The dedication to making a great video is exemplary! The camerawork: managing zoom, exposure and focus to make sure everything is at best visibility possible the extra mile to take everything apart to show us absolutely all steps to assemble/disassemble, The patience to explain everything in due detail with all variables and tips you can muster make me wish I had more than one like to give
The first assembly, my thoughts were like "dude, the foam thingy, the foam thingy, where is the tiny little foam thingy?" You just gain a new subscriber here for the hard work, keep it going my man.
Top work. After seeing this video I've just ordered couple AE1200s. I'm going ship, along with the filter sheets to them in Canada. They can do this as a scence/physics project with their dad (hes an Aviation Engineer) as part of their home schooling during this current "lockdown situation " thanks for this idea. I'm looking forward to working my way though your other videos.
thank you, great tutorial, just inverted everything except the map and it tuned out great, eventhough the analog face is quite a bit darker than I imagined
A tip : when cutting the top layer of the display you might also put the polarizer on top to cut both in the same time to get perfect edges when applying the polarizer
39:08 - you could use a piece of tape to hold it in the right position, then flap it over, remove the backing, and flap it back, and it'll be perfectly aligned when it is adhered to the lcd.
As kids back in the early 80's we had great fun flipping over the digitiser in our Nintendo Game & Watch units to see how they looked, they looked weird!! LOL
Very nice mod. My preference would not be negative display for the upper left time display indicator. I would have made it all in amber. But, that is my taste... I ordered the all black model and a leather strap for it. The strap cost me almost as much as the watch. That model is a great deal for the price. Good for a general knock around type watch. Not expensive to replace if damaged while doing things around the house.
This is really cool & a excellent tutorial. Only thing maybe is if you put say a red or green filter over the clock, maybe would make the hands stand out more? And more visible, especially when not illuminated?
Thanks for the tip of pushing in the metal pushers to reboot the buttons. I had taken apart my g5600e but the light button was no longer working so tried your tip and put it all back together and it now all works! Cheers 👍
Great video. I will try this on my World Time. Have ever changed battery on Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF. This is a solar powered watch and I'm nervous to open a watch that I paid several hundred dollars for.
43:00 Looks like you're missing the contact leads (those dark "foam" strips) between the screen and board. 45:24 OK, it looks like you caught it. Thanks for the teardown. Very informative.
Dude I couldn't sleep, it was 3 AM in the morning and I seen a military green version of this watch for sale for 100 dollars but seen you could get the watch for just 30 dollars. I punched in the watch into youtube and seen your thumbnail for the video and got curious and watched the entire video from front to back. You truly are gifted, you make the process intriguing and easy to understand. Video quality audio quality, in depth of every variable out come, everything was very well thought through and it's noticeable. It seems you do well at anything you touch. I followed your instagram and will be purchasing one of your watches. Much love from the subarctic of Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ You're the man! Watch looks f***'in great bud!
Thanks Ben. I sell this type of modified Casio, as well as a few other modified Casios, on my sales page. It can be found on Instagram: @watch_n_carry_sales. All watches are made to order. Thanks
I swear, I've never heard someone shoehorn the word Sharpie into a conversation so many times! I would have just said "mark" after the first time but that's just me. 😆
Im aware that i have this problem, and honestly im trying to work on it with recent videos. If thats the only thing u took away from the video and took the effort to comment on, you're more annoying than me. But thats just me 😂
Something I would hqve done slightly different. Prior to dissasembling the module, take the polarizing film and orient it to obtain the negative effect and set it to the side in that orientation. This way once you have scored/removed the section of the original film, the new polarizing film is already oriented correctly and then apply your pattern/original film.
i like how comprehensive this was but are we not going to mention the huge blob of left of CA Fingerprint on the watch frame that happened when he grabbed it?
I have a quick question. If you want all negative except the map. Could you remove the entire top level and replace the portion on the map with amber ? And the rest with the polarizing film ?
Amazing, great video. I would have better luck trying to milk a bull wearing all red than doing the negative display, lol. The amber is cool and that I will do. Great video, your a guineas and probably a surgeon because your hands wear as steady as could be. Thank you for this amazing video.
@@watchncarry9593 Thank you for replying, I was going to spend a lot of money on those leather ones they make just for this watch but after seeing yours I changed my mind. I have the skxmod case so it won't scratch the case like the standard casio metal band. Thanks.
mistakes, errors are accepted, it makes part of learning better on how to deal with situations. I like the modification but if I did that to my AE1200- I may have to buy another to replace it. I like the yellow gel on part of the face, and I may just put a small green gel on the round clock part to make it look like radar screen.... thanks for the idea !
Good mod idea to start with. And a touch of green can really change the look. Btw, recommend NOT using superglue as i did here, and instead use doublesided sticky tape. I have a video of the tape and how to apply on my channel somewhere
@@watchncarry9593 I use EB9000 because if you mess up, you just peel it off and start all over- your video is very descriptive and to the point, thanks much, it gives me the confidence to open up my Casio and start to modulate !🙂
Is it possible to remove the vertical and the horizontal crosshair lines from the digi-analog display? To me they just make viewing so much worse. I get the center circle since the straight lines for hands couldn't fit there so instead of a visibility gap, it looks more natural to just have a black circle overlay. I get the outer ring line. But those crosshair lines are same thickness almost as the hands. I wish I could erase them.
Why use super glue for the color filter? The chance of messing it up is quite big and a tiny piece of tape will hold it in place just as good. The module presses against it after assembly so it's not going anywhere.
Hi, I’ve never seen any reviews or mods using the ae-1200 -BAV-1 w/ green map just picked one up for $18.00 my opinion super cool ! Like to see one w/ blue filter over map. What do say! Thank you:::Paul
Can you please tell me the case off this is metal like the metal strap of it or plastic fiber with silver colour and just written world time on it , i am confuse in buying black fibre model or this metal
Using glue is unnecessary. I lay my colered filter down in the case and then put the main display down inside, put the bezel on and screw it down tight. It has never moved even if I give the watch a hard flick. Somet😢I change it out two to three times a week.
bellissimo lavoro , se puoi dirmi dove come procurare i fogli filtranti colorati , me ne faccio uno subito ...grazie ..................INGLESE .......beautiful work, if you can tell me where to get the colored filter sheets, I'll make one right away ... thanks
You'll have to do it exactly like I did in the video. To get the negative screen effect, you have to remove part of the screen, replace it with polarizing film, and rotate that film 90 degrees to the right or left👍
Bro, I have a dumb question. How come you can't put the polarizing filter into the mask the way you do the amber filter and avoid disassembling the module?
You can peel the filter off, then clean the glue residue with q-tip and acetone. If you don't like this cleanup method, filters can also be installed using thin, double sided tape
You probably don't mod these Casios at all, or a lot. Buy a Casio from Amazon and I bet you itll arrive with a scratched caseback. Most of them arrive that way unfortunately. And note taken on cutting the filter. Hopefully you found something good or useful in the rest of the video
Yeah. You would remove the polarized filter you installed in this video, clean the glue residue, and install a new polarized filter, but orient it to make it a positive/ normal display

Really great video, def gave me the confidence I needed to start messing around!
Love that amber color. Love the Swiss Army Knife cameo!

i love the vintage lemon faced lcd watches, this mod is awesome
WoW. What an awesome video. And what a great job. Thank you so much for posting 🙏
Thanks for the kind words. Happy modding👍
thank you for sharing.. u answered my questions about why ur watch is different than the others.
tiny daps of rubber cement are much more forgiving and hold nicely with the ability to easily remove
A tip : when cutting the top layer of the display you might also put the polarizer on top to cut both in the same time to get perfect edges when applying the polarizer
Hi, a silver sharpie is going to be a future purchase! Thank you for your vids ! GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks. Mod on!
Ich habe es mir genau so umgebaut. Es sieht sooooo cool aus... Danke für die geile Idee und das sehr gute Video. Ich liebe meine neue Uhr. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It looks incredible with the amber color, I would have liked it in turquoise but it is beautiful
Was anybody else on edge we he was doing the cutting for the negative effect 😱

A Q-Tip - the very essence of a precision tool : ) Suggestion: Tooth picks will work for you on controlling the amount of glue.

I have three variations of this watch. one of my favorite watches love your work keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words
I want to do it the other way around, negative on most of the face, and yellow or blue on the "analog" part. Awsome look
That would be a cool look. Go for it!😁👍
It looks great. Nice job.
Thanks so much
Great job!

Looking at that watch, why do the hours keep changing every two seconds. Is that like a demo feature you can turn on or off?
I have a quick question. If you want all negative except the map. Could you remove the entire top level and replace the portion on the map with amber ? And the rest with the polarizing film ?
I love it. When you go to trace the new negative display couldn’t you just trace the one you cut out ?
I’ve seen some of these watches with moon mods in the analog clock display on Etsy, how do they do that?
Amazing, great video. I would have better luck trying to milk a bull wearing all red than doing the negative display, lol. The amber is cool and that I will do. Great video, your a guineas and probably a surgeon because your hands wear as steady as could be. Thank you for this amazing video.

why is the case back of the watch so scratched up? or is that some residue from something?
This watch has been used a lot, but a lot of the casebacks on these brand new Casios also come pretty scratched up from their factory.

Can you please tell me the case off this is metal like the metal strap of it or plastic fiber with silver colour and just written world time on it , i am confuse in buying black fibre model or this metal
The case is made out of resin/plastic. The bracelet is metal.

At 33:56, when he was wiping the screen, I saw on the display a colon and a letter c. From the side it looked like this emoticon :(
I would have just replace the whole polarizer, so I don't accidently cut the screen underneath.

Quick question, so once you super glue the filter on, is there a safe and effective way to remove said glued filter?
You can peel the filter off, then clean the glue residue with q-tip and acetone.
If you don't like this cleanup method, filters can also be installed using thin, double sided tape
Ohh okay. Thank you so much! Now I can finally try my first mod without too much fear :)
how come the back is already so scratched, you could have rotated and cut the yellow filter with less waste...
You probably don't mod these Casios at all, or a lot. Buy a Casio from Amazon and I bet you itll arrive with a scratched caseback. Most of them arrive that way unfortunately.
And note taken on cutting the filter.
Hopefully you found something good or useful in the rest of the video

Good question. Not sure to be honest

Is it possible to make a negative display into a positive ?
