I have a 42mm PO, but with the orange bezel. For me, the black bezel makes the PO look pretty much like a Rolex Submariner or, for that matter, almost every other "dive" watch of which there are dozens from Swiss Army right up the food chain. But the orange numerals with the black bezel do give...
I have been tracking original G-1s on eBay this past week and there must be a dozen (or more) from the 1970s (Star, Brill Brothers, etc.) in good to excellent shape with great grain that have gone for under $100. There just seems to be a glut of G-1s on there right now. Even some nice, no damage...
