Casio DW5600C Refurbishment.

In this video I show you how to retrofit a DW5600E band and Bezel to fit your Vintage Square G-Shock. Casio has their restoration program currently so if you absolutely need the correct parts for your Vintage G-Shock then do so. But if you have one were the crystal has a few scratches and marks like mine then consider this since it's much more affordable.

Great video. I just bought a 37 year old DW5600C (Speed) yesterday. Chuffed to bits. I might just do this mod. The original screws for the 5600C were slot affairs, rather than the Philips ones.

@@itsallrobbish The 5000 up to the 5200 had slot screws. The 5600c had Phillips head screws from the beginning.

I am really enjoying your in-depth video looks at the original DW5600C and E :D

[@RobertNES816]

Thank you.

I’m enjoying your look at the Speed Square. I bought a DW5600C and thought about wearing it nude because it came without the case. Glad I didn’t just try to slap a case from one of my E’s on it. I may send it to Casio to get it refurbished.

I don't think Casio is refurbishing vintage squares anymore.

Will these 5600E Bezel/Strap mods work to fit to a 5200C?? Thanks.

[@RobertNES816]

Yes but you'll need to modify them same as the 5600c.

[@kukkukchin]

great video. can i use 5600e's new screw for fixing bezel? or should i use original screw of 901?

[@RobertNES816]

It won't fit. Plastic screws won't work in place of metal screws.

[@Dan9997_]

The bezel you used to modify it was that of a 5600E?

[@RobertNES816]

Yes

I don't like the visibility of the display on the 35th anniversary version and the gold colors don't really belong to a rugged Casio watch . I would pay 300-400 $ CAD for the 691 module version ( dual time , etc. ) WITH the improvements of the E model ( led display, lugs, screws , casing ) AND the best quality straps and buckles that you find on the GW or the anniversaries versions .

[@RobertNES816]

The 35th anniversary is a reproduction of the DW-5000C-1B. Look that watch up and you'll see were Casio got inspiration from.

[@RobertNES816]

Now as for wanting something along the lines of what you're describing have you looked into the GW5000U? That's about as close as you'd get to owning a metal cased square G-Shock with better features then the 5600c or e but with a modern metal case and softer strap.

@@RobertNES816 Nah.... I don't like solar as i work nightshifts and sleep during the day. My watch is never exposed to sunlight + i prefer a screwback .

[@martinnichols45]

@@RobertNES816 kk thanks for the input

[@RobertNES816]

@@martinnichols45 The GW5000U is a screwback. Plus it can go for 22 months if you have power saving mode tuned on. Just remember to leave the watch in a window sill for the day and then wear it when you need to go to work. When I worked nights that's what I did with my GWM5610. You only need to charge it whenever you notice the battery level drop.

nice video. You only have 3 clips on these watches. Can you make a few more? 😀 Thanks friend

I don't think there's anything else to really cover.
