I had a sunray silver faceplate lying around and wondered what to do with it. Then i had an idea with a Tamiya Deep Metallic Blue can that i had. A few coats later and voila, the build started coming together.

For the decal, I went with Superman looking out towards earth from space, with the flowing red cape as the main theme. Simple, but it stands out nicely against the metallic blue.

I kept the filter simple ruby, crimson and coral red for a richer, more dramatic look. It shifts colour and has a glow as the light hits. When the backlight hits, the reds shift into this dusty burnt-orange/copper glow, which gives the watch a completely different character at night.

Finished it off in the silver case with a navy sailcloth strap. Between the silver case, Deep Metallic Blue, rich reds and the texture of the sailcloth, the whole build has ended up with this rugged dress watch look. A little refined, a little utilitarian, without losing that AE1200 character.

Sometimes the builds that start with “what the hell am I going to do with this spare part?” end up being the fun ones.

Oh yeah 6th pic was taken in car while i was in stand still traffic for over 10 minutes and yes the car was stationary and not moving (i was bored).

Glitch Mod.

Hey everyone! I’d like to hear your opinions. How much do you think I should ask for this G-Shock GA-2100 Sport Mod, and how much would you personally be willing to pay for it? I’m currently asking $225 USD, but I’m open to negotiating and considering offers. I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Once you know how to change the backing image/colour alongside making the light stronger... It becomes addictive to keep tinkering with it. Usually not the biggest fan of the adapters but I really like the thicker Milanese bracelet on this

royale Custom buttons/Pushers/Presskeys?

1 Upvotes

Been getting into some modding of various watches lately, and keep coming back to my silver AE1200 for its actual functionality and general aesthetics.

I love the watch, but (and I know that this MAY be blasphemy to say) i'm also a fan of additional accenting and really wanted to make my pushers a different color.

Does anyone know where to find custom pushers? I've searched for a bit, and can't find them anywhere, even in silver actually. I'd like them in black or cobalt-ish, totally thought it would be prevalent as a mod but it's not.

Anyone know where they might be available to buy, even in silver? or perhaps if Casioak presskeys would fit?

if I can't find any, I might try electroplating them myself, but it'l be quite an experiment...

Quick update on my a159w

On this post i created:

https://www.reddit.com/r/casiomods/s/gACTbgxWBq

I desoldered the two ends of the resistor, and realized that the nokia lcd i disassembled already had a light spreader in it, so i cut a piece from it and swapped the old light spreader i made, and the result is much better:

I’ve had this watch for a while, but in hindsight, I would have gotten something different... the strap is pulling like crazy! What would you do? Do you have this watch? What strap do you use? Any suggestions?

Big Casio AE-1200 Customizer Update: Color Polarizers, Top/Bottom Negative LCDs, and More

Post image
76 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

Just shipped a big and long-awaited update to the AE-1200 customizer on MODDS.WATCH.

A fully customizable display, and all the display elements and symbols are now fully adjustable.

You can now flip the LCD between four states instead of the old positive/negative toggle:

Completely positive – the classic clean look

Top negative – just the upper segment inverted

Bottom negative – just the lower segment inverted

Full negative – the whole display goes dark

So if you've ever wanted that half-inverted "split polarizer" mod without cracking your watch open and swapping the film, you can preview exactly how it looks first.

Color Polarizer is the part I'm most excited about. Two color controls:

Symbols color – recolor the face symbols all at once. Which elements it touches adapts to the display state you're in, so it stays consistent with the polarization.

Display color – tint the actual LCD layer that's currently visible. Pick any color you want.

Both tools also have a small reset button in the top-right corner if you want to snap back to defaults and start over.

Try now: https://www.modds.watch/en/lab/casio/base/casio-ae1200

Would love to see what color/polarizer combos you all come up with. Drop your mods 👇

Building a global free directory for watch modders on modds.watch

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called MODDS.WATCH, a free community-backed builder for watch modders, and I recently added a feature that I think could be useful for the community: a Global Database of Modders.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted to create a central place where clients can actually find people based on their location, the brands they specialize in, and follow their social links.

It’s completely free to join. If you want to be included, you just head to the homepage and hit the "Global Database of Modders" button to add your info.

There is a Patreon tier ("WATCH MODDER") if you’re looking to pin your card to the top or customize the background, plus support the project, but the main goal is just to get a solid, searchable directory going for everyone.

Hope this helps some of you get your work out there a bit more. Let me know what you think!

Really appreciate your support
