My gosh, love at first sight. This retro-futuristic style is just amazing, I wish the price is not that expensive though :-(

Not looking to bad at all,but the old Seiko looks a bit better,and i wish i could find one of those at a fair price.haha

 

You're both right, it does look like an almost deliberate homage to that Bond watch. I didnt even know about that watch until just now, which is why I love WUS, I learn new things all the time. Hopefully the AE will be available in the States soon, the others in that series are, no reason this one shouldn't follow suit, right?

... or a deliberate homage to a Casio watch: Casio AE-20W

 

I like it! If it had a full stainless version I'd be all over it. Too bad the other one has a stainless bracelet but a chromed resin case.

 

You can still take out the module and put it inside a stainless steel case offered by SKXMOD. Link https://www.skxmod.com/products/mat...ter-version-modding-kits-for-ae-1200-1300-series?sku=18057634553547100712910759 They also offer a better bracelet with anti scratch coating.

 

Now available on US eBay. Shipped from Hong Kong. $39.99 for the standard and gold faced resin strap model. $47.99 for the bracelet model. Pricey compared to the AE1000w but I ordered the standard model, now the waiting begins. Module has the exact same feaures as the AE1000W module.

 

Definitely has a great retro look to it. The layout of the "dial"/LCD really is quite similar to the Seiko G757. More so than the old Casio AE-20W.
I personally prefer the looks of the gold LCD version. The contrast between black and gold looks nice, as does the green world time map. The standard version looks great as well.
It is a shame that the silver version doesn't actually have a stainless case. That would have been really cool!

 

Anyone seen this anywhere in Canada?

 

I am in Canada and I got mine on amazon.com. After shipping is 27-28 bucks. Cheaper than eBay this time. I have a casio gw-5000. But this one is more comfortable and have all the functions plus more. Like one time alarm and timer setting down to the seconds. Best feature is the operation tone mute. Most watches doesn't have that. Being in the military, beeping on watches while operating them are now allowed.

Have a dw5600c-9cv and dw5600c on the way. But those will be stored because they are antique.

 

I managed to get one on ebay for around that price too. I really like it, though I've been wearing my amphibian for a new weeks.

 

Not bad... Does the seller not ship to your location?

 

Amazon has them for $20 and free shipping.

Amazon.com: casio ae1200

 

You guys are killin me. They had the black and silver at Sears today. 20% off and if you go after 6 pm another 15% off. I bought the silver one. I have plenty of black plastic watches. I like it!

Found a new variation -AE1200WHB. I bought the 3V, olive green bezel and green nylon strap. 1V has black bezel and black nylon strap. Available on eBay for $22.95

 

I didn't like the printed "world time" and "illuminator" on the case. It cheapens the look. I removed it with some Goof Off. Take a tissue and twist a sharp point. Add a drop of Goof Off and gently remove the printing. Be careful not to touch the black bezel. For adjusting the bracelet, some of the links were stubborn to remove. I use a little dish soap rubbed into it first to make it easier. In the end, not too bad looking for a bargain basement watch.

Awesome, I may have to remove the lettering from my case as well. Love that green nylon version too.

Just spotted this new piece on Casio Europe's site. Its dorky and retro and I love it. I also like the stainless version. I can't find it anywhere in the states. Anyone know anything about when it might come out here?

There are kits to convert it to a stainless case on Ali express and probably a few other places. I don't know of any plans by CASIO to bring out a steel cased version.
