Retail price for the consumer not the Armed forces is around $460 ,which for me is a bit pricey for a Casio,i even so lately a
metal bracelet Casio that is new at retail of $2500 ........

I like it but I definitely dont want it.

Nice watch but I prefer my issued 6600

I don't get it. Seems like an unnecessary expensive model compared to other G Shocks that are every bit as tough.

When something is issued, it becomes automatically expensive since the government is paying for it.

What is casio of choice for normal watch enthusiasts?

Well i guess this is a retail version "hommage" of the military version ,still i find Casio prices to the extreme these days ,go check out their webstore ,some models sell for 2500 euros!!
I Have a Casio from 1980 that my Father purchased as gift back then,still have it though somewere,only the hard plastic strap (no rubber back then) is damaged ,i renumber paying a very little amount for new even back then.
So i don't understand Casio policy ,you can even buy a totally professional military Grade Sundo or Garmin for much much less.

I still have quite a few G Shocks. The first to get imo is the DW-5600. Extremely shock resistant, durable, 200m wr, and easy to find brand new for $50 or less.
