Very cool, I've never seen one of those before! With a few vintage Casio's in the collection I enjoy and appreciate discovering different models. My major issue with the other watches such as ProTrek's etc is the lack of durability. Sure, they can take a beating and last decades (still shocked by this, but shouldn't be). However, with the ability in some cases to switch both the strap and outer casing of a G-Shock, the latter wins for me:











This is likely going to be my next G-Shock:
