Wow, looks like Casio will be releasing the solid gold G-Shock that they showed in Basel 2015. The original watch, known as the Dream Project watch is a once off G-Shock based on the GW-5000-1.

From the photograph above, it looks like the watch has a new module. It looks like it does not have the bluetooth capabilities of the GMW-B5000TFC-9 or the GMW-B5000GD-9. It is important to note that both these watches are ion-plated gold and is not solid gold.
