i saw there are dw-5600e and dw-6900 offered from japan with the writing "foxfire" instead of "illuminator" on the display. see pics. now i wonder if there is any technical or quality difference? i mean the watches are more expensive, thats all i can see as difference.
Actually there were Fox Fire models released in Europe (at least in Germany and Austria). I think you know the DW-6900H (totenkopf model) and DW-6630 models that are on eBay quite often (a few years back you always could find a dozen of each of them on the Geman eBay).
hi sjors,
yes i know that yellow model, and they are also quite often on ebay nowadays, just some days ago i was outbit, it went for less than 15 euro, and it even was within my city to pick it up :roll:
but what i would do is, take the foxfire watch and put on the regular black bezel and band. somehow that foxfire sounds cooler than illuminator.
As stated above I believe it was just the Japanese term for 'illuminator' for a period. Sounds a bit more sexy i guess! And according to Wikipedia "Foxfire is the term for the bioluminescence created in the right conditions by a few species of fungi that decay wood"

Hi, I just recieved the DW 6900 version and it is definatly the s&#t...I was going to stealth it, but after seeing it in person the colour combo is perfect. I can't believe such a simple watch could bring so much joy. Btw I got it for $85 of eprey.
Some of the Fox Fires that I have seen come with superior straps. The Scorpion (like Hoochy has shown) has a super comfy green jelly strap that fits me better than other G that I own. And given a chance, I'd pick a Fox Fire over a standard 6600/6900 just for the longer strap alone...
