Here's the commercial that got me spending hours looking at the Consumers Distributing catalog back in the day.:

Here's a cool one from the 90s with the DW6600 that you like: https://youtu.be/PS8JJTLuTcA?si=XaGlo5XcDA_3hD18

That's another great one! I don't quite know exactly what it is about that watch but after all these years it somehow remains my favourite G-Shock. It's toughness and even how bright to backlight was compared to some other models of the era amazed me then. I just like the layout of the display in general and will always appreciate this model.

My wife very kindly just bought me this DW-6600 in what Casio calls Vintage Product Colours -- supposedly inspired by the colours of computers and stuff from the 1970s and 1980s. It looks much nicer in person than I was expecting, and I've been going on about it for a couple of weeks now, since I saw it by chance on a Japanese YT channel. I like the 70s-style brown and beige, and the green screen is kinda cool, too.

Congratulations, Adam! I actually saw one of these pop up tir other day online when browsing and didn't know the story behind it. You're going to enjoy this one!

Thanks Rommel. It's definitely stirring up nostalgia for when I worked reception on computers in a very beige-and-brown London hotel in the mid 1980s. Luckily the wife found it for only about $60 brand new here in HK, but I think I'll be wearing it more than initially expected, even though the module is pretty basic.

That's amazing! This is one of the few models where I actually like the more basic module, because I'm otherwise into things like the Riseman and Rangeman.
It also has a nice tactical look to it, mainly because of the colours used I feel, but versatile for what it is either way. Which box did it come in? |

Just the usual tin. I think this is the only Casio I have with a flashing alarm option and light staying on as long as the button is pressed down. Too bad it's not solar but 5-yr battery is pretty good.
