Does anyone have a confirmed genuine GW-M5610U without this line? I thought it was only in renders, but the actual product seems to have them... aside from some I see, including mine.

Could anyone help me out here? Thanks!

This may seem strange, but can someone with a confirmed genuine AE1200 in black show me the plastic clasp/buckle on their watch?

I've noted that the plastic buckle on fake Casio watches has strange 'CASIO' branding. I'd be very appreciative if someone could show me theirs.

Fate of the Stars inspirations.

Aside from the clear and obvious inspiration from I want you (She's so heavy) by The Beatles, what other influences can you hear in FoTS, regardless of if it was intentional or coincidence?

Personally in the third movement, I hear Pink Floyd's 'Brain Damage' and kind of the rhyming schemes of Syd Barrett.

The guitar and piano in the first movement also remind me of The Animals' version of House of the Rising Sun.

Do any legitimate F91W watches have vertical caseback brushing?

I didn't want to post this on r/Casio for fear of it being mistaken as a post about if my watch is real.

I'm curious as to why there is so much disagreement about Casio brushing on casebacks.

I love the goofy stuff old versions of TNO pull.

This isn't a bug report. This is from an old version.

Home page of the Hafajistan independence forums.

This is an update to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistory/comments/1u1ot71/the_national_and_war_flags_of_hafajistan_as_well/

Through the 17th and 18th centuries, an exodus of ethnic Mughals living under British and French rule to Central Asia took place. While the exiles initially were welcomed by the local Okani people, tensions began to rise between 'pure' Okanis and the new generation of mixed Mughal-Okani people. This culminated in several battles and rebellions taking place throughout the mid 18th century, culminating in the creation of the Emirate of Hafajistan in 1771.

Initially, the emirate survived quite well, with a so-called 'golden age' lasting through much of the 19th century. Unfortunately, Hafaji land soon came under the control of foreign empires, being carved up by the Brits, the Russians, and the Afghans.

Russian forces and settlers were recalled from Hafaji territory following the Empire's collapse at the hands of the German Empire and the Marxist revolutionaries through 1917-19. At the same time, British forces were expelled as Hafajistan and Afghanistan fought side-by-side during the Third Anglo-Afghan War.

Compared to the Graveyard of Empires, Hafajistan was small and lacked the same level of natural protection that Afghanistan boasted. As a result, the nation came under Soviet control in the 1920s.

In 1948, the USSR collapsed at the hands of the Paris-Warsaw Axis, leaving the Hafaj SSR to its own devices. The communist regime fell after a soft coup by then prime minister Ahmad Abdullah Khan in 1949. The nation continued through hardships and international isolation due to global disinterest in Central Asia as the Cold War ramped up with major wars fought in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia.

Ahmad Abdullah Khan promoted himself to President for life of his new fledgling republic in 1952. His son, Idris Ahmadzadah would rule with an iron fist from his father's death in 1957 until the Russian invasion in 1975. During this time, Ahmadzadah would seek investments from the United States and National Republic of Poland, modernizing the nation at the cost of heritage and personal freedoms of the tightly-nit people.

1968 saw the re-unification of Russia under Miletiy Zykov, a former Intermarium collaborator who defected to the Neo-White Army settlements in the 1950s in the Urals after Poland and Ukraine began to further their corporate interests in the land of Muscovy under the guise of anti-communist measures.

Zykov and many other former collaborators sought to expunge communism and foreign occupation in Russia by their own methods. While initially isolated as he took power over the White Army and West Russia in the early 1960s, his Russia saw an ally in the United States, which supplied him with money and weapons as they furthered their own battle against communism and European imperialism globally.

During the Oil Crisis, a socialist revolution gripped Iran. In order to protect itself from communist influence, the Russian army as well as a significant number of American volunteers invaded Central Asia. Russian backed regimes were set up in the area, and after a long war in Hafajistan and Afghanistan, Hafajistan was carved up.

As of 2002, Hafajistan remains occupied by Russian puppets. The Hafaj National Liberation Front, a network of militant organizations fighting for their nation's independence continues a struggle against Russia and the US. While praised for local charity work and reconstruction of the nation's infrastructure, the network is considered a terror group by many, and remains extremely controversial globally.

How likely is death via mycotoxins by eating mouldy bread, and where is a better place to post this?

I may or may not have accidentally eaten half of a long pretzel bun thingy which was contaminated with mould, some of which I unknowingly consumed...

Regardless, this has me wondering how likely death is from this cause, and generally how many people die annually from complications related to spoiled food.

Why does GA-2100 say '5590' on diagnostic screen, while the module is 5611?

I know my watch and others I see are original. I'm asking why they do this.

Why does the circled seam not appear on some GW-M510u watches, while it does in pictures?

This isn't a QC post, but I am curious about this.

The caseback on this model, specifically the 'CASIO' text looks off to me. I've circled suspicious areas. I am unable to get a higher quality image. No manuals or boxes to show.

On the topic of 'RYM-core'

I've seen a lot of posts lately talking about RYM-core, and what it means. For instance, a comment I saw stated the opinion that a music taste is less 'RYM-core' if it isn't liking said albums for performance only. What's your take on this? How RYM-core are my 10/10 albums?

F91w check?

Seam connecting two pieces has a somewhat sharp edge. Watch doesn't beep. I'm not sure if it did before I opened it up to check the battery/movement. I don't have the manuals/box. Alarm/chime not working.

Sharp edges on resin case.

Upon the cases of my AE-1000, F-91w, and GWM-5610u (all of which, by other standards are confirmed genuine, save the F91w's potentially suspicious caseback font for the word 'Casio') are a sharp seam where the two pieces of material which make up the case are held together.

According to several sources, this indicates a fake. Aside from this and what I mentioned about the F91, everything seems legit. What's up? Are they genuine.
