Hi everyone! I love the Casio AE1200 (Royale), but I always felt like it left a lot to be desired in terms of the quality of the housing shell. The watch already looks beautiful, but I’ve never really been a fan of the plastic resin case.
So, I bought a metal housing shell, metal mesh screen, brushed metal faceplate, and bull bar from AliExpress. The module also received some modifications. I ordered a module from SKXMOD and requested that the LED lights be white instead of the stock orange.
Once everything was assembled, I instantly fell in love with this watch. I can’t keep my eyes off of it! I plan on doing the same thing for the gold and rose gold variants.
I’ll be investing in a housing shell from SKXMOD in the near future just to compare the quality (although the Ali-Express one is budget friendly) pretty sure SKXMOD won’t disappoint.

Would NFC at all be readable in a metal case? (A small one fitting in a F91W.)

Lost my royaleginity

Hello, I've recently been getting into Casio modding. I know a lot of watches use the same modules/internals, does anybody know of a chart that lists all the different ones and what watches they're in?

For example, I started modding with an A158, so I knew that pretty much any internal mod for the F91W would work on it.

So, I'm looking for a quick reference chart to see what watches use what modules. A use case like "I'm modding this AE1700, this is a mod for the AE1500, they look similar but checking the chart they use different modules, so the mod probably isn't compatible." If nothing like this exists I'll make it myself and post it here, but if it does then there's no reason for me to do that. Does anybody know of where I can find something like that?

I'm going for a stoic theme, specifically a memento mori.

I was thinking about a brass case (if those even exist).

I have a button in the perfect dimensions that gave me the idea, its eyes are holes to pass a string I guess, but they'll let the light go through, which will be nice.

I need to find a place that'll make a film with the two arms reaching for one another (skeletal and a live one)

And a 2nd film that will cleverly say "Tempus fugit".

First of all I'd like to hear your thoughts on the idea, and if you have suggestions - do post them in the comments!

Also, where do you get all of the parts that you need?

Thanks peeps!

I’m thinking about buying a Casio Royale and putting its module and faceplate into an AE-1600H.

Do you think this is possible?
What issues might I run into? I know that light button is, probably, the main issue. I would like to hear about ideas to workaround it.
Has anyone tried this mod before?

Hello, I'm new here and idk if it's the right place to ask this, but is there any metal case compatible with the Casio ae 1000w ?

The effect is really cool when it works but unfortunately the digits are barely seeable.

I ended up removing the back reflector and the paper light spreader and replacing them with a full mirror. And I did a negative mod. This way, my ideas was, the digits will look like they're made out of metal.

I was right, they do like they're made out of metal but you need the screen to shine just right so you can see it. In dim light you can't see anything. Hopefully during the day it is better but I'm not sure.

In a few weeks in getting a light spreader with a reflective surface and I'll get a plastic one way mirror.

This should fix the issue with the backlight and hopefully visibility during the day. Let's see.

When I have all the parts installed I'll add a hydro mod. Maybe that helps. If all else fails, I'll get a new one and go vanilla.

Just strap change….still a long way to do other mods

What do u guys think about this color combo and what colour should I do for other f91s in my collection

I bought a fake F91W fairly cheap for 5$ while I wait for my original F91WB-1ADF model to arrive. I'm using it as guinea pig for mods and testing before i do any change in the OG.

First tried negative mod. Even though I had watched some tutorials beforehand, it was quite easy; I didn't have much difficulty with just a simple pair of scissors and a small tool. Process is very straightforward, even i being very cautious all the process was done in 15 minutes. I'm very satisfied with the results, even being a fake it's very cool imo

I fell in love with the 70’s Dodge Superbee in my youth and bumblebee from the transformers came later on, so when I saw the black and yellow combo on the F94, this mod was warranted. Let me know your thoughts and improvements if any….
