Sweet, I like that every aspect of it looks precision

I know I said Satin finish but it really looks like what I've heard called Suede Matte before but the iced steel sounds like it looks, Bad Azz

LOL! Here's a link to an explanation of the process:

Of course I know it's 45mm. I bought it because it's the smallest diameter case size in Casio's current US G Shock lineup. Although I'm wondering if you knew that since you claimed there are thousands of smaller G Shocks. And then there is only one "square" series in the current line up, the 5600. Maybe I should have said "THE" square so you weren't confused. Are we going to have to change your profile tag to Padawan and make me the new Master G?

(And no. Baby Gs are Baby Gs. They are not G Shocks, if one is trying to be accurate. Quite clearly differentiated by the label on the watch itself

Cheers Poster! It's called "iced steel" and is a process that renders it completely scratch proof. You can find these sometimes second hand, maybe 5-10 years old and they always look completely brand new. Incredible technology and combined with the Valjoux 7750 movement it's one of the all time toughest chronographs on the planet. :blink:


That's nice to hear. I recently bought an inexpensive Casio Eco Drive, and I was disappointed to discover that the stainless must be as soft as butter. In one day, got more scratches on it than some of my Oneida flatware that is 20 years old (LOL).

I wish there was more information like that given about stainless bracelet and case hardness. It's not all equal. I don't need a very expensive movement in a watch, but I would love it the darn thing doesn't scratch easy :)

Classic diver strap, nice.
 
I'm thinking of picking up a 3rd gen. But the lack of a day window makes me feel like it's lost something. The new movement is supposed to be more accurate. But after being regulated I've been getting +/- 1 min/week on mine, which is enough for me.
