Great taste Bruno!

Hi, my name is Sose and I'm a recovering G-shock addict. Its been about 18 months since my last Casio purchase and I have been tempted.

I used to own almost 7 Gs and sold most after I bought my GMT.
The only G I've kept is a Mudman and the other Casio I have is a Pathfinder. Both watches have become my defacto deployment watches simply due to their incredibly functionality and great features.

You just can't go wrong with them.

Amazon sometimes has some UNBELIEVABLE deals. I once got a blue Gulfman for $55 shipped.

Just a start

Classic Shape
5600 series - classic square design (no analogue)
6900 series - classic round design (no analogue)

Model number denotes different shape/style.

Letters denotes the features, colors, bracelet, etc.

Features

One shape may have different versions to cater for these features

1. All shock resistant
2. All diver 200WR
3. Tough = 1 + 2
4. Tough Solar = 1 + 2 + Solar powered
5. Tough Solar Atomic = 1 + 2 + solar powered + time updated based on atomic time stations around the world.

Other

- Master of G (the tool watch - some are collectable)
- Limited Edition (as the number suggests)

This model seems to be easier to get in the uk. I guess the watch is discontinued but there are some floating around. The band is fantastic and is a deployment. After removing a couple of links and fine tuning it which is painless using a paperclip I give this watch a 5/5. It's very stealth with the reverse LCD.

yeah, i do like the reverse LCD screen. not sure if i'd like the deployant though. i think i'd prefer G's to be on straps but i like to try new things

can you tell me where you got it from?
