Thanks Bill. It's great to be back to normality. The family had a great holiday, although my wife and daughters don't seem as happy to be back as I do :D
Thank you SO much for that video! I just received my GM-2100 today and was (as a total newbie to watches) surprised that regular 16mm bands are useless (size). I do like the full-polished-silver metal look, but I definitely prefer a leather band most of the time, since it just feels more comfortable I spent the day researching and only found info about the metal-band modding kits and stuff like that. Thanks to your video, I can now get my GM-2100 with leather bands, as well as metal (whenever I feel like it). Thank you so very much! ❤
100 billion times more comfortable. The original strap for me was terrible and a complete let down. This makes it the perfect version of this watch. Thanks for watching WoW
Thanks for the video and explanations provided... one thing i wished you had done was to have tried both variants on your wrist and provided your thoughts on which of the two straps felt the more comfortable.... Comfort is a big thing for me and will often be my deciding factor...
Great video. I've just added this exact same watch to my small collection. Sadly can't seem to find these adapters, spotted a few other comments saying they dont post to the UK anymore. Shame as these looked a nice fit and easy to swap 😞.
Yes, I reached out to them and they've stopped posting to the UK. I just had a quick search on Ebay for "casio lug adapter" and there's plenty of others out there (both plastic and metal)
I love those new straps, and the lug adapters look super easy. G-Shock Canada has the GA-B2100 in stock, so I'll have to pick one up. Thanks for the info!
Love this! I've been wanting to buy that exact watch but the straps put me off a bit too. That nylon strap looks proper cool! Thanks for the vid and links!
Thanks for watching Adam. I think this really completes this watch and takes it to the next level. Glad to hear you enjoyed the content. Stay safe brother
Im following this mod, i like the way it looks with the nylon strap even though I don't mind the original straps it comes with.. i have to say tho.. 24 dollars for those tiny adapters hurts.. that's a really steep price for such a tiny part.
Great video! Very informative and amazing production. You have some great content. I have the same watch, adapters, and a Crown and Buckle NATO on the way. Can’t wait until Saturday. I agree that JaysandKays makes some great adapters. I have a few on some other gshocks too. I will also check out those Archer straps in the future. Cheers!
Thanks Rossta. I appreciate the kind words. I like to put in as much effort as possible and always try to make the type of content that I enjoy watching. The CasiOak is a brilliant watch to update and play around with especially with great stuff from JaysandKays. I might get a few more Archer straps to play out with some of my other watches. Have an awesome week buddy
Great video glad you shared this.. It's something I might consider doing although I don't dislike the original strap as much as you do. My only complaint is I wish you showed the canvas strap on your wrist
Hello, thanks for the content. Help please. Can you send me the exact link to the 'Hard Resin Lug Adapters' you are using as i can't find them (only find metal Janys and Kays). Can you get them from the UK? Crazy post from USA. Any help would be great.
I've found them however only the metal versions. I'm not 100% sure, however, I'm guessing they may have stopped making them resin adapters. The other option would be to check somewhere like Ali Express. Search for 'GA-2100 strap adapter' or GA-2100 strap lug'... something like that and I'm sure you'll find some. You're right though, postage to the UK is criminal
Excellent video! Please forgive the dumb question, I noticed you went from 16mm to 22mm. but can this be done going from 16mm to 20mm, or does j and k not offer the adaptor in that configuration?
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I think 22mm is the sweet spot most of these adapters go with. It's mail as the lines off the face of the watch fits a 22mm band. The other option would be to find a tapering band.
They're great in the water and work just as well. The only slight problem is the hold water. I don't take my watch off whilst showering or swimming so you do find the straps stays wet for maybe an hour or so. It's no biggie, but it's definitely something you get used to :D
Great review, going to do the same now on my Yellow, one question, are the adaptors a good fit?. I purchased the earlier ones from these guys and there was a big gap between the adaptor and watch body.
@@MoorlanderEDC Just ordered today the Jaykay adaptors, will take a while to arrive but happy to do that on my Yellow one when it arrives. Love your review by the way
Hi, great video and nice watch :) I'd love to do this to mine although unable to find somewhere to buy Jays and Kays in the UK, assuming you're in the UK from the accent, where abouts were you able to get these from? Cheers
Hi James. Thank you for the kind words. Yes buddy, definitely in the UK. I bought mine from eBay. The postage isn't bad. Take just over a week to arrive. I've recently bought another set for a different watch. Highly recommended
After a few months of making this content they just have US sales. I reached out to them and showed them my comments section as proof of the demand outside of the US.
I haven't had that issue myself however I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I didn't realise they did metal version as I'd always had the plastic versions. Hopefully they've had feedback and it's something they're addressing. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@MoorlanderEDC I didn't even know they had plastic versions. mine appears to be metal. feels like metal and can see the silver underneath the paint where it scratches off.
They are yes to some degree. I can definitely say I've never dropped my from 10 meters and needed the shock absorbing qualities of the strap as Casio test them 🤣
Hi MrMods. The adapter is the GA-2100 adapter. It's the same as the GA-B2100 as they're essentially the same watch. Hope that helps... Unless they're out of stock and then they'll have them back online soon I guess
Hi Arnold. I've had a quick look on Amazon and there seemed to be plenty of other people making them. I've only ever bought from Jays and Kays so I can't voucher for the others, sorry. I guess if you check the reviews they should help. Yes, on the 22mm side. That's what it's converted to. If it's any different it should say in the product name or description. I hope that helps buddy
Hey Dennis, I don't think they do buddy. You could always message them on social media and see if it's something they'd consider doing in the future. I think with resins and plastics it's very hard to match colour ways when making third part stuff... whereas black is black so they're easier to colour match. There's other companies out there making them if you search on Google. I hope that helps buddy
Hi Erik, I hope you're well and having a great week. I have to say the yellow version looks amazing. It was the other colour I originally toyed with getting. The yellow/black face cover is really easy to remove and replay. When you look at the lugs on the top and bottom you'll see those 4 screws (2 top left and right, and two bottom left and right). Those four screws hold the resin face protector. If you unscrew them you'll be able to lift it off. You might have to lift it slightly at the side to make sure it comes over the buttons. This is another ease option to change the looks and there's a lot of third party covers out there, even some really nice high quality CNC milled metal covers. Removing the screws doesn't option the cassette/module where the internal are house so you can do this without any worry of damaging or losing anything from inside. I think that's also why this has become one of Casio's most popular watch in the modding community Instagram has some amazing images on there too - instagram.com/thecasioak/
Hi Imran. The GA-2100 and GA-B2100 both fit the same lug adapter my friend. Even though I have the GA-B2100 I bought the GA-2100 adapter to fit on mine. I hope that helps Have a great weekend
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you very much for this. Excellent video too. But I am asking about the GM-2100 which is the one in metal casing. So the adapter will not be in the blue colour although it should fit as it’s essentially the same model.
Hi Imran, so sorry, completely read you message wrong at first. I'll have a look around to see if I can fit any out there. They should be the same however there'll definitely be the colour issues
Hey BagiLaci. Yes they should do. As long as you have the right lug width then any of the quick release or even none quick release bars will work. Since getting these, I've bought other 22mm straps and they all work perfectly ✌️ I hope that helps
Morning Peter. Yes, the adapter is a male 16mm into the watch head and a female 22mm opening for the strap. I suppose the width between the lugs and the width of the strap are the same measurement. Is that what you meant?
Hi there. Do you mean the watch or the straps? If its the watches then there'll be plenty of colours soon enough. The original GA-2100 is now available in plenty of colours so the GA-B2100 will have more colours soon... Oh wait... Did you mean the lug adapters? Yeah, they need to do a few more colours.
They're called 'lug adapters' and I get mine from an American company called Jays & Kays. I found mine through eBay or through Etsy. I hope that helps my friend
With the continued popularity of the Casioak I can foresee this video being relevant for decades, literally. Thanks a bunch :)
Hopefully 😂 it's my UA-cam retirement fund
Nice video mate! I just got into g-shocks and love that you can do stuff like this.
Agreed. There's a massive mossing community of there for Gs. Some of the guys in Japan make real Gucci watches
Glad to see you back. Hope you had a great vacation.
Thanks Bill. It's great to be back to normality. The family had a great holiday, although my wife and daughters don't seem as happy to be back as I do :D

That strap looks way more comfortable than the original one, which I find really hard even after a few months of wearing it.
100 billion times more comfortable. The original strap for me was terrible and a complete let down. This makes it the perfect version of this watch. Thanks for watching WoW
Welcome home. Was expecting to see you a bit more tanned or more likely a lot more red. 😁
Thanks for another great review.
Day too away I got over confident and burnt in the pool. I was like a cherry for a few days. When will I ever learn 😅
I ordered one of their adaptors last week!
Great minds think alike 😅 I've had quite a lot from them in the past and swear by them. I'd love to hear your thoughts when yours arrive. All my best
Thanks for the video and explanations provided... one thing i wished you had done was to have tried both variants on your wrist and provided your thoughts on which of the two straps felt the more comfortable.... Comfort is a big thing for me and will often be my deciding factor...

A few people have mentioned I should have put them both on. I'd been noted for future content my friend 👍
@@MoorlanderEDC I bought it anyway..still looked cool enough to convince me lol

see nylon or nato straps like water proof or good with water like the stock band or a silicone band would be?

After a few months of making this content they just have US sales. I reached out to them and showed them my comments section as proof of the demand outside of the US.
been using this awhile..my complaint is jays and kays could use better paint..scratches off a little too easily

@@MoorlanderEDC I didn't even know they had plastic versions. mine appears to be metal. feels like metal and can see the silver underneath the paint where it scratches off.
Are the g-shock straps not part of the design to help protect the watch if dropped?
They are yes to some degree. I can definitely say I've never dropped my from 10 meters and needed the shock absorbing qualities of the strap as Casio test them 🤣
@@MoorlanderEDC haha, yeah if it falls from that height I’d assume you’d be wearing it and in that case it won’t matter what strap is on it 😂☠️
@@hezzy2813 Turning up the Pearly gates of Heaven with a nicer strap than the original 😆
@@MoorlanderEDC 😂😂😂.
Hi, I can't find the specific adaptors for the GA-b2100 through the link... Could you possibly post a link for the adaptors? Great review.. Thanks
Hi MrMods. The adapter is the GA-2100 adapter. It's the same as the GA-B2100 as they're essentially the same watch. Hope that helps... Unless they're out of stock and then they'll have them back online soon I guess

Hi Victor. My guess would be yes, however if you check the Jays and Kays site, they will tell you if they fit for sure. Thanks for watching
Great review, did you use adapter for AE1200 AE1300? I don't find the black color adapter for GA-2100
Hi there, no I managed to get the GA-2100 adapters. I'd check with J&Ks to see if they fit. They're pretty fast at responding on social media
@@MoorlanderEDC I bought one of their adapter. Watch looks great !!!
Hey work with CASIO G-SHOCK GA-2100SKE-7AER ? thanks

Hey mate, what mm straps did you get for your gab2100?
The ones this adapter works with are 22mm straps.
Jays and kays won't sell to UK from ebay at the minute. They are blaming the Royal Mail strikes
Hi Pete, I've noticed they've stopped. Fingers crossed they start up again
Funny that we changed strap same day with the same type of watch with the same adapters (jaysandkays) =D However i went for a 5 ring Zulu (grey PVD)
Petta my friend... Great minds think alike 😆
where did you get the jayson cays adaptor?
I bought mine from their Etsy store. I think they're also available on their eBay store as well. Hope that helps
Do you know an adapter for GMS2100? I need one.
I believe they do. Not 100% sure though
Do they make different colors of these adapters? I have the dark blue casioak..
Hey Dennis, I don't think they do buddy. You could always message them on social media and see if it's something they'd consider doing in the future.

You're more than welcome Erik. Have an awesome weekend
@@MoorlanderEDC I wonder if the original GA2100 bezel will fit, my understanding is the new version is around 1mm bigger?
Will those straps work on thr gm2100
They should do. It's more about the adaptor as it allows any 22mm strap to work
Sorry found it at Jays
Kay’s. Is a different adapter needed for GM-2100?
Hi Imran. The GA-2100 and GA-B2100 both fit the same lug adapter my friend. Even though I have the GA-B2100 I bought the GA-2100 adapter to fit on mine. I hope that helps

@@imranhusain1657 Did you ever find out if the adapter works for the GM as well?
You have inserted the strap up side down 😂
Ha ha ha.. I noticed in editing and hoped nobody would notice. I think of all GShock watch faces, this is the easiest one to do wrong by accident 😅
@@MoorlanderEDC No worries! It happens.
So do jaysandkays adapters work with all quick release straps?
Hey BagiLaci. Yes they should do. As long as you have the right lug width then any of the quick release or even none quick release bars will work. Since getting these, I've bought other 22mm straps and they all work perfectly ✌️ I hope that helps
@@MoorlanderEDC thanks mate, that helped a great deal. Cool video by the way. Subscribed! 😎
the buckle piece should be on the top and long strap on the bottom
Ha ha ha... Yep, school boy error here 😂
The first thing I noticed that the first of the two straps was mounted upside down and then I looked in comments if anyone else has noticed.. 😁
Wrong way round.. if you are right handed/ wear your watch on your left wrist.
100% agree. That's the proper way to do it. Apologies if I slipped up and said the other way around
What jacket is that?
Hi Tyler, that beauty if the Helikon Tex Rogue hoodie. Very nice in deed - ua-cam.com/video/0-8ul8lR0hc/v-deo.html
I have huge ape wrists... 8.5 inches... So another wrist band is mandatory... 😎
Hey ZZ, yes sir, that's almost a belt size there. I can imagine finding a watch band is a nightmare
I have the same problem. Finding an XL strap is impossible
lug width 22 mm?
Morning Peter. Yes, the adapter is a male 16mm into the watch head and a female 22mm opening for the strap. I suppose the width between the lugs and the width of the strap are the same measurement. Is that what you meant?
@@MoorlanderEDC thank you very much. Yes just curious what size strap. Helpful video, well done.
