Casio is and has always been my favorite watch brand, going back at least 35 years. The one gift I could always count on from my parents was two new Casios every year, one for my birthday and the second for Christmas. I've always liked watches, going back further than I can remember, and I guess fairly early on they noticed my attraction to Casio in particular so they just kind of built on top of that. On one hand, I always knew what one of my presents was going to be, but on the other, I never knew exactly which one it was going to be. I really don't care much for the Æ1300. A lot of that comes from the three wheels taking up almost ½ of the screen. I understand they actually count off passed seconds, but I still just don't like it. What I do like about this model was ci weed early in the video, and that's that it has the same housing as the Æ1200. On the surface that isn't much, but the 1300 comes in colors that for whatever reason, Casio never paired up with the 1200. I like how your housing came out. I'm not sure which I would've preferred. Most likely the brushed look just to change things up a little. Interesting look with the film. Probably works better that lighting gels because it's thinner so you'll get a better fit inside the case. What was wrong with the screen protector? What didn't look right about it? Was it just that there was a ridge? Too shiny? Rippled? As far as that film goes, it's probably easier to cut, which in turn could possibly make it easier to cut sections of the display for a two color LCD. Lighting gels are a bit more rigid which for me makes them a little trickier to get precision sizes. Something like this might come in handy in the top right corner of the Æ1200 to divide the display.

Looks cool. I've done some modding on the AE1200 myself. The buttons went bust after a while though, so I ordered a fake china AE-1200 with shiny surface on ebay, which turned out to be a full metal case with mineral crystal and engraved letters. Never seen that it again online. The display and functions seemed identical, but display had bad contrast, so I swapped it with the original casio module. Very nice. The only small thing is that the dimensions of the fake module were half a millimeter larger in each direction, so I had to pad in some plastic. The buttons work fine, but sound is not always working on button presses. Maybe I'll make a short demo video as it is pretty unique.

A nailpolish remover will remove the lettering much faster, with no harm to the plastic. Then it's down to minuts, not 25... It will also remove the printing on the outside of the case. 🙂 And i know it's an 'old' video, but PPL still buy these watches. And off course, mod's 'em.

That straps just looks way to thin for that watch, and the stock band, widens from 18mm, so it's wimpier than stock look... Just no...
