This is the best colorway I've seen on the King thus far, and honestly, I don't know how they're gonna top it.

Thanks, Luke! :thumbsup:

That.

It's truly a monster on the wrist. Hell, whenever I wear my Orange King my son always asks why I'm wearing the toy watch; to him, it's akin to strapping a huge block of Lego to one's wrist.

But yeah, they're both so freakin' cool, who cares? :shrug:

Ok that is badass and in od green. :fro: I passed on the us versions of this one and all the other kings. But I might have to see about snagging one if those. Some wrist shots when you get a chance AC. :thumbsup:

Wowzers. Dwarfs the AP.

On an unrelated note, that bracelet looks like it might make the diver wear smaller. I wanna try that on.

(Drew, getting a bracelet any time soon? :mrgreen:)

Seriously, this shit is dope. The non-atomic version has or will hit the US shores soon but who really wants a watered down version?!

Hello - a year and a half since the last post? Anyway, I've got two, the original black GX-56, and the orange with negative display. And they don't make these anymore. Why?

I asked them (well, their VP of Timepieces, anyway), and couldn't get a straight answer. The scuttlebutt is that they simply didn't sell all that well, and with the introduction of the super-sized GDX-6900, it was deemed redundant. :shrug:

That thing is a monster. I love the dichotomy of a Casio with an AP.

Adam, I dare you to show the current G collection, plus i always wanna see that crazy colors one to got! I think it's my favorite g-shock produced so far.

That's a great looking watch. I enjoy the version I have even though it is clownishly large on my wrist. :shrug:
cheers,

Love the color combination... seems to be similar to this one (I definitely can't pull off a King, so got this one instead):
