Removed all the writing on the black bezel, except for the Casio name and dial numbers... Also sprayed matte clear paint to give it a textured look (very subtle.)

That looks cool! Great job, always wanted to know how it looks without all the lettering. World time and illuminator could go as well - just Casio looks simple and clean imho.

I tried removing world time and illuminator, but ended up removing some of the silver on the 1st watch. Ended up returning/exchanging it. So with the 2nd, I'm not doing the same to it.

Same thing happened to me.
I used Goo Gone with Qtips and rubbed very gently.
After about twenty minutes with little progress (some of the letters were getting faint but still a long way to go) I noticed a spot where the silver was already coming off.
I started rubbing harder at that point, thinking what do I have to lose because it's already messed up.
Guess I'll be ordering another and probably leave as-is unless someone can offer good advice.

That's exactly what happened... Horiffic sight. There's no going back from this, I was lucky... I just got mine from Amazon when it happened, I returned it "defective" immediately.

Remove All the silver and paint the whole case :)

Having just a little more fun, I took an old 24mm strap and customized it to fit....


Using the lug of the steel belt, I cut notches into the strap to fit flush with the 1200 lug...


And to finish it off, here's a hairy arm chicken thigh shot (wristie)

I'm actually contemplating on adding an electroluminescent panel similar to the timex indiglo watches... Not sure where to start with that. Haha

Liked your idea so I threw some old leather I had laying around on mine as well. :)
Great idea. No modding for me yet other than the strap change though.

Looking good... Nothing better then treating a $20 watch as if it was $2000.
