G-SHOCK GMWB5000TVA1 Aliexpress Band Vs Genuine Comparison Watch

[@karelvdd]

I don't understand this. You only compare visuals, but not the quality. Why didn't you show how much both bracelets move sideways to see how good the links were put together? And what about the connections on the cheaper versions? Are they spring bars? And what about the weight and the overall feel?

[@funplaymix7710]

If you still have these can you do a scratch test on a link or something to see how both hold up to scratches? Like use a screw driver and scratch it to see which one comes off first. That will tell us how well the coating is held up on these knock offs since you have the real thing.

[@litvinovserge]

Its nonsense to do a scratch test. The aliexpress version doesn`t really have DLC. I have modded mine DW-5610. I do really like the look of titanium mod, but it already have a few scratches on the band. I am pretty sure the original one have REAL DLV and it would very hard to put scratches on it (just look it the scratch test of the black Apple Watch Ultra 2). But the price difference is nonsense, 3k+ vs 100$ - is quick and easy decision for me.

[@chief2036]

Wow, they even included a screen and buttons. Nice video.

[@intezamable]

The seller who sold these in the same auction most likely charged customers separately for these, its like an additional 40 $, and they got two styles of screens: DIY and Sticker type, the former has to be replaced with the 5600 crystal and the latter is slightly smaller and just glued on top of the original crystal. In the latter, the crystal will then be level with the bezel. A third version are the thinner evolution screen protectors, they lack the casio branding....the button set costs about 18 $ the DIY screen about 20 $, the sticker type about 14 $ and the design screen protector about 9 $....

I bought an Ali express dw steel strap as the original was too small. The aliexpress was perfect size and excellent replica

Just got my Ali Express mod today. I love it!!!

Do you still have the link?

[@mickaelsuberbiola5694]

Hi and thank you very much for the vid! I own a GW M 5610 1 er... I'm lost within combinations 😅 which one should I buy to keep the solar panels working? 🙏🏻

[@oneyedthing]

I'm also currently looking for a 5610 version of this kit. Not sure if they made a solar type. This kit is pretty much a mock up on non-solar 5600's. You know poser type thing. If you are going to use these on solar models, it's better not to install the mock up solar panel glass.

[@MajesticRidez]

Your solar watch fits right into it you just leave out the screen that comes seperate and just mount your watch straight into it

[@M1szS]

hey, im wondering is the glass they sent u really sapphire?

[@zamSEG]

any video tutorial on changing the crystal and solar panel on this model?

[@hendri_aja_dech]

I popped out the crystal using a crystal pressers with a tiny block of lego pieces. Don't popped out the solar sheet, cz the solar sheet is a thin layer only.

[@zamSEG]

@@hendri_aja_dech did the solar sheet glued to the crystal or separated? how to pop the crystal but not the solar sheet? aren't they clamped together to the case? my gw6900 and gx56 seem to have fog between the crystal and solar sheet. i'm planning to uv glued it together to solved that fog problem permanently. sorry for the noob questions. 😅

[@hendri_aja_dech]

@@zamSEG It's not glued, it's separated pieces of sheet but very thin like a plastic flexible sheet. Bottom side has a white colour, and upper side has a grey colour. To pop the crystal, i use watches crystal opener/presser, but since the head for pressing is too big (since it's round teflon material), you need to put a little plastic block (in this case i'm using small lego pieces), rectangular shape in the middle of round teflon. Make sure it fit inside clear crystal area only. Press it then then voila, the crystal only will popped out. Too bad I can't upload picture here.

[@hendri_aja_dech]

@@zamSEG Additional note : I don't know about gw6900 and gx56, how it's constructed. Im talking about gw-b5600 and gmw-b5000 series construction.

I wonder which series should I order to mod my GW-5000U

[@jrhrvy]

They had them for $50 last night. Figured what the hell and grabbed one. Two different versions. One for a 5600 and one for the 5610, I ordered for the 5610. Does any 5610 fit the kit?

[@robvega533]

Hello - thanks for this video! All the conversion kits I’m seeing on Aliexpress only seem to come with the band and frame. I don’t see any with the face conversion piece, or the other stuff. Could you tell us which store you got this from, please? Thanks!

I wonder if this is a real titanium or just a stainless steel copy

[@Gwinter452]

I've seen both SS and Ti versions being sold online

[@ADubTheGrizzy]

Does the tough solar work with that new glass?

[@RoZZameSS]

The glass in this conversion kit seems to have those transparent gaps (also present in the original TVA). The light should be able to pass through them just fine. I'd be more worried about replacing it. Although you can change the bezel and bracelet of your watch without opening it - removing the glass or buttons (for that matter) requires a complete disassembly. There's also the case of how the crystal has been manufactured - it wouldn't be much fun if there was something off about it (not visible at first glance) only to find out after taking your G-Shock for a swim. 😬

[@grimmer2005]

The DLC text on the left of the case is actually better placed on the aliexpress :-O

[@anasone434]

Ali express vesion even looks better than the origional one😳

[@koushikrajaa3435]

How to attach the glass.. just stick on the modding model or should we open the movement ?

[@Zinnet85]

I think you have to open the module

[@alathafambarisky3515]

Hey, could the gmwb5000 bezel and bracelet series be replaced ?

i believe, and could be wrong, you need the H C Set here www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003765524948.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7a243c00CPVGSH&mp=1

[@funplaymix7710]

Of course they did a good job copying the real thing. I wonder though how the coating holds up to the real thing?

[@dustycups]

The coating would be quite inferior to the original. Certainly not DLC, possibly not even PVD and the titanium is likely a soft low grade impure metal.

[@danielq4411]

Would this kit work on a GW-M5610U?

[@steveburgess9338]

No the buttons are not in the exact same position. I learnt this the hard way!

So the kit which uses real titanium is $14? I wonder how much the $1600 watch cost Casio to make. $5?

[@dustycups]

At best it would be low grade titanium. Not DLC coated. Workers likely treated like shit and paid very little while being exposed to toxic chemicals.
