G-Shock Mods?

Post by r.palace » Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:39 pm

Any of you dudes know someone, preferably in the States, that is capable of doing some minor mod work on a G-shock?

Looking to change the polarization of the display on a G. A simple mod, sure, but one I’d prefer to outsource the work.

The dudes on WUS that I’ve reached out to are weirdly against doing this for anyone else and state they only mod for themselves

Only modders I’ve seen are based in Asia. Shipping kills any real deal but I might have to resort to that.

Let me know what you guys know :cheers:

Thanks Eric! Was actually checking out that DIY yesterday.

I’m looking to apply red polarization to a negative display and unfortunately the red colorization film isn’t easy to find it seems

I’ve got a guy in Malaysia that gave me a decent quote, hard part is finding a cheap and secure shipping method to send the watch to him

So looking like no local modders - onto the next question.

Has anyone shipped to Malaysia from the States that can recommend a secure low cost option. Shipping a G-shock so value and weight are minimal

I can tell you shipping to Malaysia is a troubling experience. Sometimes it can take a week or 3 months. :shrug:

I’ve heard the same timeframe. Maybe I’ll FedEx over a $100 G that’ll cost the same to ship...not

Maybe have him just buy a new G locally, mod, and ship to you. Then you can sell your current. Only pay shipping one way! :)

For sure. Proposed this arrangement to the dude a few days ago and radio silence.
