Yes please. I feel the exact same way about the g shocks, I only like the square models. I like the dial better on the 5000 model, but because it has a stainless steel dlc coated case and screw on back it costs $300 more

Thanks DaywatchGlad it worked manodeoro
BTW ... seems you swim with ALL your watches :hehehe: ... I definitively have to PM you about that cause I swim a lot so I need sme advices
Did you do anything special to your Casio Royale or is it REALLY 10ATM ?
Living by the Ocean it´s a normal circumstance. Simple Casios, Timex & alikes I´ve always used otb in, around and under water without any problem. I just don´t touch the pushers when submerged. Reps need silicon-greasing of the caseback gasket and tightening of the caseback (almost always) with the respective tool (cheap). A bit of silcon grease on the screw-in-crown (You can carefully work around it with a toothpick) is also recommended. It´s been a lot of uncomplicated and "careless" fun and variety, the total cost of the rep is less than changing the gaskets and depth-testing of an expensive gen with a precious movement inside.Thanks Daywatch

Not all reps are suited, simple divers without HE-escape-valve are best. The ones I use for swimming/snorkelling are chosen for a TD-rating to 100m (at least 50m) or "waterproofed from factory" which doesn´t mean anything, but I´ve only had good experiences with the eight reps I do use in cold water for several years by now (after above treatment). No hot showers and steam because of the expansion/contraction of gaskets and metal tolerances in reps. All other reps I keep quite far from water
To be on the safe side a waterresistance test is recommended, even the simplest one to just 30m will do for playing around. Around crystals You might use UV-glue but that´s already going too far 4me, than I simply wouldn´t use it. For scuba-diving I´ll take certified gens only.

That's about what I do to my Reps but I've never tried to swim with so it's really reassuring to read your advices.
The week-end I'll be on the mediterranean coast so at least one of them will be tested "in real"
I just hope I wont ruin any movement ... and that the water wont be too cold or I could "ruin" myself :hehehe:

View attachment 81110 This was actually my first watch I bought for myself, not including cheapies and knick-knacks. This was the first time I purchased and started wearing a watch with any degree of regularity so it holds a very sentimental place in my heart

Buy a 22/24 mm leather strap, cut it to 18 mm at the very end so that it can fit between the lugs and that's it.Considering making a a black canvas strap for it....anybody ever tried canvas or leather on the casio?

What am I doing with my life, I said no more watches but now I've bought one of these and already planning mods for it!! I think I have a problem...
It happens to the best of us? Check to if see you have Asperger's syndrome or not...no offense, naturally.
It's here! Couldn't resist picking up the classic f91w while I was at it. I was never a real fan of digital watches but these things really speak to me. My grandfather had the f91 when I was little so maybe that's why.
Will be giving the ae1200 the goo gone treatment when I get home from work later if I'm not too tired. For those who have done it already, If I'm taking it apart to remove the "5 alarms" and "10 year battery" text, is there anything I should be aware of when reassembling it or is it as simple as I think it should be? Thanks!
