Casio G-Shock Rangeman restoration

[@ofb923]

It’s been 5 years… Is it still holding up well? Just got mine last December, really enjoying it.

[@cardojoal]

it's a excellent watch and you do a great job, i hope you don't forget the triple sensor cover

[@gesie0504]

loving the battle scars of your Rangeman! 😍😍😍

[@aimanyunus8728]

well worn rangeman! love it!

[@ryanp5995]

You can buy essentially a screen protector for it on Amazon or eBay i did and it makes the scratches disappear

[@TechTokOffical]

I'm gonna figure out how to restore the orginal stuff as much as possible. The band may be a given but the some people would prefer to keep the orginal bezels and if one could figure out how to repair them and bring them back to spec...

[@ianmaw66]

Hi. Did you try using a polishing compound on the Dremel wheel ? In my experience those felt type wheels do nothing or almost nothing without adding a compound. Another option, which I chose for other G-Shock watches was to buy an inexpensive polishing wheel. You could use that on the glass if you removed the bezel first.

[@CoreyBrass]

You can buy a new crystal for your watch, it's not to expensive. You'll spend more on the tool to remove the back cover then the new screen or crystal costs. If you do that make sure you get some silicone greese for your gasket back there. I didn't my first time changing a battery and when I went into a hot tub I got water in it. Didn't break it but I learned my lesson.

[@b0llos]

apparently the west coast casio service location (The Time Machine in Montrose, CA) claims that you cannot just purchase the crystal by itself, and that you have to purchase a whole case for $160.00! that's ridiculous, as a new casio gw 9400 solar rangeman costs $230.00. i'm not sure if they're scamming people or if the price for a case (since i was told that you can't purchase the crystal alone) is really that much money; but like i said for an extra $70 you can purchase another brand new rangeman gw 9400 at amazon...

A testament to the durability of this watch...or just G-shocks in general. Looks like you were able to breathe some "new life" into it and it looks good! Curious, after those years of rough use, do all of the features still function properly? Just picked one up about a month ago and it's beginning to be my favorite (I have a few).

[@ProFox-]

Yes, it still works like the day I got it.

[@philanthropy3619]

Absolutely. I've had mine for close to 8 years. It's beat up. But, the glass is clean and it works like a charm. I've never even changed the batteries on this bad boy. Amazing watch.

[@xlilnetx]

How’s your rangeman holding up Burner188?

[@burner188]

@@xlilnetx It's awesome as ever! Thanks! Still my favorite in the small collection.

[@Rivals-jo4ns]

Maybe u should get the gwg mudmaster because it has all the same features as this watch but it even has sapphire glass so it won’t be scratched

[@rhino67]

Good vid about a great watch, love mine.

[@Silence4869myth]

did your watch have lug problem?

[@ttyler77414]

Headlight polish and a deemed works wonders on these crystals

[@gesie0504]

dude you forget your METAL RETAINER from the original strap

[@mydailyreviews2355]

The yelling at 9:45 though in the background 😳

[@ProFox-]

Haha, I honestly have no idea. Maybe the TV in the other room?

make a video doing a review of the functions with your watch in the next video

[@Zullkrokus]

1st of all...u can just buy the replacement glass. Another thing, wouldnt it be more easier if u take the bezel off before polishing it since u r gonna change it to a new one later on..?

[@bestopinion9257]

But what is your daily activity? Digging with bare hands?

[@ProFox-]

It's sometimes an activity that I do.

Did you find a solution for the scratching on the face? They look pretty deep.......

[@ProFox-]

No, but I haven't tried buffing the face again.

[@kratos7678]

I found a website that sells new glass for the watch

[@mrbroketheunprofessional3272]

How will i get the costume

[@TheMegamanpr]

Get like a 2000 grit sand paper with soap and water and polish the glass, then use the polishing wheel you were using to clear the hazed glass.

[@TechTokOffical]

He could actually go much coarser to get those gouges out and step his way back up to a clear polish if need be

[@Vondereich]

Try using polywatch paste

[@ttyler77414]

Should have started with wet 2000 grit then polish

[@Wastelander13]

Great video! The watch is ready for more years of service! Maybe a smartphone screen product could help for the scratches! Cheers!

What you do for the lens scratches?

[@ProFox-]

I wasn't able to get the deep scratches out unfortunately.

[@Tinez87]

You've got more chance of platting shit than you have of getting those scratches out with toothpaste lol

[@PriaBerkarisma]

may i know whats is your job?

[@dps6198]

More of replacement of two components. A restoration breaks fir watch down to it smallest parts, clean and/or replace them reassemble.

[@TechTokOffical]

If u would have used just a DAB of toothpaste with no water u would have got the results u wanted. If u ever watched someone buff a car look at the amount of product they use and how much surface it covers...it's the same thing with that crystal only scaled WAY down

[@Rivals-jo4ns]

I would suggest you to buy a new replacement glass maybe sapphire because sapphire won’t get any scratches except from diamonds

[@dracon7712]

Not bad !

[@sebastienromain6510]

Can't polish cristal glass

[@mikifinfon8872]

Perfect watch.

[@czeplik71]

Na takie rysy to papier wodny 800, 1500, 2500 a dopiero potem polerowanie szkła... I miałbyś jak nowy!

[@googlemalaysia5177]

It will be easier if you buy a screen protector that only cost $4. Maybe they havent produce the screen protector in the year you bought the watch.

[@trytowachmystuff1047]

You have no idea what you are doing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 tell us the truth!!

[@VicHimself]

So funny to watch though, I loved it. Hey you have to start somewhere.

[@TRDGE]

I never believed in toothpaste in doing jack shit lol Polywatch however, especially the solution for glass with a dremel works wonders.

[@nikhilkhurana3839]

Look you said that u repair stuff but the watch looks like u went in a war with it 🤔🤔

[@johtajajore77]

😂😂😂😂😂😂. ; it's pretty FN commonsense that you can't polish harder material with softer material.. and I doubt that toothpaste is harder in mosh scale. than mineral glass why didn't got a new glass??? while got new bezel and straps... don't cost that much usually genuine bezel should include those fake screws 🤔 coloring of bezel seems genuine though.. 🤔🤔🤔
