Foxindebox 461 Posted October 7, 2017 Hi guys, I've been reading threads on a couple of other forums (shock, horror), where I've seen a few modders have made an homage to the James Bond Seiko from "Octopussy". The gens are now horrendously expensive, so I decided to copy what some of the other modders had done. I started with a Casio Worldtimer. The watch itself cost me nothing as I had some points on my watchshop account (but I believe it can be picked up for £30 max elsewhere. I then used some adhesive remover called "Sticky Stuff Remover" (I know...) on a cotton bud to remove the "World Time" and "Illuminator" from the case. After that, I took the back off and popped the movement out and got to the black plastic dial. I used the same technique to remove "5 Alarms", "10 Year Battery" and "WR 100M" from the dial and then used a craft knife to cut away the two bars either side of the map. Which left me with this... I'm very pleased with the result, not exactly identical but it's a good homage I think. Update... Now with all the text except "Casio" gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sogeha 6 Posted October 7, 2017 There was a big interest in these on RWI a little over a year ago. Some kept them standard, some modded them in various ways.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 461 Posted October 7, 2017 I'm contemplating getting rid of the button labels too. I think it'll look even cleaner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would need them to remind me what to pressIt certainly improves the look no end removing unnecessary wording.

You didn't have any issues with the sticky stuff remover, removing any of the silver?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUSH2112 11 Posted October 7, 2017 The mods really made it nice. I had watches back in school like this that I literally just threw out when it had a problem. Never expected them to get popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
