Late to the party, but this DW290 has had certified beater status for the last 20 years or so. Was my daily until I got a G-Shock. It's had cutting slag on the crystal, all manner of solvents, lubricants, paints, and stains on every surface, a new strap, two battery changes, and a new gasket last year. I expect it will be good for another 20 years.
