I only have two but I find the MT-G too big, so that one is going. I got the 5600 from Amazon Australia.

All 3 watches are the same. The one in the middle is the original reference. The 2 flanking it were modded and received new bands and bezels. They were purchased for under $20 each and the original white bezels and bands were in terrible, filthy, scraped, dented, throw away condition.
I cleaned the cases and back plates, polished the crystals and replaced the batteries. Work like a charm!
I painted the original G button center a gloss black on the left. The bezel and band come from another reference in that model family and match nicely with the freshly painted original G button.
I swapped out the G button on the right for a gray one that fits and then painted the center a metallic silver. I also painted the bezel letters the same silver and the word "G-Shock" with a metallic blue.
I used metallic auto touch up paint from some old cars I had! The blue is 12 years old!

I've had my G-Shock 5600? Since it was new in 1989. I bought it whilst on shore leave in Miami. Things bomb proof. It's been lost for a year in the garden, run over by various trucks at work to test its strength back when it was new. I only replaced the original battery in 2013. It's now on year 7 of battery 2. Not got any photo online thingy setup unfortunately or I'd post a photo but it looks the same as 50 million other 5600's anyway. Great watch. It is the only watch I wouldn't be without. I even done a YouTube video of me throwing it around my garden and at wall to prove to someone it was better than his $5,000 dive watch. Think that video's had nearly 30,000 views lol
