CasiOAK Mod

Saw this over on Reddit. The guy who posted it said some sellers on Aliexpress are selling metal case/bracelet kits to mod the watch. Havent been able to check the site to find any myself though.

That is kind of cool, but would want to see that in the metal. Looks good in the pic but would be curious to see the quality of metal used. It may be taking the AP knockoff look too far if you consider part of the gshock value is that it is supposed to be indestructible the AP is supposedly a scratch magnet. So seems as though this mod may be undoing part of the gshock benefit but would still want to hold one of these in person...

Yup, looks cool, but definitely needs some close ups for fit & finish

Have to agree with the guys Ken. :salute: :thumbsup: This really does look interesting at
least, and is something have never seen. ..It's almost as if you were getting a
window into what it might be like if AP decided to make ana-digi model. Or
even some cool new G-Shock that was in the works.

Even the nickname has a ring to it. ..CasiOAK ! :) Cool stuff Ken. Thank you !!!

very valid concerns, I think pretty much any mod will reduce the "durability" of a g-shock though, and making the watch tougher for sure is not the goal of this mod. But again, I have no idea of the quality, just something I saw on Reddit and was kind of surprised at the level of modding available out there now.

The guy did say he got the kit off Aliexpress though, and I do know that is not necessarily the first place to go for "quality"
Lot of weird, obscure, and cheap stuff available there though
