i wouldn't so far to call a gwm5610 a classic, far from it seeing as its a new-ish model.
a classic is the 5600 / 5500 / 5000 or any of its reissues.

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.

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?

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.

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.

PAM 30m ok la, no one going to use it for diving anyway...plus become more of a fashion statement.
then again, if 30m and fashion statement there is always the mighty DW.

technically not a true divers history.
iirc they were basically made famous by the frogmen riding on the human torpedoes aka maiale, which mostly operated barely 20m deep whistling.gif

eh, speaking of smartwatches. fossil smartwatches are now in stores, or am i slow?

ya in already, rm1379 / rm14xx for the black pvd ones.
not bad, but android wear on anything is still android wear.
at least it feels more like a real watch, just quite heavy on bracelet.
the 'ladies' one feels much nicer.
