uhh yes, im well aware.
just cos it looks similar doesn't make it a classic.
the 5000 has a solid screw caseback and stainless steel case with the resin bezel on top...ie a completely different model in a different league of built quality.

newbie here on gshock. solid screw caseback is where? u mean the back of the watch it is screwed with stainless steel case behind?

the model u posted gw5000hr not yet selling?

cuz i look around, like not selling yet. it is really nice. may consider this cuz i saw one tat looks similar to urs with the red text on the top n bottom

of cos a gwm5610 is cheap...
but if u really want a 5000...better just look for a used dw5030... thats the most recent faithful reissue of a 5000.
i know someone here recently got the gset 30th set for rm1.1k or so... brand new here is rm1.7k.

this thread u can see how nicely made a 5000 is.

a 5600 / 5610 cannot come close... as u can already tell from their prices.

need to do more readup on these babies b4 i decide what i want

for now the gwm5610 has the solar power, atomic time, world time for travelling, auto-EL for night time legibility.

the watch u mention earlier is one sexy beast gw5000hr.

already on the menu to order?

alright will look to the forum u mention

nope, i dont like the 5xxx series, too small for my tastes.
i had a couple of 5600 before... got rid of them.
i still like my mudman, rangeman and g-steel.

the panerai comes in mind when u say big

What about the GW-5000-1jf? Iirc it's also a faithful reissue?

how is having solar and atomic a faithful reissue?

the dw5030 is the closest, except for its batt life of few yrs only.
the original had 10yr battery life.

ahhh maybe i am willing to allow some new tech like the atomic timekeeping and solar rather than going for the faithful reissue

thx for the elightenment

now ayam need to decide

ya but atomic is kinda useless here... while solar if u use often u would need a batt change roughly every 7yrs.
give me 10yr battery life anytime

y atomic useless? again i am newbie

being newbie is no excuse for being lazy.

TOPKEK

On my 2nd visit to cortina and tried it.
Can't sleep well now.

Nice, except I can't stand the whole bible on the dial.

Huy guys is there any watch to recommend that's somethin like this
https://www.brathwait.com/products/the-clas...er-strap-melano

but at 38mm? The only one i found so far is DW Dapper series but i want a sapphire glass so that it's scratch resistant. budget <1k

Wassup wassup? Got TT bojio... why la. Sorry I couldn't make it; was on holiday and had little access to Internet.

does it have to look like a DW?
else seiko got plenty options under rm1k.

So anything new from Europe? Easy to justify when the SO is busy grabbing bags.
