The Brazilian bezels are not perfect but still better than nothing.

NOS bezels are almost out of production and sold out last year after making a brief appearance on ebay.

The quality is inferior to casio bezels.

No, aftermarket. You can't find a NOS since the early 90's. Casio wasn't expecting right after the 5600 that G-Shocks would become collectables, so they didn't plan much ahead in terms of spare parts. They thought that with the new releases people would simply trade their watches if the resin got wasted, so they just didn't have that many spares produced. The interesting fact is that more then probably a good aftermarket resin would outlast an original one because of the composition of the PU resin - that's why modern resin will last longer then the original ones.

You'll notice that there's a slight variation of quality among the many suppliers, but basically they're all good.

who does also supply these bezels for the DW-5600 C?

I only know the brazilians in Ebay.

There are at least two "suppliers" (factories?) that I know of that make these bezels, and they're then distributed to the eBay and local sellers. This started out in the early 90's when Casio had a factory here and produced G parts (not bezels, though), but then closed up shop. With the still high demand (the 5600 was immensely popular here) somebody made a mold and started producing them for the aftermarket.

More then probably. If anyone else has these bezels it's because they imported them from Brazil.
Unless, of course, somebody else made a mold and started making them.
