Casio Royale dedicated wristies thread

[FiloViridae]

Got a new member today at the gym! I commented on his calculator Casio watch. Hes in his 40s I'd say and he said he has been buying the Casio calculators watch since 8th grade. Got it as a gift and buys a new one when they break. Showed him the ROYALE, and he loved it.. haha

My hydro modded (liquid filled) casio Royale.
I havealso removed text from the case, to make it sleeker.

Very nice... what type of oil did you use? I have some 5000 and 10000 differential oil at home, was thinking of doing the same, but unsure if the rating was too high. I've read 1000 is good, but I don't want to spend more since I've got some oil.

I used 100 cst silicone oil.

Preciesly this one:

The only downside is that for a week or so after filling the watch, some oil seeped out from around the watch face glass. I can only think of the fact that there was too much pressure inside the watch. and pushed some oil outside. I have no ideea, YMMV.
After 6 months or so, I've had no problems.

Always great to learn something new, I spent the a little time learning about the hydro mod process and tackled it last night.

I have plenty of mineral oil with different weights for my RC cars/trucks. The lowest I have is rated 5000ct. Didn't want to wait to order something with lesser value. But if I'm correct, the higher the rating the better the temps it can handle.

With the oil being super thick I warmed it in a hot cup of water.

Disassembly of the watch has become a breeze.

To keep the oil warm, I used the small little glass bowl and sat it on a hot cup of water. This made it easier for the oil to seep through little crevasses. One piece at a time, I used my phones vibrate to agitate the oil to allow the bubbles move. Cause the oil is thick, I need to wait about 30min per part added to and keep the water hot.

Once all the parts were in, it sat for another hour. You can see in this pic that there are no big bubbles and small bubbles are almost gone.

Not sure if you can see, but the screen of the watch is amazing. Looks like it's one solid piece.

No leaks over night, going to test the watch under cold/hot conditions today to see if any issues arise. But I'm confident that the process went well. I read that a slight bubble should be left to allow for expansion, but I don't care. I don't want to see it. If something happens, I'll chuck it and get another. For the price, I'm not scarred to experiment.

I like air bubbles. Makes for a nice conversation:
*shows watch*
"tell me what's wrong with my watch "
*shows air bubble*
*proceed in talking about watches for about 1 hour*

This is a piece of cake, your not replumbing arteries, no skills required...

does the alarm still work ?

if so, is it quieter because of the oil ?

It's a complete loss of the alarm. Not even a beep when you navigate the settings.

Is that the UV purple?

It's supposed to be pink... but the led light is purple, and with the way the led diffuser is, that's what you get. There's only 1 led in that model.

Haha love it!! There's a lady's dog on the trails we hike that has her dog trained to hold the lease with his mouth when she says grab. I think it's awesome! I'd love for Hercs to get their, but being deaf that's one very hard road block. I'm just to afraid to even let him off, however he has got out before and just stares at you like "hello? Are you going to get me or no?" Lol

Also, LOVE the silver with resin band

Thanks, I love the "plus" it's awesome!
I am lucky, he is a good boy. The people on the trails get a little concerned when they see a 140lbs dog without a leash running towards them lol
I would love to take full credit for it but I must say he came back from training all trained to walk next to me, sit when I stop, ignore other distractions, stop on command etc when walking. I must say sending him away for 3 weeks of training after we only had him for 3 weeks at the time was hard but ended up being the best thing I did for him. When a dog is this big I can't imagine what he would be like untrained.

Well that's awesome. My training place has camp we can send our dog to as well. However we have been pretty successful with just our trainings.

and I actually forgot to order the "plus" in blue. And what would you know? It went up in price... lol $22 now, so still not much
