I have always had a passion for watches after getting my first citizen watch for my communion, I just loved having it on my wrist and when I was around 10 years old I found a broken watch belonging to my father and he let me take it apart, and I was amazed at the mechanics of it and that’s when my respect for watch makers started. I don’t have a problem with quartz, but my passion is mechanical. I also love G-Shocks, I bought my first one in the mid 80s, but I lost it in the Lebanon. I then bought my next G-Shock in 2004, the MTG-930DU ST, and I still wear this watch and I have never replaced the battery. I don’t have any high value brands, I could never afford the ones I really liked, So any watches I have are cherished dearly.

I just bought one a few months ago, and after setting it up and going pike fishing, all I can say is if it shows fish, go fishing, it works, 😉
I bought one of the bracelets, butI am really struggling to fit it, Is it worth the effort to keep trying? Or should I just stick with the original?
Thanks for the suggestions guys, sorry for the late reply, but just got my first and hopefully last taste of Covid. All good now and can start looking for my field watch
I only got my 5610 a few weeks ago, and I agree, it’s a bit plain, so I have ordered the full metal mod kit in black, I’ve seen one done recently and its very impressive
