Does anybody know why this was a feature?

Wow, very impressed with this product, 30 + years old and looks as good as new.

Refitted an original Casio strap after as it looked so fresh but it probably won't stay...

Look Ma, its Batman!😱

For this one, I wanted a simpler BATMAN! feel. A little more abstract and less in your face.

The subdial gets a geometric low-poly Batman inspired decal with little hits of cyan, yellow and white.

The decal is sealed under UV resin, so it does catch and reflect light at certain angles in photos. Under normal lighting it’s way less apparent and looks natural as the resin gives the decal a subtle 3D effect, magnified and extra depth.

The filter is all about that Gotham atmosphere, a cooler teal tones up top with dark blending fading into a warm yellow/champagne gold ember across the main display, representing the glow of the Bat Signal cutting through the night.

I kept the main time area fairly clean so the black LCD digits still punch through nicely.

Black case, black strap, dark faceplate & then just enough colour underneath to stop the whole thing from disappearing into stealth mode.

How do you think this one turned out?

Glitch Mod

Comment your favourite!

Here’s a Glitch Mod centred on a DBZ battle happening across the watch rather than just sticking a character on the dial.

Went with Goku firing a Kamehameha in the world-map section, with Frieza taking the blast in the subdial. The blue energy from both pieces ties them together and makes the whole top half feel like one battle scene. If you zoom in you will notice that the alarm window has a galaxy in it.

For the filter I went with a galactic mix of magenta, purple and electric blue. On the left and right sides of the main LCD, you can see the Kamehameha travelling across the filter, while the centre stays cleaner so the digits remain easy to read.

Finished it with the black AE1200 and a matte navy blue leather strap. The navy works nicely with all the magenta in the filter without taking attention away from it.

The colours really come alive outdoors.

Glitch Mod.

High G Shock fans.Got this from Ebay with box and papers. Casio made only 3 models ( exactly the same just different straps and bezel colours) with ganja leaf on the back light in 1995. This model definitely had the coolest strap. It's always 420 on this watch

Adding follow up pictures from my last post. Came out looking brand new. I used 12% peroxide , put in a glass jar, set it outside in direct sunlight for around 16 hours total.

Secured this extremely rare vintage JDM casio prt-3000 from the late 1990s. The full titanium cast on this piece is truly something else! The case, case back, and even the H links were all casted and finished extremely well. And with its protrek features and design, the choice to use titanium actually makes a lot of sense. The weight is significantly reduced and that makes this piece extremely wearable.

The fact that this watch has an adjustable contrast in the settings for the LCD, truly makes me appreciate the design features and thought back when Casio was making some pretty epic watches.

Have you guys seen this full titanium pro trek out in the wild? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi all, since I have seen some very cool restorations on this sub, I was wondering if someone knows a way to restore this kind of rubber bracelet and bezel with worn white paint. I know I can buy a replacement bezel and bracelet but I would like to keep it as original and cheap as possible, is replacement the only option?

On an AQ-350W bracelet.

so I wasn’t even looking for a sampler. that’s a lie, I’m always looking for a sampler. but I definitely wasn’t looking for THIS one and now it’s on my desk and I’ve done nothing productive in two days.

the thing that gets me isn’t even that it’s a sampler. it’s that you can sit there and draw a waveform. by hand. with the slider. like you’re doodling a sound into existence and then it comes out sounding like a haunted vending machine and I cannot get enough of it. run that through the filter, crank the resonance til it starts screaming at you, and honestly what else do you need in life.

Why did Casio stop making this shit? like they made this thing and others in the 80s and dipped.

anyway I know it’s old and lo-fi and there are better samplers, don’t care, this one’s got a soul or whatever. if you find one for cheap just get it, trust me.

This worth a buy for $650

Il mio Casio Marlin, ho cercato parecchio per trovarlo tutto originale e in perfette condizioni.
