- Fox Fire is a direct translation of the Japanese term Kitsunebi which was used to describe an unnatural atmospheric glow in legend. It is most likely related to one or more very natural phenomena. Fox Fire was used by Casio to describe it's EL Backlight which was reflective of this ethereal, green glow. The name was originally given to the DW-6600 as the first model to feature an EL Backlight and was then used as an alternative to 'Illuminator' on many different Japanese models in the future.
Watch Notes:
New & unworn however it's an old dude, so... There's multiple minor scratches around the backplate presumably as a result of sloppy battery changes. A couple micro marks either side of the eyelet side of the strap between eyelets 3&4 (counted from lug) from buckle or storage in the plastic case (I'd guess the latter) and one micro mark immediately to the right of the 6h/Light button to Bezel bumper. Some dust around the glass but besides this glass is flawless. As is the rest of the watch.
Accessory Notes:
Display case is structurally perfect, no snaps or cracks. Watch mount is easily removed with no damage. Swinging tab I've removed for the benefit of keeping it in one piece but again, no damage. Some scapes and scratches around the outside of the case, too many to list in full but par for the course on a vintage G. Manual excellent, some light fading, permanently lightly curled but this is normal for how they come. Customer survey sheet exactly the same as manual, some mild storage kink and curl plus light fading.
