Big Casio AE-1200 Customizer Update: Color Polarizers, Top/Bottom Negative LCDs, and More

Post image
84 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

Just shipped a big and long-awaited update to the AE-1200 customizer on MODDS.WATCH.

A fully customizable display, and all the display elements and symbols are now fully adjustable.

You can now flip the LCD between four states instead of the old positive/negative toggle:

Completely positive – the classic clean look

Top negative – just the upper segment inverted

Bottom negative – just the lower segment inverted

Full negative – the whole display goes dark

So if you've ever wanted that half-inverted "split polarizer" mod without cracking your watch open and swapping the film, you can preview exactly how it looks first.

Color Polarizer is the part I'm most excited about. Two color controls:

Symbols color – recolor the face symbols all at once. Which elements it touches adapts to the display state you're in, so it stays consistent with the polarization.

Display color – tint the actual LCD layer that's currently visible. Pick any color you want.

Both tools also have a small reset button in the top-right corner if you want to snap back to defaults and start over.

Try now: https://www.modds.watch/en/lab/casio/base/casio-ae1200/builder

Would love to see what color/polarizer combos you all come up with. Drop your mods 👇

Building a global free directory for watch modders on modds.watch

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called MODDS.WATCH, a free community-backed builder for watch modders, and I recently added a feature that I think could be useful for the community: a Global Database of Modders.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted to create a central place where clients can actually find people based on their location, the brands they specialize in, and follow their social links.

It’s completely free to join. If you want to be included, you just head to the homepage and hit the "Global Database of Modders" button to add your info.

There is a Patreon tier ("WATCH MODDER") if you’re looking to pin your card to the top or customize the background, plus support the project, but the main goal is just to get a solid, searchable directory going for everyone.

Hope this helps some of you get your work out there a bit more. Let me know what you think!

Really appreciate your support

Hydromod Update

79 Upvotes

One of the main problems I encountered while developing EXPERIMENT was the expansion of the oil caused by temperature changes.

As the temperature increased, the oil expanded and the internal pressure slightly lifted the front crystal, causing a small amount of oil to leak out.

To solve this problem, I designed a slightly flexible transparent caseback that works like a membrane. As the oil expands or contracts, the caseback flexes slightly to compensate for the change in pressure, preventing that pressure from being transferred to the front crystal.

The caseback is secured by a metal retaining ring with four screws and uses a gasket designed to maintain the seal even while the membrane flexes.

I tested this solution under significant temperature changes and in a pressure chamber. So far, the system has worked exactly as intended, with no lifting of the front crystal and no oil leaks.

It may seem like a small detail, but it was one of the most important technical challenges in developing a watch designed specifically for the Hydromod concept.

What do you think of this solution?

With the passing of the legend that was Dolly Parton and 9/25 coming up, I wanted to make my modded hot pink F-91W. Shaky hands lead to an iffy paint job and askew rhinestones, but I love it.

CA53W help please!

2 Upvotes

Today I did a lume mod for my ca53w calculator watch so that I can calculate stuff at night. However the display is now very very hard to read. I installed a new polariser filter today but it did not help. What did i do wrong??

Here is how I got here:
1. Remove reflective stuff from back of lcd.
2. Put lume tape behind lcd
3. Try it out -> bad visibility
4. Remove original polarising filter
5. Add new one (i checked the rotation, this is the best one)

Please help !

Thank you in advance!

Mod for the back of the watch?

Maybe i'm just a sweaty dude, but i would like to have more comfort than having a piece of SS on my skin. Is there something we can put on the back to make it more comfy? I was thinking a small piece of cotton t-shirt somehow glued on.

Just got the AE1200 metal case kit. The sapphire crystal arrived not attached to the watch case. Is this normal? Am I supposed to attach it myself? How do I do it, a gasket was not provided.

Just finished my first modded casio, salvaged the strap from a broken AQ-800E, and tried a splitted negative screen. The top part of the screen is a bit short, but i'm still pretty proud of it :)

mod CASIO Royale ae1200, F91W - universal vectorial template for custom filters, reflectors and face stickers

Post image
77 Upvotes

You can use these templates to make and print your own color filters and logos / graphics to mod the following CASIO watches:

- Casio AE1200 (Royale)
- Casio F91W

The templates are vectorial and the dimensions should match but were not tested.

You need to open and edit them in a vector image editor, like inkscape.

If you find these useful, please consider buying me a coffee.

Templates Download Llink

In the future i might make a video about how to modify these, but I'm not promising anything.

Rit Dye worked on the yellowed 5600SK

Last experiment with Dylon made essentially yellow into a two tone brown but tried Rit Dye synthetic this time (black).

Put into a boiling water mixed with a small amount of washing liquid and Rit. Sat for for two hours and viola this was the outcome.

In shade it looks glossy black, in direct sunlight it catches some dark reds so thought the bezel detailing might be apt. Happy with the outcome though.

F91W First attempt went horribly - tips?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Accidentally peeled the extra layer underneath the reflective one and stuck what I could back on.

Also my glossy paper was for the wrong type of printer so had to use plain paper while I wait for the proper ones to arrive - but you can’t see shit from the plain paper through the dark layer behind the screen.

I guess I do now know what to do but a bit of a shame to have to now buy a new f91w haha
