I think Casio are amazing value for money. My cheap £7.99 I use for work has been fantastic. When the battery gave up 18mths  later it seemed cheaper to just buy another. Amazon couldn’t supply for 2wks plus the price had increased so I chose a alternative style (£46) because it had a 10yr battery. However  after arrived it seemed sacrilegious to abuse it at work, so I got a cheap variety pack of watch batteries from the supermarket (£1.75) and replaced my old battery!! My new Casio is for weekend wear  :rofl:

I know watches are hugely personal but I love my new one…cheap as chips!!

Sorry for derailing the thread.

My '42 M1908 destroyed my thumbnail the first time I opened it. They don't make them like that anymore!  Since the blade on mine is worn down to a stub, I'm planning on having a new blade installed and going with Walnut scales.  Basically--it will end up looking sort of like an M1908. Victorinox has been shown in "How It's Made" type shows rebuilding M1908s, but the US division won't do it (guessing only the Swiss have the stuff to do it with); and Rothlisberger in Switzerland will rebuild them as well (if so, I'm going with stag horn handles). However, I know a guy here in the States who has made new blades for knives he's restored, so I'm contacting him first.

A friend of mine had a basic model for over 20 years and it worked great .

When I needed a watch with a stopwatch funciton, I almost got a G-Shock (the cheapest one), and then just got cheap and bought an F-105 for like ten bucks. Only problem is that it feels like a kid's watch. The face is a little small for my tastes, but it's a really nice watch for the money.

I would not pay over $400 for one of those even though they are going to be about $800. A cash grab for Victorinox. I would rather see a replica of a 1961 Soldier model made to spec and less than $300 as a 60th anniversary piece.

Do we have any confirmation of pricing yet?

I'd like one, but it seems vanishingly unlikely if it's as expensive as people are saying. Maybe $100 at most for something like this for me  :facepalm:

I heard $799.99 will be the price a few weeks ago but we will see. I'm not excited for it. Again like I said ,I would have rather seen a 60th anniversary Soldier than this but I don't call the shots at Victorinox yet

My '42 M1908 destroyed my thumbnail the first time I opened it. They don't make them like that anymore!

Thankfully, they won't be making 'em like that, either... from the marketing website:
"Today’s model has the same number of functions and its tools work the same as the original—although we’ve improved the safety of the springs for opening and closing."

Still priced way out of my reach too, though.

I like the pics and would buy one if priced - I dunno, maybe double or triple what any other two layer SAK would cost?

If it really is 800 bucks, I might sit this one out as well.  That would be a shame.

I've written to Victorinox requesting an 1897 Officer's and Sports Knife X  :P

I've always loved the early scales with more rounded edges than the current wooden ones, together with the exposed rivets. I'd like to see a modern Spartan in this style. Perhaps a modder's done it already?
