This is one for all the Casio fans. Using parts supplied by SKXmod, I turn an everyday CasiOak (Casio GA-2100 Oak) into a full metal version of itself.

12:00 Future Shane's Thoughts - Jak na to + styl
A couple of things to note:
1. It looks like there is a new version of the case without the crown. Which is they way I would go, fake crown is pointless.
2. Not every mod part is compatible with the newer Solar / Bluetooth version of the CasiOak. The GA-B2100. SKXmod can tell you more but pay attention when ordering if that's what you want to mod out.
"Which is the way I would go, fake crown is pointless"
Totally agree. Another brand has already a 'crownless' version out and it looks awesome. If I remember correctly your fellow CZcamsr from Down Under Peter Kotsa has a video on that one.
I also modded my (black) Royale, the same way you did, only I went for the rubber strap.
In reply to one of my remarks on their instructive video (on youtube) they wrote a milled clasp could be in there for the future. Something I applaud: Given I've got two AE1200's, I might go for that mod on my silver one.
They also make so called face plates for the Royale: I suggested they leave out the mentioning: '10 year battery'. In my opinion that is something you write on the packaging, but not on the watch itself. I think Casio made a cosmetic mistake there and in my opinion this is one of the things mods should allow for: correcting design flaws.
If you agree, please tell 'em 🙂. They probably listen to you rather than me, a simple consumer without a youtube channel.
When I say 'they', I 'm not even sure I'm talking to a robot or a human being: Their (or its??) English isn't exactly exemplary
Anyway, thank you for the effort put in this video
Best regards
Actually the older versions don't have the crown. Gen 4/5 have the crown.
I like it. Definitely the dial is needed to complete the look, unlike other mod kits. It looks great on the rubber strap.
Thanks very much for the review. Learned lots of good information
I haven't see anyone completely happy with those modes for the oaky, I'm patiently waiting, I might just do lume chapter ring and hands, thanks Shane
Happy Holidays, Shane, Keep em coming!
Thanks! Happy holidays and a Happy New Year to you too.
The look with the new textured dial is cool but you're right that without the branding the dial just seems too unbalanced. But the weight on bracelet to me would be the problem. That's getting up to Seiko Samurai weight. I would only do the basic case mod, leaving the dial alone and use the rubber strap.
My Casio Royale mod is good for me.
Hello from Oz. I’ve just bought the Bluetooth version with the intension of doing the same mod. Your video has helped me confirm the choice of the stainless case with black bezel and black fmk rubber strap. And I also see there is a version without the crown. Cheers.
Great list Jody. I have to add the SNKP23 Recraft. I own the blue dial variant and I wear it often. Great day/date auto with retro rectangular case. Looking for an Arnie at a good price next. Cheers!
Looks great. The whole Casioak modability is just awesome!
It’s a puffer! Not to be confused with a Fluffer!
That textured dial is absolutely perfect! Like that you used the rubber strap. Question, any idea how I could find someone that mods Casioaks? I picked up the GA2100 stealth snd although I love the blacked out look, it's way too damn hard to read. I just need the hands changed out... If anyone can offer some guidance, I'd much appreciate it!
Agree something needs to fill in that negative space where the branding should be. Maybe they could offer custom logos? Also, could you install the case without that useless extra caseback? Make it a bit lighter and thinner maybe?
Great video, mods not for me would go for a metal version of the std case & a bracelet At the moment I’m happy with just putting a composite bracelet on the std case.
Hello Do you think with the new oak
mod case it becomes even bigger on the wrist?
Hey, what's the watch on your wrist ? (Silver & yellow) looks great!
That is the Zelos Spearfish GMT. Bumblee colorway.

@@RelativeTime thank you Shane :)
It's called an aspirator bulb.
what do u think about putting a white waffle dial on the same mod (i go with the black rubber band and silver and black case as well)?
should i put black hands? thx
I think it would look good, but youd probably want black hands otherwise they might get lost in the dial.
Thx for ur opinion!
Forgot to say that it was a great upload! Cant wait moding my ga2100
can somebody show me ,how to change button from stainless steel to black? Of gab2100
Putting the movement back in one or more of the pusher wouldn't work. Adjusting the movement I broke the light off, on 2 watches. Any suggestions...😢
One two watches? That doesn't sound good. Maybe ask SKX mod, they are more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to moding.
Ou acheter le skx mode pleasse thanks you
U may that more Difficult! Then it had to be.
just wearing your new spearfish eh
The yellow is hard not to notice.
Hi i really do not see the point in moding these watches you bye them original for what they are just great watches tough and 200m water resistant messing with them reduces all this.as always a great watch.
It really does defeat the purpose of these watches... Yet oftentimes modding isn't a logical thing. In fact you often loose money when you mod a watch, as most people won't want to buy it after some amateur has tinkered it. Most of the times moders love to do it, just to do it.
@@RelativeTime hi, I just have 2 questions. Does the tool that you used to replace the hands come with the mod kit and does the kid impact water resistance?
@@m_xx989 I believe they sell the tools, but they aren't included when you just buy the hands. As for water resistance, it's a tricky question. Anytime you touch the inside of a watch, you are potentially impacting the water resistance. Even just changing out a battery. If you don't put the seal back right, it impacts it. So always be wary of that.
Now officially SKXmod doesn't test water resistance with their modded parts, but I'd be surprised if it affects it too much. As you are using the same seal and case back that came with the watch. So personally I wouldn't worry about it in day-to-day use, or the occasionally dip in the pool. But if you do frequently swim with that watch on, probably better to leave it stock.
@@RelativeTime thx, also really enjoyed the vid
idk where to get the tools
They should be able to sell some to you, otherwise, Amazon has some as well.
Interesting .. How much $$ ? Seasonal Greetings from The Hurunui New zealand.
Not my cup of tea I’m afraid. I like my GA2100 because on the resin it’s light, and comfortable to wear. I also don’t understand why the need to put a fake crown on the case. I also like that the GA2100 has the words “G Shock” and “Casio” on the dial.
The fake crown is a big fail. Just why???
It's an option. They sell them crownless.
I watched this because I enjoy your videos, however, I hate Casio with a passion
Any reason in particular?
Hi. I despise digital displays and resin. Have a nice Christmas
@@watchalot919 I feel you. I didn't like them as well. However after some years of collecting automatics I now have a solar box as well. I got some solar rc Casios. But dude especially have a look at some Citizen watches like the EcoZillas esp. the green one, AltiChron etc. They are heavy and look amazing. They only miss rc. With Casio they are mostly resin based. But f.i. you get the updated 5610u with solar and rc for 70€. I avoid the watches that don't have solar or rc but there are some retros like the A168 that are so cheap and look good. I wanna build a Ripley double A100 some time.
@@petergplus6667 I have quartz watches, that isn't the problem. I don't like digital displays or resin cases
