    Should I do a Ripley mod ? :)

    well was bored and looking on the bay and various other sale sites and saw a 3d printed model of the case of the body of the watch the idea is to put in two either casio a-1000 I think it was(bit price if doing using new think bout £55 a pop for watches so all in around £140 ish ) or you could use f-100 cheaper (new bout £30 a pop so bout £90 isshhh ) but not so cool looking and a shade further then the original look. edit they say F-100 but that would be a modern retro look one not the original 80's one


    F-100


    or
    Casio A100WE-1AEF



    so would look like :



    or maybe go try few other models to see what fits maybe a calacator and a f-100 or A-100 think worth a shot ?



    As always ismy

    I own one A-100 and really struggled with the buying decision because of the almost 50€ price tag.

    yeah bit hard to as it was a 3d print if the case had been rubber and a bit flexible then might have been fun to wear longer but yes it a tad hard on the wrist will find the case and show what I mean .
