1. Case finish

The A1100 is one of the very rare Casio digis with a steel case. The Skmei, as expected for the price, has an alloy case.

In all objectivity, the winner should be the Casio (obviously). Right?

Ok, scroll up again a little and compare the cases…

AliExpress & others still do not offer a steel case for the A168, years later…

The Casio A1000D is full steel but too blah: all gray no hint of colors like on the A168, and only 3 year battery life:

The Timex T80s are close, but also resin case and lack of colors… (or the opposite for…

Hi f71!

We started this project in 2021 in the "Best of Ali-Xpress" thread at the time and now, four years later, it is finally making progress!

The project: a re-creation / homage of the historical Seiko 7548-700C 'teal/seafoam green' version, extremely limited and only produced in December of 1984!

The homage: back in 2021 we came up – together with @cuica – with a name and a design for a dial.
