G-Shock Porter Case Collaboration DW-5600VT

    Posted the 11th day of October in 2009 by Riley.


A new collaboration DW-5600 has been announced in Japan. This limited edition was done with Yoshida & Company Porter Cases. This watch is all black with a glossy bezel. It has a stealthy face and negative display with "Porter" text above the LCD. It's sort of strange that the band does not seem to be glossy like the bezel. There's also a custom engraved case back and custom black coated buckle with their logo printed on it. Only 1,000 will be produced and the retail price is around $292 USD.

    What's your take on this one, Riley? To me it appears to be not far from the DW-5600 TDP model from 2006, DW-5600BC-1AJR. Actually very similar in overall appearance, so really nothing new. Besides the 1AJR TDP model comes with both bezel and band painted in glossy black, not just the bezel, hmm…for $300 I'd expect a little bit 'more' ;-)

    Yeah, honestly, at that price I expect more than this. I don't get the mix of glossy and matte resin. Any 5600 for over $150 USD seems crazy unless they really bring something awesome.

    That custom G-Shock case looks really nice though.
