Thanks for the help Trihexagonal---I went for the submarine Amphibian. Asked for and received about an 11% discount. Couldn't resist the classic red star for a Soviet era watch, and the manual movement will probably fit my usage well. The other watch with frogman motif is definitely staying on my wishlist for future reference.

I'm sure you'll like it. You can get a nice chain bracelet for about $20.

Johny Depp has a Komandirskie Tankist he's been photoed wearing.

I have one with the sub, a tank, a naval plane, famous Islamic Shrine, The Church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary on the River Nurl. (Looks exactly like it ,too.), 130th Anniversary of a train station, motocross biker, an oil well, city, etc.

Here's 1 of 1000 G-Shock 60th Anniversary Tetsuwan (Mighty) Atom, or Astro Boy, DW-5600 with Kanji:

You can see a shot of the backlit image here. It's better than I could get of it.

The red lettering on the face is the same as on the box end and means 60th Anniversary.

I have a couple more Astro Boy mugs, a set of tea cups and porcelain rice bowl among other robot memorabilia.

Dang, that’s so legit! Very cool acquisition! My wife adores Astro Boy as she has a few of his oversized figures. Enjoy your G and have a Happy New Year! :punch: (imagine a dark-skinned fistbump)

Ditto here Moe Daddy, so glad your back and hopefully 100% recovered:beerchug:

Still tryin' to wear this old thing out:grin:

Thanks for the kind words, it’s much appreciated! I’m still recovering, however I believe the progress made has been nothing short of a miracle. Just got done with a workout at rehab, and will be wrestling (light drilling) tomorrow.

Happy and grateful for life. :pray::raised_hands:

Minoru Suzuki fan, here. :)

He's the real deal.
Very cool! I’m a fan of Sakuraba, Fedor, and if he wins tomorrow, then Ngannou (Stipe is amazing as well). (Edit - Stipe won way too easily... Ngannou has like negative cardio, time to learn some wrestling/ground work!) Jordan Burroughs is pretty much the best pound for pound wrestler from the U.S., and it’s always nice to see him finding clever ways to win his matches. :wrestlers:

Minoru and Hirooki Goto had a hair match on New Japan Pro Wrestling last night. (Not to be confused with WWE Sports Entertainment.)

Minoru lost at the very last, but dominated and plam-struck Goto almost unconscious in seconds, and cut his own hair. It's on again in a couple weeks.

He has the mean bone. :)

As others have stated: great to have you back.

Go easy on the other guy!
