AndyS wrote:PetWatch, did you get tags on your watch from Tilly's? I also didn't get the foam, but they didn't send the tag, either.

BTW, looks like they're back in stock there if anybody else wants a watch with bad shipping

Checked again, no. Got correct manual, warranty card and this cut out instead of foam insert. Strange about tags, that's usually included.

I ordered a couple of these for at that $67 price from Amazon/Zappos, along with a blue one. None had tags and none had foam in the middle of the watch or a bag on the watch. Just the foam around the edge of the tin with the little round piece of thin foam in the lid.

Wonder if Casio is just changing it up to save money.

I like that, it's a good thing that helps to hold and increase product value if you get the "right" models.

They seem to be issuing limited production batches, of the Casioak in particular which along with the squares are the one's I follow, of unknown quantities, one after another. Keeps it interesting for us and incentivizes sales for them.

Used Rit Black for synthetics. Heated water to 200F on the stove and poured in dye until the water was black. Dropped in the band parts (minus buckle). Stirred them around for 2-3 minutes then removed and dipped and rinsed in clean water. Color was much darker than my goal.

The stuff I read and watched online for this type of Rit suggested about a 5 minute timing on the dye. It's obviously much faster.

There is some opacity left, but its pretty dark. Doesn't look bad, just not what I wanted. Will likely try again as soon as I can get another set.

I love blue. My last two cars are pretty much that shade of cobalt blue. But that color in gel on that watch just isn't my cup of tea. It doesn't look as bad to me in the small shot there, but if you click into the article, the pic just doesn't do it for me.

I'm glad there are options out there for different tastes, but I wish they would keep some of the high selling models around a bit longer.
