wow..... nice bullhead....would love to own one of these in mint condition.
Can you pm me on where and how much you got it for, plse?
I 'd snap one of these up in a jiffy if it was re-issued (not the current re-issued quartz version)
too bad the latest excellent 8R caliber is a 3 counter & date whereas this is a 2 counter with day-date..

Thanks...

Taking this baby out for a casual Friday to work...




It was a recent present from my Dad. He used to be a watchsmith and kept some pieces aside for remembrance. The sticker at the rear case was still unpeeled although the watch was almost half a decade old now (I think). Still ticks beautifully despite the years that it had accumulated under its belt  :Dancing_banana:

I got one of this, its manual wind right? I kept it in the box and not wearing it for almost 30 years.

Mine is plain dial quite similar to yours.

I will get a photo later.

My aunt bought it from Singapore in the 70s when our currency is 1 to 1 to them and is a gift from her. Those days a lot of our people shop in Singapore and always check by our custom here. Now is the other way and their currency has gone up so much.

Wear it in good health brother

Thanks, mate. And hope you wear yours in good health too. My Dad told me that Pagol had quite a following back when he was a watchsmith in our small town, and he kept aside a few new watches from the varoous batches for collection. I chanced upon this 3055 in one of his drawers. It is about 40+ years and still ticked happily when I wind her up. (Can't say the same about my wife though.)

This one mine keeping it since 1976. The watch had been retired since 1987.

Now only I realised that the date cannot be changed with the crown pull. You have to turn the hands until the date is set.

Still working well amazingly.

Should be a broken date change gear, a good watchmaker can fix it for u.

BTW, nice watch. Saw one in a shop, going for quite a large sum of $$$.

ic. the bezel looks metalic after close look. it would be a great vintage if it's Bakelite bezel and in that condition. But the NCG is an ultra rare piece too! Fantastic watch and wear in good health bro.

Thanks.
I don't have the balls to to touch any pre 60s vintage. Tritium is the furthest I go.

Went out searching for the G-Shock Camo today but couldnt find it. Instead, stumbled into a vintage treasure trove and this unassuming piece was calling to me from it's hidden position among rows of other pieces in the cabinet...



All-in-all a happy and fruitful day...  :Cheers:
