    He does. Currently I am wearing my MTG-1000 (no retro in sight today). I'll post a pic in a minute.

        @warpnweft:

        I too, am an unashamedly watch (esp. G Shocks) OCD sufferer:

        DW-5000 1JF, screwback casing

        does hectic approve?

        Awesome watch. I got the first one when it came out back in the 80's. Screwback and all. As kids we had fun throwing it around in the school yard or against the brick walls without it taking as much as a scratch. Those were the times!

        To my great dismay, I lost the watch. I have the 5600 re-edition with normal caseback today. Thought about getting the 5000 re-edition as it is closer to the original in display and caseback but couldn't justify the double emploi.

          Hi,

          Anyone here got a G-shock Frogman please? I'm bidding on one on ebay and I was wondering if anyone could post a wrist shot?

          Thanks

            Here is my latest ebay find (and a real bargain), a G-Shock Frogman (Men in Rusty Black variant):
            http://www.flickr.com/photos/26000995@N06/4318863606/#

            It also came with a Glorious Gold translucent white bezel and band, but I prefer the black.

                  The Patek sinks Kiya's Rolex to unfathomable depths. 😉 And the Roli is already nice. But this is a beauty. 50's Calatrava?

                        I think I got a good deal on it.  It cost me USD2000 10 years ago.  I am sure I could get a load more for it now.  Like so many things in life, I bought it as an "investment" - but I'm completely buggered if I'll ever get rid of it….

                          Yeah I was thinking it'd cost a couple of milles… Damn it... The more I read this thread, and the more watches I see, the less I like my current one... But then, it's just some 'cheap' thing to use at work... And since I do physical work, it gets a lot of bumps and scratches; it's basically abused beyond and I should feel lucky there's no such thing as an Amnesty International for watches.

                                  I thought you were joking about how I had me hands up cow's arses all day whilst wearing my watch…

                                  But no: nowt fancy... I just do physical labour in a depot... Unloading trucks, responsible for the beverage dept. (alcoholic and non-alco) of a local warehouse. Not for the lazy, I can tell you that... But I love it... Hard, honest work...  🙂

                                        Stick the Patek in a cow! Nice! ROTLFMAO.  😃

                                        $2k for that watch even ten years ago is a frickin' super steal. Congrats. If the movement is in good shape you would bay 6-10k for that now, possibly more if it was a rare model. A new Calatrava (not quite as nice as this one) costs around $15k.
