I will for sure be getting...Awesome article Sjors!<br /><br />I will for sure be getting this as a Christmas present! I think it is one of my fave releases this year and one of my faves amongst the GA-110 line up. Love it...<br /><br />As for stickers on or off, I do not care either but for me it is stickers off. Sjors you are so cool I think you can wear anything and get away with it hehe :) <br />The CE stickers I never remove directly, instead I have a little fun with them. I just leave them on and wear the watch and then eventually the sticker will come off<br />by itself, I always try to make them last at least 10 wear cycles. That is when I consider the watch properly initiated is when the sticker comes loose :)<br /><br />The packaging is also great for this model. But it is very strange that they did not release a full size version of that cap, after all NE is a cap company first.<br />I saw a clue that give me a little hope and that is a competition going in Japan were one of the prices for January seem to be a full size version. So maybe it will come out? I hope so!<br /> <br />Speaking of caps, I have never seen that black G-Shock cap with red trim version you had in your picture. Where did you get that? I very much would like to have a cap such as<br />that, looks great! :)<br /><br />The one who discovered that black chip mark on your Gold Defender froggie was me, when you posted a wrist shot of it in your Japanese blogg! Hope I did not cause to much<br />stress when I revealed it ! I saw some spare resin for sale on eBay ( a very rare event) but by the time I was about to send you a message about it someone already bought it :(<br /><br />I agree about the dial being easier to read than the GB version and many other GA-110 versions. As for the muted buttons, I read that the designers wanted to enhance the<br />mechanical aspect of the watch so they excluded button beeps because genuine mechanical pieces do not have button beeps. Me personally are not bothered by the lack of<br />button tones.<br /><br />You are correct this is still easy to find online. The exact limitation of this model is not known, the strange thing is that not even New era themselves know how many pieces<br />exist. They are only aware of that they had access to 110 pieces in the New Era EU shop. The release pattern have also been unusual and strange, they are playing cat and mouse<br />with us collectors. Other than the NE shop only a select few retailers that are considered "hip enough" are allowed to carry it and only a very few pieces each like 2-5 pieces.<br />My guesstimation is that about 2000 pieces was made available worldwide so if that is the case then by Casio standard that is quite limited. Not very limited but limited!SkyForce6https://www.blogger.com/profile/01480360969777797359noreply@blogger.com
