JDM version and I've not seen the original packaging before, how cool :shock: . As a big fan of Aliens and the Giugiaro bishop I'd love an example this complete and clean but 1300 lids is too steep for this artifical person :oops:

Here's my slightly less complete and more worn example.

Dog rough with non functioning split timing/counter button.

Bits and pieces, a lot from cousins who seemed to have unobtainium bits like chapter ("dial") rings and cryptically "bezel assembly" which I hoped and prayed included insert which it did. Result.
No joy on a bracelet, anywhere! so I made fit a generic casio rubber bracelet which suits it. I also modded old casio bracelets with decent success but they didn't match the patina on the case or match it's off black grey

This is a joy to use. Fiver on Ali for the win as my kids say.

Gotta love the period bumpf 8-)

And here she is with another one of those custom sapphires with ar. A bitch to install (used new gasket :roll: :lol:)
Do the new parts match the case wear, nope, do I care, nah not really :P
It looks better and all works now I resealed the buttons (but the split button is still a bit sticky and takes a slight harder press to actuate, so I'm guessing there's poss corrosion issues in the lever switch contact post thingy).
All in all "not bad for a human" :lol:
