Soul-
I mean… it's a black 5600 (non-solar) with a gold coloured keeper, a red logo on the screen when you hit the backlight, a special caseback, and some text moulded into the strap. Oh, and a star laser engraved onto the mode button. It also comes with a tool to change the bezel easily. I like the way it looks with the 5700 bezel on it but it's a fan service piece really. For me it’s a 6/10 as a 5600, 8/10 as a 5700.
The thing I never really get on with re: 5600s is when they have no printing on the screen surround. Always looks a little odd to me. The 5700 aperture is a lot smaller and it looks fine with a blank screen surround.

Bit early for G-Shock Thursday but I picked up a couple of the 40th anniversary “Re-Masterpiece” watches. The 6640 sold out quite quickly and seems to be trading at about double retail so I’ll probably be selling it - it’s cool but the size and shape doesn’t really do it for me.
Will probably keep the 5657 though (so called because it comes with both 5600 and 5700 bezels) as I love a good 5700.
Packaging on the 6640 is really cool btw.
