Doesn't sound logical on paper, but once you have the case on, it kinda makes sense. Very high quality case, which is more than I can say fore the bracelet, it isn't worth the extra at this stage. I hope they rework it in the near future. Cheers, Jody

A textless variant would be a good addition to their range - I removed all the external text from my original and I think it looks a lot cleaner.

[@eather34]

How did you remove it?

[@Wirralguy]

@@eather34 I used isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip but there's a number of ways on-line from using goo-gone to pencil erasers if you search around on-line. Really easy to do and takes 10 mins

How?

Hi Jody - Love these mod vids. Given the feature set, battery life and sheer coolness - The royale is most definitely worth the case mod - keeping the resin band keeps it grounded!

[@aravindvinayakan]

Glad to see a modkit like this on the market! I bought my Royale in 2019 after watching your video on it. I was living in Los Angeles for the summer and didn't want to bring any of my nicer watches with me so I only brought the Casio. Ever since then, it's been one of my favorite travel watches. Just took mine on a European vacation and having access to all the time zones I needed at the press of a button was a godsend! Thank you for introducing me to one of my favorite watches :)

[@elymarshall2871]

It's so cool to see that there are dedicated modding scenes for so many different brands and models aside from the skx

[@jordan-jn9jv]

THank you Jody for always reviewing affordable but amazing watches. Shows that people dont have to spend a lot of money to have a good watch collection!

[@olliesales1151]

This mod looks great. The AE1200 was always let down with being made out of resin. I will definitely have to have a look at the mod kit further.

[@chrisn589]

Another great vid! I found two of these at my local Walmart got less than $20 each. Bought them both, kept the “metal” and gifted the resin. Love it! Thanks Jody!

[@veefour57]

Great video Jody, I'm new to the world of watch collecting and only been into it for a few months. I've learnt loads from your channel and you've become my 'go to guy' for information! Loving the Casio content as my first purchase into the hobby was a G-Shock 2000 series. I've since purchased two more Casios to build up my collection!

[@tubafore73]

In one summer, I went from no watches to 5 Casios, from an AE1200 to a Casioak, from a Lineage M100 to an Oceanus T200, and my venerable blue Duro. And you, sir, and your videos and commentary have been there the whole way! Thanks for being awesome!!

[@jeffj318]

I happened to fall into Casio watches recently. I might be getting hooked like you are.

[@thebitterfig9903]

I think I generally prefer the plainer A500wa world time, the module without the faceplate at 5:38 looks really sweet to me. That’s a mod I could get behind.

[@darkoflight4938]

Such a cool thing! I watched the rest of the modding stuff at SKXmod and they were even more tempting! Keep on doing great videos!

[@JohnHenrySMH]

Love it. They should either improve their bracelets or have the option of an fkm rubber strap, would be such a nice upgrade to the usual resin straps, always the first point of failure on the cheap casios.

[@trevor5914]

This mod looks fantastic! I’ve always wanted Casio to make a full metal Casio AE1200 and now that’s possible. When you consider the prices of the metal gshocks, just over $100-$120 is a great price for this watch and probably what Casio would price it at if they made it.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

The full s/steel version of the A158, the A1000D, sells for less than US $60.

[@julianhoneywill]

Great, I've only just gotten into watches and now you've opened me up to the world of modding too!! Love the content mate, looking forward to adding the Royale to my collection one way or another...

[@cchristens1]

Love it, I just pick this watch up a week ago and then you dropped this vid! Great timing !!

[@sped6954]

Hi Jody! Been subscribed for I don't even know how long, and I can't help liking this video. What a great modification for a fantastic watch. I love what this kit does for arguably one of my favorite watches. It doesn't stray too far from the original, except to clean it up and make it look like it should have been this way all along. I've had my eye on doing something like this to one of my 1200s for a while, but the finances just never quite seem to allow it. Anyway, as usual, great vid, great presentation and a great modification to give away to two lucky subscribers!

[@muzzaball]

Hi Jody, well this was a fun vid, for both you and us. Isn't it amazing how much functionality Casio put into even their most inexpensive watches. I think that the original has an interesting dial layout, relatively uncluttered and is quite legible. 10 year battery - c'mon, for that price! Cheers mate.

[@danielcowden5701]

That’s a really cool watch. Loved the video. I’ve never had a Casio but this looks like something I’ll be adding to the collection. The mod really makes a big difference.

[@kingzak5155]

That’s a pretty sweet mod! I’ve been wanting one of these Casio royals for awhile, and now after seeing these mods, I want one all the more ☺️

[@Wulliee]

Thanks Jody, a Casio Royale in full stainless steel with a hardness coating and sapphire crystal. Oh yeah! 😎

[@Riketz_]

This is an awesome mod. Would love to see a showdown between this and the kranio design case for the title of ultimate mod. It's more expensive but looks like a one man team making them. The white cerakote one looks incredible!

[@michaelferrell4381]

Great video as usual Jody! I have the olive green AE1200 and it's great (and seems a little less popular than the black and gray models). I swapped the strap for a rubber one from some other cheap casio illuminator and it's way more comfortable. Would LOVE this full metal case and of course... sapphire! Very practical mod imo.

[@jamessaund]

Cheers Jody, very pleasing to fans of the royale, or indeed even those who weren’t fans before. Great mod product.

[@technicky1]

Royale with cheese

[@maclo97]

Cool video and perfectly timed Jody! I’ve been looking at one of these kits because I love my AE1200 and want to keep it looking fresh as long as possible!

[@joshgoldz1]

I started watching this channel while I was on the hunt for a cheap and cheerful Casio - I'm now a confirmed watch nerd based mostly on your contagious enthusiasm and reviews!

[@mischievousgamer8747]

I love that these are available now. A full steel frame for the Royale was a lot of people's only grievance. I can't wait to get my hands on a Kit to make my Royale more capable and rugged. 👍

[@bryanschairer1424]

Interesting content. Never tried modding but have seen your comments on Seiko mods in the past. Great info!

[@samibeaumont4817]

purely by coincidence this week I've been looking into acquiring this exact watch in order to a mod. I was thinking hydro or negative display so would love to get my hands on one of these... Thanks Jody!

[@user-dm9bx5me4u]

This watch and upgrade kit is the most terrific set I have ever seen, let alone the price!!! The excellent presentation put it all in perspective and I see no reason at all why anyone should not buy one.

[@victormenchenton2437]

Hi Jody. Great video as usual. It was you that got me to buy my own AE1200 a year ago with one of your vids. It is my weekend watch and goes with me whenever I travel as my casual piece. And you also got me into Pagani. Just picked up the moon watch homage - the correct one - and love it. Keep up the great work for those of us who don’t have Rolex money.

[@DanFliesDrones]

That's so cool Jody! I had no idea how easy it was to mod one of those and I've never attempted even a basic mod before. Ta for whetting my appetite and the always excellent content your create 👍⌚️

I did this mod, case only, to my royale. I also added a bull bar, and put it on a Vario Bund Band. It's like a completely different watch. Love it.

Been thinking of adding one of these, so would love with the mod. Great reviews, keep it up.

[@carlosmorlin3280]

Nice mod kit!! Love the fact that it includes a sapphire Crystal! I’d be inclined to only mod the head and maybe use another bracelet from a different supplier. Thanks for all the great reviews you do- I think I’ve bought 5-6 watches on your recommendation in the past. Keep up the great work, you test watches so that we don’t have to!

[@kay8515]

I've been thinking about buying a Casio for a long time, but I could never decide on one. With the new mods, the decision is not easier, but more detailed. Thanks for the video

[@dimpyhalder4823]

I am certainly looking forward to buy this watch. Thank you Jody for details and especially mods.

[@jonbravo6262]

Thankz Jody for this vid & opportunity🤙🏻 I’d never have looked at this Casio prior, having had too many Casios in the old days, but I luv this modding era😆

[@dhawrylkiw]

The metal kits with sapphire are a great idea. It puts that last mile into a watch with a style and module that goes a long ways.

[@tonymeiggs9638]

I can see the appeal specially with the coated cases, thank you for showcasing this mod. Good luck everyone.

[@screaminvikin]

Hi Jody, I like the quality and ease of those mod kits. The Casio I have been wearing the most is a WV-59 vintage Wave Ceptor. I enjoy the boxy, DeLorean vibe I get from it.

[@seanm8734]

Jody ..Thanks for sharing the mod site. I did my AE-1200 based on your original mod video removing some of the text from the case.

[@ollyw2897]

Great video! Looks like a fun (and easy to do!) mod. I’ve been tempted to get one of these in the collection so a mod version would be very cool! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Love this watch! My first budget watch purchase roughly two years ago. The scratch on the face is painful to look at. Thanks again for the video.

[@JWhite-lg6hs]

Casio and Seiko mod communities are so cool. Great video explaining how simple the mod can be. Thumbs up

[@TEX360]

Thank you Jody - nice review. Very thorough as usual! I actually bought my Royale after I saw your review a year or so ago and even after buying ...five or so watches since I use my lovely Casio more than anything else! It's scratched to buggery tho so I see the appeal of a Sapphire glass and a tougher case. Nice one. Iain, uk

[@javierjimenez786]

I own the silver case with the bracelet, and have always been tempted with the rose gold (copper color seems to me) and rubber strap. Certainly these mod kits will always be justified among Casio Royale owners!! Thanks for sharing with the community Jody!

I like your videos and im optimistically waiting for the mod kit for my casino royale in India💕. Stay great👍

[@Rusty10speed]

These kits look great. Recently got into Casio collecting and the AE1200 is probably my favorite so far.

[@TheSeandorsey]

Great video. I had no idea there was such interest in modding a cheap Casio. Maybe it's time to put one of these in my collection?

[@SouthTonik]

This a cool idea! Especially like that black with gold pushers, hella snazzy. Love the AE1200, though I'm yet to pick one up - the cheapest I've seen in South Africa is around $45 equivalent. Didn't even know you could get 'em for less.

What a great idea ! and a lovely watch when the mod is complete. Always been a Casio fan - had my first in 1978 and have always owned multiple Casios ever since. This will complement the G-Shock (thanks Jody !). Would love to dig out the reading glasses and have a go at this and I'm sure Moneypenny would love the upgrade to metal and sapphire....
