[@mattcameron9349]

Meticulous attention to detail, and patience. You have a REAL engineering skill there, my friend!

[@abukambing177]

Thank you very much!

[@myloveforlife200]

Thank you for keep this watch nice and clean again

[@jackforpresident666]

Beautiful restoration!

[@abukambing177]

Thank you sir.

[@at1m6nn]

Thanks for the detailed video! Great job! I have this model, with a slight rainbow effect on the lcd due to the old polarizing film. In the future I will check your video again step by step, if i need to do some maintenance on the watch.

[@abukambing177]

you're welcome, glad it helps :)

[@rickyb6641]

Amazing work!! What was the hardness of the sandpaper? And which product did you use after that? If I found one with a cracked glass the only option is replacement 😢?

[@abukambing177]

the hardest grit that i used is 600 up until 1500... then i use car windscreen polisher to polished it back. it depends if the crack is not all the way to the back u might be able to save the glass.

[@rickyb6641]

@@abukambing177 nice tip 😅 thanks!!

[@Daud76]

Great job! I also removed scratches off a Casio Marlin H101 and a Casio Melody Alarm H104 using sandpaper and water. But now glass is slightly cloudy. Can you please tell me how you get the glass to be crystal clear again?

[@abukambing177]

Thank you, u have to use some high grit sandpaper and then when the scratches becomes fine, use glass polisher to polish the glass... polish until the glass is no longer cloudy.

@@abukambing177 Most welcome. Thank you too for your reply and advice. 😊

[@DDiegoBigode]

qual é o tipo de vidro do relógio? é cristal mineral ou acrílico?

[@erenjaeger5344]

How do you exactly polish the scratched glass?

[@abukambing177]

Alot of sanding polishing and elbow greese :)

Best wishes for the new year. Great video. One question about the polar films. You randomly put the back film and then try the correct orientation of the front film?

[@abukambing177]

thank you for the wish, yes... from my experiences that the suitable method for me.... rather than thinking which is which,

[@Kwales66]

Nice work.

[@abukambing177]

thank you sir

[@peperana8439]

the module of the a168 fits on these casios?

Gostei do seu trabalho

[@RenanbellotirosaRenanbellotiro]

Mais quando eu pergunto da película pra botar no relógio eles falam que não tem mais você mora aonde

GREAT JOB !!! 👏

Nice job!! Hey, any idea how to check based on a serial number how old vintage marlin is? For mine it says "The serial number (264118) equates to June 1992, 2002, 2012 or 2022". Does that mean it surely isn't 1982? It is w-150 (H101) model. Do you know at what year they were discontinued?

[@alfredmoranti5971]

Any idea how to troubleshoot the sound? I got a Module 108 with everything working as it should, except sound. I noticed that this model has no piezo on the inner plate nor an obvious place to put a spring on.

[@rentys679]

Nice video, question where can I buy the polarized film?

[@lohzhengyee7164]

Hey bro, I have the same exact watch but it’s broken, May I know how much to repair it? Thanks

[@TechTokOffical]

U should try getting urself a powered toothbrush just for cleaning small electronics. Preferably one that is "Ultrasonic." U gotta figure they are used to clean teeth but not harm the gums is very helpful when it comes to delicate things but REALLY blasts off the grime when u need it to. They also come with various brush stiffness and have other attachments that can be helpful in tight areas. Just a suggestion

[@TechTokOffical]

P.S-I also have one JUST for getting stains outta clothes before I wash them. I just use detergent as "toothpaste" and go to town. Works AMAZINGLY

[@benmak3283]

Where to buy polarizing film ?

[@abukambing177]

bought it online sir

[@vartancosmin3263]

hi there!! happy new year! witch paste did you use to polish the glas?

[@abukambing177]

hi sir, cerium oxide

[@Wetangle]

What cerium oxide are you using?

[@abukambing177]

just normal glass polish and alot of elbow grease

[@gitasatriawangsa9472]

Halo mas, hasil restorasiannya ini ada yang dijual kah?

Salam sore mas, maafin belum mau dijual lagi mas

You look like you have a ton of spares, there! Any chance you have an extra crystal for an H101?

[@abukambing177]

unfortunately i crack my last H101 :(

[@Daud76]

I know someone who has two NOS black crystals for the H101. Not the black grey variant.

I don't think Casios are supposed to last 20, 30 years...

[@abukambing177]

well unfortunately they do 😅

[@chrislim7976]

@@abukambing177 The older Casios you are working on were they using steel watch case and not plastic?

[@Daud76]

@@chrislim7976 The older Casios (which I restore too), are solid stainless steel cases and glass. Not the chrome plated plastic of today.

@@Daud76 Thanks today's Casios seem very light. Too light.

@@chrislim7976 Most welcome and I agree. I much prefer the vintage digital Casios and always so much fun looking for parts and bringing them back to life. 😉
