My watch arrives Monday and seeing this mod for the first time. My responce is simply WOW!

[@kernicterus1233]

Hey, I've just fitted my new GA-B2100 with the Black/Silver rivet case and a red silicon strap - it looks awesome as the red is the same red as the mode-hand. I've also got orange and black rubber straps for a different mood. Super quick delivery, nicely boxed and presented, extra screw and bars included, and the unexpected addition of a glass protector is excellent thanks. No I'm not getting paid to say this, I'm just a middle-aged guy in the UK who took a chance and it paid off. Well done SKXMOD.

[@SKXMOD]

Thanks for the detailed comment and such high praise!

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Thanks bud

[@rong.2457]

Why is the bezel on upside down at the beginning of the video? 😂

[@SKXMOD]

Later on in the video I talked about how GA and GAB actually has no difference in terms of their outter accessories. Because I've already put the theory on the test before the camera start rolling. Probably I didn't give much attention on the orientation. Do as I say, not as I do...

[@douglaswheeler4712]

I have 6 CasiOaks. You've done a great job explaining all the functions of the different of the CasiOaks. Your videos are great. Well done.

[@SKXMOD]

Thanks!

[@bangchow6872]

Love the look of the Casioaks, especially now there is bluetooth now I can pair it to my phone and manage alarms that way. That being said will continue to build up the watch fund for one, anticipating for a Casioak 40th Anniv edition, hopefully and will have enough $ for it. Thank you for the demo.

[@garyhoffman503]

Expert System. I like both, the rubber strap with that fitting is rad.

[@yohaneswilliam1995]

i am new to watch thingy and astonished by how quick and easy the modding is. A very nice video.

Very nice .. thank you for posting! 😍😍

[@MistaKasko]

My GA-B2100 just came in and super excited to buy a mod kit. Looking for a bracelet and rubber band set. Don't suppose you have a black Gen 4 do you? Just not a fan of the crown if I'm being honest. Thanks.

[@SKXMOD]

Yes, but in Black & Silver.

[@mdtravis1]

Thank You Very Much..!

[@yorusuyasoul69420]

Just a suggestion we need a metal bezel like the full metal gmb2100 with similar style but for gmb2100 that would be cool

[@Guinea54]

Think this watch looks better in person. Your lighting makes it look more grey than it does in normal light... I like the solar powered version the best, but I probably wouldn't get it to mod. Get the cheaper model with more defined hour markers and less busy dial. .. Think that looks better in the metal case.

[@SKXMOD]

That's exactly how we envisioned it. To renovate a CasiOak in the most lavish way without breaking the bank.

[@2fargonedaytona128]

I didn’t buy mine to mod either but damn I’m chewing on it!

[@cdma2136]

excellent video, thanks for your effort.

[@tercelinatobias7827]

but why u dont choose yellow one? that's a nice bright clean dial rather than black model almost dark dial

[@SKXMOD]

Only one available at that time.

[@MrSaitama00]

I have the GAB2100-2A model. Should I get Silver or Black case? 🤔

[@Steve-vm1fi]

Love this but my only concern is the pin holding the rubber strap. If you change the strap a few times won’t the holes become loose?

[@SKXMOD]

Nope, still holding strong. Because we design the friction-fit to be tighter than usual. In that way it will balance out the wear and tear in the long run. It's like buying slightly smaller sunglasses and breaking in just snug and fine along the way you use it.

[@SergioUribe]

It's possible to change the hours of this model?

[@Xistn]

Titanium version please!

[@SkywalkerPaul]

🎉

[@andredemel9508]

I have a question, after changing the watch with the skxmod, does the watch still remain waterproof and shock resistant? like a normal G-shock?

[@SKXMOD]

No, because the modding does not do any altering with the caseback in the first place.

[@meeekx]

[@BarikSingh]

Will the Gen 6 have the crown? What other functional upgrades will it include? Thanks

[@SKXMOD]

Yes, crown would still exist. Yet it will become functional this time around. The entire structure will be completely different. Not like how Gen.5 just an exterior casing covering over the carbon core. It'll be integral this time.

[@BarikSingh]

@@SKXMOD What will the crown do on the Gen 6? Also, will the Gen 6 look identical to the Gen 5?

[@SKXMOD]

@@BarikSingh Unscrewing it would be releasing the crown entirely. And the crown will be attached with a steel pin as pusher. To push the buttons we replaced as dimples style. As you may have seen in some perpetual calendar mechanical watch. The general look of it will be similar to a AP chrono.

[@benyamada969]

when will you release Gen6?

[@SKXMOD]

Estimated late November.

[@madmomo2488]

Does it lose the solar function if i change the face to another one i buy from another mod? ( the black backgound i dunno what it is called)

[@SKXMOD]

Yes, the dial needs to be somewhat transparent. For the solar function working properly.

Yes, only in limited colorway.

[@hotwheelko2234]

Is the bezel on top removable with the proper tools?

[@SKXMOD]

Nope, soldered.

[@champipy]

The strap part is a shame to Casio.

[@xboxnangable]

The standard strap on the B2100 is a bit small for my wrist. Is your strap/bracelet a larger size or come with extra links?

[@SKXMOD]

If you have wrist circumference over 20cm then I would suggest going bracelet and purchase extra links. And no, unfortunately our bracelet don't come with extra links.

[@xboxnangable]

@@SKXMOD are the links easily purchased elsewhere?

[@SKXMOD]

No, but you can buy it from us.

[@xboxnangable]

@@SKXMOD have just placed an order for the mod kit. I'll see how the bracelet fits and then I can order some links if needed.

[@SKXMOD]

On full links, each side have approximately 8.8cm of length. With 5 links removable as well. You take that number into consideration.

[@kenji985]

Hi i have a question do any gma2100 mod kits IE gen 4 and gen 5 fit the b2100?

[@SKXMOD]

No, because we don't have modding kits for GMAS series now. Just GA, GM and GAB series. But yes to the last question, GA and GAB basically have the same exterior. Gen 4 and 5 kits can both be applied on GAB.

[@mreddieau]

What is the glass material, how quickly does it scratch up?

[@SKXMOD]

I think Casio always get mineral glass on the 2100 series until the GM-B one. But we have a piece of glass protector within the kit. So no worries.

[@2fargonedaytona128]

@@SKXMOD and I need another because it’s cloudy at the top like a smartphone protector with air bubbles. If I opt to leave it off will the case mod sit flush, still? If yes I’ll just shit can the extra protector. It’s driving me crazy looking at it

[@duythanh11389]

Does GA-B2100 have a super-hard coating version like the AE-1200 ?

[@SKXMOD]

Nope, otherwise we'll demonstrate it every single time.

[@duythanh11389]

@@SKXMOD I hope you will make a version with super hard coating for the GA-B2100. That will make your product different from other products on the market. I also just ordered a copy of your AE-1200 because it has super hard coating and sapphire glass.

[@SKXMOD]

Thanks a lot. It's really nice that someone like you, as few as it may be, who finally appreciate the extra protection or functional use we put our effort in. The AE-1200 or Royale line is more of a practical side of our products. Comparing to the CasiOak side, it's more of a aesthetic oriented direction we are going for. But also, there's the concern of cost as well. Because hardening IP coating don't come cheap.

[@cedrickleijnen1465]

Is it also possible to still buy the gen4? Because i prefer the look without the crown.

[@SKXMOD]

Only certain colorways are left in the remaining stock.

@@SKXMOD Do you maybe have a link where i can find them?

[@SKXMOD]

Just checked, we still have black & silver, black & rose gold, full silver and full gold. The reason we didn't listed gen.4 on the website anymore is because 1.it's obsolete and 2.they are not newly made batches, might not be the most best condition for selling. If you still want that, give us an Email and I'll make you a customized order. [e-mail] (Accessories like rubber band and bracelet are compatible from gen.4 to gen.5)

[@SKXMOD]

Not recommend, but yes. A customer of ours pump the pressure to 70m and it didn't pop. Then again, 70m is the best his machine can do. With our caseback installed as well.

[@SKXMOD]

In all, our modding kit is just a added-on piece of steel casing. Everything that the original watch's capable of, our product will not weaken a bit. And if not better on the protection. But it's more about the improper handling measures than material wise. For example, not fully rinse and dry the watch from seawater will result in unpleasant water stain. And the caseback I mentioned earlier, another added-on piece. But since it's connected to the inner mechanism this time. Loosely tighten screws will not just give you stain but actual movement damage by moisture. I don't want to speak for all people. But past experience does show us that there is quite a fraction of our customers encounter those said issues.
