    Is the black gun metal color of the A100WEGG clearly different from silver of the A100WE-1A? Or it's not really much different? I wanna make a prop replica of Alien watch, and if attaching these two Casios with orange flame a subtle difference of color does stand out?

      There's not a whole lot of clearance between the springbar and the case but as long as the leather isn't to thick you should be able to pull it off.

    • @TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces

      I believe it's a snap caseback. Looks like there's a spot near the lugs where you can fit a small screwdriver to pry open the caseback.

      I’m going into the military soon and I’m a fan of Alien, so I thought it’d be cool to get this one if it had 24hr time. I guess I’ll just have to stick with the classic f91w, it’s much cheaper anyways. Thanks for this comment.

    I think it's great that Casio is releasing things like this for collectors. And while they're cool because of the retro factor, any current Casio is a better watch with more features...and costs less too.

    • @TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces

IF (i say if....) i just sense something like this happening again, i would take this watch off my wrist and "push" it down the floor till it goes "BEEEPH#$%^^&*(*^^*(@@#@$ "!!!!!!! And dead flat !!!!!!

    Awesome looking watch, but overpriced. Why pay as much as a G-Shock for this when you can get a beautiful and more versatile AW168 for 25 bucks any day of the week? We have to draw a line in the sand with Casio and all of their backcatalogue gouging aimed at trendy millennials.

    Ugly as sin in the flesh! I've had dozens of Casio's over the years, & this is a Christmas cracker SKMEI quality wise. Bring back the Marlin digitals. Now they make a lot of sense. But I can't see the appeal to anyone other than a ten year old. Made in China. I'm sure SKMEI will come up with a $10 lookalike. Which is all this is worth!!! 😡😡😡👎👎👎
