As a Italian Member of the Comando-G i’m going to present to you my new modding … a great one for me… 
after asking many questions about the well known Casio DW-5600E Mil-Shock … and after retrieving many info , measures of this timepiece…and knowing that Countycomm no longer has this watch in production , I started a personal project thinking at the right way to make one of this Mil-Shock by myself …

The first Mil-Shock produced had the red lettering on it… but after they continued to produce it with normal letters due to the avaiability of watches… so i decided to practice the modding on a standard DW-5600E.

The specs of the Mil-shock produced by Countycomm i’ve found online (courtesy of Broadarrow.net) :
CASIO MIL-SHOCK - SOPMOD Watch
Special Operations Peculiar Modification
These Casio G-Shocks have been specially modified to better conform to military specification. A number of these have been provided by request to members of the COALITION JOINT TASK FORCE 180 (Afghanistan), and are now undergoing T&E for broader issuance to U.S. Military forces.
- All incoming watches are inspected for accuracy, water resistance, proper function, battery performance and cosmetic appearance.
- The case of the watch is machined to allow a MIL-S 46383B TYPE 3 20mm band with blackened stainless steel buckle to replace the factory hard plastic band. These nylon bands have a melting point of 482 degrees F making them suitable for aviators. The band also stays flexible down to -20 degrees for winter operations.
- Wimpy chrome plated brass Spring bars have been replaced with solid stainless steel pins that won’t rot out no matter how much salt, sweat and dust they are subjected to.
- Includes a original copy of the 8"X11" Operator’s Guide Book as provided to the U.S. Naval Weapons Laboratory, Virginia
The standard features of this watch include:
Shock resistant (G-Shock) · Electro-luminescent backlight · 1/100 second stopwatch Measuring capacity: 23:59 59:99" Measuring mode: net time, split time, 1st-2nd place times · Daily alarm · Hourly time signal · Regular timekeeping: hour, minute, second, am/pm, date, day · Auto-calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2039) · 12/24 hour formats · Accuracy: ± 30 seconds per month · Battery: Approx. 2 years on CR2016
Now it’s time to build it with 20mm nato straps and fixed lugs.I read online that the producer had a special guide to drill the lugs and a special tool or shape to make the process of drilling and milling the case of the watch automated and easy to do.

Sooo… after damaging a DW-5600E that i had in my drawer … i found a used DW-5600E case .At this point i choose to build a stamp using the old watch in order to get the holes that i would have to drill into it in the desired position and in a straight and simmetrical place…
A friend of mine helped me into building the special mold with reference holes in it … and then i used it to drill the holes … later i completed the process of trimming the case using a dremel and others tool and in the end i think i built a Mil-Shock very close to the original… objouvsly this one isn’t one built by countycomm… but hey… i did it because there’s no luck to find one of the original online for sale … so i give it a try …
Now there’s some pictures to clarify how i did it.
