Outside of Chrono24 and Fleabay, your options are limited. Pricing is already reflecting the outgoing models availability but it looks like there's a few used ones on Watchrecon - some sellers not price gouging 'that' bad. I lucked out and snagged mine before Christmas on thedrop.com for only $99.00

I got the gray model from my AD yesterday. It is definitely the best looking model yet and like everyone else, I am a bit baffled by their decision to pull it.

how easy is it to swap the digital displays between these?Mod with parts from:
1- Regular black / white model (case and outer ring)
2- Dial, bezel and hands from Camo model
3- Positive display / complete movement from grey model.

Here is how the other 2 look now:
Black / white model with camo case and inner ring):

Grey model with camo model negative display movement (think brings better contrast on the watch look in general):

You'll have to disassemble the module. I described steps here when i converted mine to positive display and failed (as the lcd is pretty thin and slim) and finally fixed, in the link below

I did not dissasemble the LCD modules, but rather switched the complete movements and swap the dials and hands (have the right tools for that)You'll have to disassemble the module.

Smart way to go. Removing hands is beyond my level of skills and do not have tools for that

Yeh I think I like mine just the way it is 😬
Getting mine around Friday essentially new.Just came in and the fit is amazing - I don't know why Casio killed this version already but I'm glad I got one in my collection.![]()

Really liking the grey one. I was reluctant since the others had negative displays. This one however.
Also the lume has a strong initial burst but fades away rather quickly. I'd say it's slightly above Hamitlon's lume quality.
So yeah, about as strong as most Swiss brands.

Forgot to ask. Why did Casio discontinued the grey one?
Because AP might go after them? Or because of a random "Because I said so"?

On what grounds?
Use of a hexagon! In which case, dozens of other watch companies would be sued also
But going back to the original question- nobody knows why. It seems to still be actively marketed on G shock’s UK Instagram as of a few days ago, so who knows if it really got axed

No one knows.

The grayish look gives him an even bigger resemblance to the Royal Oak. Maybe Casio decided to play it safe like the name swapping in Street Fighter with M. Bison and Vega.
