I am looking for some different hands and indices to change the look. All red is cool but some gold is needed.

Even though I dont play games anymore, I like this nostalgic piece to remind me of the days I used to.

It took a few hours to get all of the hands aligned and installed and cleaning along the way. The movement was a pretty tight fit to get it in the case and I had to press semi hard to get it in.

Does anyone have any tips, tricks or techniques to getting the module out incase a hand falls off?

I thought I got all the dust off the dial and the case before installing but I will have to double check in the morning when I go to trim the stem tomorrow make sure everything fits. I dont have a reason to use the chronograph feature and have heard the hand can fall off when it resets sometimes if installed properly.

The Casio WS-1600H-8A has to be one of my favorite Casio's out. Yes I do have 2 Ae1200's in different flavors but the 1980's-1990's dashboard dial of this sweet count down timer is growing on me harder than I anticipated.

I thought it would be weird to own another Casio with the same case but man... I am happy I did.

Man I think if I were sharing this with anyone else they might think I have a problem.. I might, but its better than the smoking and drinking problem I used to have. I am how ever keeping way better track of time these days.

The 5 up top are the dedicated Monday through Friday work watch rotation so those stay in a separate easier accessible case. The F91W are my pajama watches I rotate each night.

My wife doesnt even really think I am that crazy, so thats a big win in my book.

Is it just me, or does the band on the 218H wear like a cheap pair of socks?

Every Wednesday I put on my 281H and its one of the Casio in my work week line up that fits wonky. Im not too sure if the band is too stiff or what the deal is but it always sits on my wrist cockeyed and favors the top side of my wrist

I swapped the band with one I removed from my AE1200 and tossed the original in the trash, Im going to see tomorrow how things feel and see if that sorted it out. I have a an extra F91W band I may slip on if it still feel off

I already have a Casio 1200ae but I am using it for work and it's getting some scratches on it. I figured I can use the old case to this one and add a bullbar to keep the work watch fresh. I had to order the green map variant with the Gold letters on the plate to start of my 37th year of life right.

Honestly its money well spent.

Im not sure what it is about the rubber band but when I put in a watch its nice to size it once and snap it together. I do feel the need to rid the device of the rubber band it comes with. I have never been happy with having to fasten the slack under the supplied grommet and sometimes it will fall out and just hang.

I usually swap out the bracelet with a stainless steel variant of some sort and havent came across this style quite yet. Others may dislike the Stainless and plastic combo but I wouldnt have it any other way.

The data banks are must haves. Well I like to think so anyways, and with a set of Gold and black Casio's... I must have the coolest white ones they make as well..

Man, I said I was done collecting Casio watches.... But sometimes we say things we don't mean and some times it can hurt others. So I take back what I said..

I know I dont need another F 91W... but the gold buttons... Yeah I technically I just wanted that. I didnt have to, but I had to.

I used to wear this watch everyday when I worked in the oil field trucking and with an emergency response spill company. I started a new job and its back in rotation as a Friday watch.

I cleaned out under the Bezel, added a new bezel and band and then the battery died from the light button being stuck down and using the last bit of juice. I also swapped out the clasp to retain most of the factory G shock parts.

I was lucky enough to run to the store and grab a new battery for its new lease on life and another day at work.

Its a Friday watch because I like to wear different ones for different days of the work week.

My stash so far, with room to grow. I have hit a pause until I hit some more goals to celebrate a new watch with but I am happy to have found this community.
