      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):

        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?

                Yes, about '54 I think.  Giles

                    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.

                                            Me, too! 😉

                                            I once ran into a gorgeous IWC pocket watch in sterling silver from the 1930s I think. It was in Amsterdam. As far as I could tell it was in really good condition. That was in about 2000. The price, if I remember correctly was around 1500DM. Say around $1000. Of course, me, the eternal researcher, didn't buy it. It was, and still is, quite a bit of money for me and for something on a whim …

                                            So I told my grandma. She was almost angry with me I didn't buy it. She said, look when there is something you really like so much, just buy it, I give you the money, I trust your judgment you won't by bad stuff. Nice grandma, eh? May she rest in peace!
