Thanks for your comment. I knew the...Hello Joakim,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. I knew there were one or two other models, but I couldn't find them everywhere (I remember the LAX EL backlight). <br /><br />In my research I asked FUMI, but he could also only remember a blue version. Now I see the G-5500US model, I remember this LAX model. It's more a "Joakim model", LOL<br /><br />Just a question out of curiosity. I am pretty sure I can't write another 50 G-Shock articles next year. I pretty much covered almost 100 different G-Shock models.<br /><br />Isn't it an idea to try to make a next 50 articles together. I think if I squeeze a lot, I can make another 25 articles... What do you think of writing the 25 other. Looking at your lengthy replies, I think you can do it and I love to see those glowing bears from time to time, ha ha (just joking).<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SjorsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340378348442987683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463679325672599668.post-84380337380618404392009-10-06T08:22:17.813+02:002009-10-06T08:22:17.813+02:00Hi Riley,

Imagine riding up and down on a 3ft wide trail over dunes, covered with sand, riding against 8 Beaufort. <br /><br />On the dike of Westkapelle I had the wind from the side, constantly trying to blow me off the dike. <br /><br />When I was walking up the stairs on the dunes again, I was jammed between my bike and the stairs railing, about 30ft from the bottom of the stairs and still about 20 to climb. <br /><br /><br />Here's a photo of Bram on the Mini-Marathon: <br /><br />http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr245/sjorslog/Marathon/big_2321_6_PF185_2009.jpg <br /><br />And here a link to the television broadcast of the walking edition. I think you recognize the guy in the red camo Bathing Ape jacket (next to the light blue organization jacket). At about 3' you see Bram and Eva cross the finish.<br /><br />http://www.omroepzeeland.nl/streams/uitzendinggemist/SL/player_actueel.php?fid=http://www.omroepzeeland.nl/MediaCentrum/2009/Sport/Sport_KM_1600-1630_Zondag.wmv<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SjorsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340378348442987683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463679325672599668.post-75135736843719867952009-10-06T06:43:57.730+02:002009-10-06T06:43:57.730+02:00Oh I just noticed I left out that the Green/Black ...Oh I just noticed I left out that the Green/Black LAX one was not a DW-5600 model it was a G-5500 model.

I always waited for an all bright yellow G-5500 and here we finally have it so this one is on my list!<br /><br />This is the second run of City series from Casio. Last run was in February 2009 I think when they released the blue/black with negative display DW-5600 for Tokyo TYO and a bright green/black for Los Angeles LAX. Those models are also very unknown.<br /><br />Strange that casio sometimes release these almost secret models that are not announced properly and do not appear in perfect search. I remember the release pattern was similar back in 2005 for my yellow GL-7500. It also mostly appeared in Singapore. What is it with casio and special yellow releases just for Singapore hehe?<br /><br />But then again it is kind of extra fun to own such a hidden model. They sure are going to become very rare and hard to find rather fast.<br /><br />But this time there also appear to come a European version of this I just saw an -ER version listed on German ebay. But only 1 seller and the price is 119 EUR so not so good price as the Singapore sellers.<br /><br />Sincerely Joakim Ågren!SkyForce6https://www.blogger.com/profile/01480360969777797359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463679325672599668.post-82245552699243330332009-10-06T05:10:50.151+02:002009-10-06T05:10:50.151+02:00Nice one Sjors.
