    I actually quite like that and do have a love for things NASA.

    Don't think I could actually pull off white however :)

    Oh dear, not for me. Looks like it was knocked up by the work experience kid on their lunch break.

    And I normally love all things NASA. A shame really.

    Agreed, it'll sell out in 14 seconds, but it is a weak effort, and is the the cheaper resin that'll go yellow? Still most buyers will keep it 'mint in the box' I guess. Kinda sad really.

    That looks like a cheap knock off, the case just has not features or detail.

    I'm sure they will sell out but that's not for me.

    Agree. Zero effort and looks like it should cost £30.

    If it's glossy finish that resin has extra layer of see through laquer and it is resistant to resin rot.. unless damaged.

    This is nice collector's item TBH and will fetch higher price in future.

    A different kettle of fish, but this is far more attractive to my eye. Not that I'm buying one of these either.

    If the asking price is not 10 000 GBP or more and waiting time five or more years, I'm not interested.

    I rather like the minimalist design, and the DW5600 has bonafide NASA heritage. Not a daft price either.

    A few of these have already sold on US eBay for $400 (c£320) + postage + tax.

    It works for me - I mean you associate NASA with white and American flag branding. There really is nothing else, so nothing really a surprise. I guess they could have squeezed in the NASA globe logo, but that would ruin the aesthetics.

    I wonder where they are getting them from - have Casio sold all the stock already?

    Likewise works for me. Though, at the original price, not what they are now going for on ebay!
