    WOW, Cool to see these altogether. I only have 2 6900KG's and 2 56KG. I pretty much like the olive drab/orange color scheme.

    Cheers,

    VERY nice set, congrats!
    If they had positive displays I would certainly be after at least one.

    Sjors: you also a "2 of each one i like" guy? WOW :what:

    LUW: another member here did the "neg display mod" on the 5600 (which makes it a positive display) and it turned out great! Just a thought. And a reason for you to get another king which i will always encourage! :beer:

    @sjors: i mean i've read a couple of other members here who buy two of a watch if the like it. Or did you get the atomic and non-atomic versions?

    If you don't mind me asking: does that mean you have the atomic 6900? If so, was it made in the same plant (China) as the g6900kg? Are the resins the same color?
    Another member had said the king was a different color than the other kg's. I don't see it on mine, but didn't know how far it extended.
    Thanks for putting up with all my questions :beer:

    Nice collection, congrats. Too bad, Casio offers those only with neg. display and the metal rivets on the 7900 are absurd.


    cheers

    A short Tutorial on „How to use and calibrate a Casio Altimeter“:

    1. Attach a string to your Casio AB(C) watch (feel free to use any length)
    2. Abseil the watch into an Abyss until you hold the string’s end between your fingers
    3. Get the watch up again
    4. Use a measuring tape to measure the string length
    5. Success! Now you have carefully calibrated the Altimeter
    6. Important!!! The Altimeter Lock will stay enabled, unless you shorten or lengthen the string

    Thank you cal.45, the g7900's don't have the rivets? Didn't realize. No question about the functionality of them.

    Nice to see all 4 together. I don't even get to see that at the stores! :D

    I was taking a close up of the 5600KG-3 yesterday, and (embarrassingly) for the first time noticed that the border bet the solar plates and the bezel has a texture (I'm not sure if it is printed or molded). I'm a sucker for design details like this, no matter how tiny.

    @ Chrisek,

    IMO Casio should have used the black plastic rivets from the G-7900 series. They are as fake as the metal ones but never pop out, are flush with the case and - most importantly - are not shiny on a series that is otherwise all for stealth look...


    cheers

    You just have to put in a piece of polarized film and the display becomes positive?
