Casio make the DBC-32 in black, different watch to the 611 though

 

The DBC-32 isn't the one I had. My old one had the same case as the new one I just bought, but the LCD had a slightly different layout and the keypad on the old one had both letters and numbers on it, while the new one only has numbers. I wish I could remember the model number, but it was over 30 years ago and I was a kid at the time. I lost it when I was 18. I'm 49 now.

The DBC-32 has a larger case, and has raised physical keys to push, while mine has a flat keypad.

 

What's crazy is that I paid less for the reissue than my original cost me back in the early 90s! I paid $55 for my original, and the new one was $50 on Amazon!

Yes the rereleases are cheaper. I had a DB520 back in the 1980's. Used it mostly for the database and chronograph then passed it on to another family member. Casio reissued the DB520 about 30 years later and the 675 module retained the original calendar but upgraded the light to led. I think I paid about $30 for the new one which was much less than in the 80's.

 

It's not so much a rerelease, but a new model with a new module.

This was released in 2011.

 

Yeah, I noted that the LCD was different in layout so I figured the module was new. The original was made over 30 yrs ago, so its no surprise that it is not available anymore.

 

Super cool! Had to take mine off for math tests

Thanks for the link, that helped a lot! My original one was the DBC-61.
