Let's talk G-Shocks, ProTreks, and other Casio's

[Split-Time]

When I end up buying an Oceanus which one of you three (or four) should I tell my wife is to blame? [mention]PetWatch[/mention] [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention] and [mention]Sussa[/mention] .

I’m only partially kidding because I have though about one from time to time, but anytime I read about the finishing it gets in my head.

I'll take the heat. They wouldn't have been able to plant the seed if I hadn't opened the farm.

Blame it on this guy dust and all, but there are many to choose from. Pics don't do it justice.

Someone at the GTG did buy the Oceanus Manta Ladies version after seeing my OCW-S100. Would Mrs. Split Time be happier if it's a couples set?

That’s cool.
I think Mrs. split-time would be happier if I just stopped looking around here!

Now you're just talking foolishness.

Casio has a number of transparent G-Shocks being released (some info from G-Central here), including yet another new "CasiOak", model GA2100SKE-7A. Casio product page here.

Presently in stock at Macy's. Was able to add to cart. They wouldn't allow me to use their email signup discount code -- said it didn't qualify. I confess I was only going for the deal.

Update: now showing me OOS -- YMMV.

So I lost one of the tiny springs under the LCD in a DW6900 while attempting a positive display mod. Probably should have never removed the display, but I had trouble getting a blade underneath the polarizer until I did so. Was putting it back together only to see the spring fly off into the rug somewhere.

Any place to get replacement conductor springs like this? I think it's the one that powers the backlight, but am not sure.

Wonder if a cheapo Casio digital will have the same springs...

I have no idea if they are at all similar to the piezo speaker spring for the beep and alarm, but I've replaced those by cutting down a spring from a retractable pen.

Other than that or harvesting from another watch, maybe PacParts would have it? https://www.pacparts.com/library/default.cfm?mfg=Casio

These things are multiple sizes smaller than a pen spring. Talk about the tip of a sharpened set of tweezers. I think my tweezers were magnetized a bit which caused the mishandle on my part.

I checked with pacparts not long ago to see if they sold modules, and I don't think they really can sell internal parts. They referred me to Casio.

I'm still checking my floor with a magnet, but I have little hope...

Not the same module, but see the tiny springs he takes off here with the display about the 5:20 mark?



I watched a couple of vids on F91W's, and they don't seem to have these springs. So I'll just set up a search for a "for parts" watch on ebay. Or write off the watch.

[MoT]

Yikes.

Yeah, unless you cannibalize another watch I think you may be up the creek.

Interesting piece on what seems to be a professional watch modder who's working on GA-2100's.

Sorry to go off on a non-Casio tangent, but you should check out the artist's IG page. Some simple but amazing work. My favourite is when someone got a GS SBGX259 customized (a $2.2k watch) .

NAD but holy **** I want this:
