Awesome find, Mitch! Big fan of that one. The 6100s are classic Gs with some really neat features. Look after it, mate.


Btw, mine says "Hi!"...

Thanks Kiwi.

I love that 6100 Camo Python. One of my favourites.

Hi Mitch,

Wow, that's a great oldie for your G-Museum! If I were you I would be careful with it, as the bezels are getting weak now and you can't get replacement parts.

Cheers,

Cheers Sjors.

The resin is always a concern on old vintage models. The resin on this though looks and feels just like new as it has probably been just stored away. I reckon there are many long years of life left in this model.

Funny enough, given its rarity, there is a band and bezel set for the DW-6194-1B for sale on Yahoo at the moment. Going for $125 though which is a little more than I want to pay at this time.

Nice watch. Anyone know how many of each usa 94 model were released? were they quite limited?

I don't think Casio have ever released production numbers for these but they cannot be large. Japan failed to qualify for the 94 World Cup finals and this must have affected demand.

There are not many about as they don't come up for sale very often and Google doesn't produce very much in terms of people who have got them. Indeed, if you enter DW-6194 this thread is the number one hit!

Here is another picture with some other '94s'.

Oh well I guess we will never know how many there were, just that there aren't many left. I only have the SWC05 from this set:

Only!

That is a rare and expensive G shock, a real collectors item.

There is a used one up for sale on Yahoo currently at $1100.

There is always a bit of trepidation when messing around with an old rare model and initially I thought I would leave it untill the battery needed changing but as this could be years off my curiosity got the better of me.
