Finnaly got some'tun in-coming!

Post by AZpops » Mon Sep 10, 2012 8:11 pm

Found one of these guys on Watchrecon, but decided for under a "C" note difference in price. I'd go ahead an give Seiya Kobayashi the buziness!

Awesome. Way more than I would ever spend on a G, but it is a great looking watch.

What's triple g resist? Is that new, threaded crown or something?

It's what casio is calling the 1. Shock, 2. Vibration, and 3. Centrifugal Gravity Resistance, which coincides with the new loggo (?) on the Cockpit's case back.

The crown is actually an electrical switch which you can lock. When it's unlocked, you can press it in to have quick access to world time, Zulu (or UTC) time.
