Fortunately, I was able to avoid the modding rabbit hole. Out of that , I might never have emerged.There was one in the case at the Burlington store. Didn't check the model and the price was just south of $2K.
I have a bunch of them. Good work watches. There's a big sub group of people modding G-Shocks (and Seikos). The big US company for Gs is SKX MODS. I think SKX has their stuff made offshore and is unsigned. Ali has signed stuff. They make metal kits in SS and Ti for both the 5600 and 5610 to replicate GMW-5600/MR-G.
When you have more money into a seiko than a Patek you know your life has taken a wrong turn.
It was somewhat tongue in cheek. Obviously there are affordable mods but if you really went down the rabbit hole (like a custom one-off case in precious metal), you could spend a fortune.

Is that you GG?
For better or worse no. No Patek and I think the most I have into a seiko is low three figures.
Good to know. Not fussed about Invicta ownership from a snobbery standpoint, I have been more concerned about junk with a historic name glued to the dial with Glycine because I've never been able to see one in person. Glad to hear it's respectably finished and good value. Will keep my eyes peeled for one, as some models of the Combat Sub are among the thinnest (reasonably priced) traditional divers I know of, at least according to the spec sheet...For a watch I paid $650 for I'm not at all bothered about who owns the company. Finish is quite good. I'd say better than your average Seiko. Nice heft as well. I'm not sure what retail price is. Guess I should have checked before I purchased.
