Show us your Modifications

[Kevinw]

Here's the place to show us any cool mods you've done.

I'll start with a very simple but fun mod on an F91W.

This is called the Hydro mod.

It has a couple of practical purposes.
First, it makes the F91 totally waterproof
Secondly it takes away any refraction, therefore absolutely no glare!

Right you need an F91 and you need to strip it, but leave the module in the case





Now you need a bowl and some extra virgin olive oil





Right, this is how this works...
Olive oil does not conduct low voltage,
It's non corrosive
And it doesn't attack rubber.

So what you want to do is stick the watch face with module in the olive oil



Leave it in there for a while, and swirl it around a bit so the case totally fills with oil.

Now lower the back into the oil and hold it firmly against the case so you don't loose oil.

Take it out and screw the back down



The oil is thick enough that it won't seep past the seals, also because the case is full nothing else can get in.
Hence water proof

Also because there is no air gap between crystal and face there light can't bounce around all over the place, leaving you glare free.

Now I don't swim with my watches so I didn't completely fill mine, so it had a funky effect



You do have to spend quite a while washing in soapy water to get rid of the residue though!

Enjoy

2 Custom Casio MDV-106 white dial/blue bezel

Right after I finished making my own with the white band, another custom white dial w/ blue bezel turns up for sale for only $60. It is inexplicable that Casio never made this watch out of the stuff in the parts bin.













And while they're at it, a red bezel with both black and white dials would sell well too.
Green bezel with white dial too.

Bought all of these on WUS f/29 from talented WUS members. I only changed the bands.

Did you have a go at the hydro mod ITMW?

not yet got the oil and went and got a f91 just not had the time to have a go at the fish tank lol ... thinking of changing it up slightly by adding a bit of food colouring to it when I get some and the time to give it a bit of maybe a blue tinge to it or maybe green or something ? what you think ?
