Whisky has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whisky than bullets.

This one's actually pretty special, at least for a die-hard G-Shock collector, particularly in this condition, which is almost unheard of. Think about it, these were bought to be abused, not to be kept in a felt-lined watch box. Sure, you can replace the resin, but usually the modules are jacked up with faded digits, burned out lights (no EL shit here) and severely scratched crystals and casebacks.

The problem here is not so much the price, but rather the fact that it's in Poland, of all places. :shrug:

Regards,
Adam

PS - The "Wide Temp-LC" bit is no gimmick; these actually had special liquid crystal displays that were designed to operate in extreme cold.

Yeah, a $700 watch deserves a q-tip and I dunno, maybe armor all?
