PRW-5050BN. Here is the mudman with its distance cousin.  :tu: Dig them both.

I posted a pic back up the thread and I just checked and they are the same as the watch I received.

Thanks again for ID-ing it! Question: is it watch 120 or 6120?
