    In one summer, I went from no watches to 5 Casios, from an AE1200 to a Casioak, from a Lineage M100 to an Oceanus T200, and my venerable blue Duro. And you, sir, and your videos and commentary have been there the whole way! Thanks for being awesome!!

    This mod looks fantastic! I’ve always wanted Casio to make a full metal Casio AE1200 and now that’s possible. When you consider the prices of the metal gshocks, just over $100-$120 is a great price for this watch and probably what Casio would price it at if they made it.

    Love it. They should either improve their bracelets or have the option of an fkm rubber strap, would be such a nice upgrade to the usual resin straps, always the first point of failure on the cheap casios.

    Hi Jody! Been subscribed for I don't even know how long, and I can't help liking this video. What a great modification for a fantastic watch. I love what this kit does for arguably one of my favorite watches. It doesn't stray too far from the original, except to clean it up and make it look like it should have been this way all along. I've had my eye on doing something like this to one of my 1200s for a while, but the finances just never quite seem to allow it. Anyway, as usual, great vid, great presentation and a great modification to give away to two lucky subscribers!

    When you think about it, this will do almost everything the GMWB5000 metal G Shock will. It’s got 5 alarms, dual time, timer, stopwatch, incredible backlight, etc. The only things it’s really missing are the Bluetooth/Multiband 6 and the Solar power. The GMWB5000 is $550-$600. This comes to $125 without the bracelet and ~$175 with the bracelet and, I think, will be reasonably tough and be able to handle a nothing 99% of us will use it for. I think that’s a steal.

    That’s a really cool watch. Loved the video. I’ve never had a Casio but this looks like something I’ll be adding to the collection. The mod really makes a big difference.

    Love it, I just pick this watch up a week ago and then you dropped this vid! Great timing !!

    Fantastic video J!!! Live every one, and you're right! The fun of modding is in the building of it yourself!
