G-Shock Gulfman?

Anybody have one of these?

I've been spending more time around that salty water and my standard G is getting a bit of rust on the band screws and edges of the caseback, might be from the screws.

I don't know if all the Gulfman models have titanium or not but they're supposed to be more rustproof, but do they suck?

I have the plain (non-solar, non-atomic) Gulfman, model G-9100, which has the tide and moon display (vs the newer and more expensive--more than 2x--GW-9100, which is solar and atomic--gets time signal to update time automatically--which doesn't have either a tide or a moon phase display).

The plain G-9100 has a resin bezel with a titanium back plate and titanium screws for the band. (The GW-9100 has a titanium bezel, titanium back and screws.)

The G-9100 is supposedly rust resistant and mine has proven so thus far, over 6 months around saltwater.

Thanks for the info.

I have both the G-9100 and the GW-9100 Gulfman. They're both great watches. The only downside is that many people find the Gulfman straps to be a bit uncomfortable. I solved the problem by swapping the stock strap with the strap from a DW-9052, which is a perfect fit. I hear that strap adapters will also fit a Gulfman, so you can move to a 24mm Zulu strap.

If you don't want to potentially mess with strap options, I'd try one before you buy.
