Simply love the angles on this one and it sits very comfortably on the wrist too!

An effective clasp to help the bracelet remain thin...

Apparently this model is still in production though Casio's page doesn't show a steel version for it. The 300page Databank doesn't have a version in steel but this 150page one has (even one in gold I believe). However, this was the only piece I found after looking for it for a while (and the shop only had one piece). The store owner said it's been sitting in his shelf for about 1-2 years. Most shops have the black plastic version.

I am surprised that I am liking the watch more that I had expected.

lots of pics of the black one around and many shops have them too  ;D

there are also other colour variations (instead of the black border on steel, you get white, green, etc) that you can find via google.

i wouldnt mind grabbing a gold tone DBC-610GA-1D if i come across one.
