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.
