G-Shock DW-5500BB

Well, after a long search, I finally got the “squarest” square G-Shock. Straight from Japan.

Love the squarish retro design. Would love to have the DW-5500-1 next time.

It does. Released in 2018. But it’s been difficult to get it

This is the first time I've ever seen it, the squarest G indeed.

·

Was the 5500C released before the 9000? I don't have a good reference for a timeline that includes these two models.

One of my first G's was a 9000-8 the white model. It's currently in a box, but If I get time later I'll shoot a pic. (maybe I can find a pic from back in the day, if so I'll update the post)

Found it, Dec 29 2009:

Thanks! I was not familiar with that exact model. I had seen it around for years, but never looked into it.

·

I’m also trying to find the DW-5500C as well. It’s very difficult to find
