    got three the one in the first pic just the head , then one I gave my dad , and the one in the other pic,

    it's a shame as it's a really decent watch but not much wow factor but a very decent comfortable to wear watch got a few like that I will be wearing over the next few days to decide which stays in rotation .

    think a GA-100 is a must
    think W-94H is safe for now .


    (and got a mudman & and an old diver that are safe plus a couple of mdv but they are not in my rotation )


    got a GD-100 am wearing today but think will go as just not getting it for some reason (same size as a GA-100 but feel less comfortable and the read out not to my taste )

    Comfort is big for me as well. Too many comfortable watches for anything else to spend time on my wrist

    When keeping one I know will not receive much wear time, I lean toward what makes me smile more. I would advise that to any watch enthusiast

    If it makes you smile, keep it. If not, move it along!

    some times yes some time with g to find them again and or price can be way more harder I restored the mudman now prices to buy one are a lot higher now then say four years ago ( I had one then in a joblot I restored it and gave it a new upgraded bezel set and it went low ..now reckon if held onto it to now be worth more .

    **** G-9000 the transformation part-1 ****

    G-9000 the transformation part-2

    think more scarcity like some 80's models or the project team tough or the dw 5000 come to mind .

    but yes some times fads do tend to change prices say if a film comes out and a character wearing something vintage .

    but yeah just some time worth holding on to iconic pieces just because they are iconic .
