So I dug up my 13 year old G-shock, and replaced the batteries today. i get home and decide to wash it under slightly warmer than room temp water.
(not mine)
i notice the circular donut "armor" around it starts to move.. and cracks... and falls right off, in 3 peices. what the FUCK?!
i guess the god damn fucking rubber dried out and the "glue" holding it on was non existent anymore, warm water probably let it expand faster and since the rubber was dried out it just "peeled" and slowly broke into pieces. sigh. thought this shit is supposed to be TOUGH.
I super glued it together and strapped it onto a table leg beside my bed. i now use it as a beside "clock" lol, since it aint fucking water proof and a piece of shit that will fall apart.
So i proceeded to dig up my 1996 basic first gen indiglo ironman. that shit is still together and working. no "rubber". im gonna stick some batteries it in tomorrow and use it as my super beater watch when i do some extremely retarded stuff. this shit looks so oldschool. all the fucking lettering on the buttons are worn off and it looks like it's been through hell. hahaha
not mine. but looks the same.
