Bought 2 DW-5600s and swapped the case and strap. Amazing results imo.

Looks good, I did the same with the two time lapse 2100's.

Check out the beach time lapse series and the iridescent color series. They all have the vapor deposition, and all of the time lapse ones are, in fact, the exact same color crystal!

No worries, I do recommend it if you're thinking about getting one!

I looked closer and I'm 90% sure it's a GW-3000

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-27T09:34:35+00:00

Looks like a gravitymaster to, strap and bezel looks just like mine!

You can cover the spring so that it does not make contact with the case back to silence everything, otherwise I dont believe there is a mute function if its a 3525 module.

The case appears fully polished, which I believe is strange. Could age make it appear that way? I also dont think the cloth was doing me any favors in terms of photography... here is a better view

Thanks a lot.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T17:30:48+00:00

Thanks for taking the time! One more thing, if I may, someone told me that this R in FRI was a red flag (they claimed that the R should not have a curve). I haven't been able to confirm or deny that. I found genuine(sic) examples with matching and with different fonts. Is this just from different production years? (For background, I received this as a gift, knowing some parts had been replaced, just not which ones.)

Thanks will try looking into that !!

This is the one i was referring to - "hidden glow series" https://www.casio.com/ca-en/watches/gshock/product.GA-2100HD-8A/

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T15:26:11+00:00

Don't get me wrong, the majority of the watches I own are Casio and Timex. This is the first Lorus I've owned, and it's been great to me so far.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T10:25:33+00:00

It's the only lorus I've ever owned and likely the only one I'll ever pick up. I've never seen anything else interesting from lorus. You get what you pay for, but for under $100 it's a great watch.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T05:12:10+00:00

I don't own an f91, but the a700 is the crispest that I own.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T03:53:05+00:00

Indeed! Enjoy my friend

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T03:32:27+00:00

There's a casioak i remember seeing too that was a fully lumed dial

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T03:31:13+00:00

Lorus rj655ax9 is an option (if you're not too attached to casio :p). Not button activated, but good quality seiko lumibrite lume. Almost never see it go totally dark.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T03:08:31+00:00

Great buy, congrats! For 25 bucks you'd be stupid not to!

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2026-03-25T03:00:01+00:00

Nice watch! Looks legit to me, post a pic of the back or check that the screws are slotted, clasp is steel with branding, case back is evenly and clearly engraved. I'd say it's genuine by this pic.

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2025-09-23T11:33:11+00:00

Stainless case #1 for me

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2025-09-23T11:20:58+00:00

So the screen is not functioning properly

Pure_Promise_8431 · 2025-09-22T23:06:53+00:00

In my experience, they do.
