Hello folks, I'm Matt, 39 years old and from the Scottish Highlands.
I am a long-time user of G-Shock, having built up a small collection over the years. I have until recently been using a DW6600 (with adapters and NATO strap) which served me faithfully during my time in the military, despite sand, oil and being dropped and stood on once or twice!! I have a new CR2016 battery, bezel and gasket on order, and intend to give it a graceful retirement (which it deserves after 8 years, two tours in Iraq, being used as a 'work-watch' in a garage and years of camping/hillwalking).
Just bought a very 'retro' DW5500 (with adapters and NATO strap) as a more subtle replacement for everyday use in my new job.
I love the fact that these watches can be serviced/repaired at home, and parts are plentifully available! Proper kit, never had one fail yet!
Looking forward to swapping tips, tracking spares and chasing bargains with you all!
