    The Rare DW-5600B-3V Green Speed :) ...

    Hi All - I got this one from a friend in Japan who bid for me on Yahoo. It needed a new battery and I am proud to say I did it myself . Got a three prong caseback opener and practiced on an old beat up 5600C I have a few times first until I was sure I had the feel for opening a caseback sans slippage lol. This one is truly near mint and what I LOVE is that it's a serial #'d Japan A version. Thanks for Looking -Ronbo

    I'm truly excited it went to a great home, Ronbo!!! Had been eyeing that one for awhile but was focused finding a black and yellow Speedy. Congratulations again and glad you were able to replace the battery easily. Cheers!

    Thanks all :). Truth be told this one shows up for sale even less than the original DW-5000C-1A's do. Cheers -Ronbo

    Thanks Davidro :). You can bet this one will be babied like my D-1 Blue Marble. It will never see water and only see sun for one photo op or two. Cheers -Ronbo
