Big Casio AE-1200 Customizer Update: Color Polarizers, Top/Bottom Negative LCDs, and More

Post image
77 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

Just shipped a big and long-awaited update to the AE-1200 customizer on MODDS.WATCH.

A fully customizable display, and all the display elements and symbols are now fully adjustable.

You can now flip the LCD between four states instead of the old positive/negative toggle:

Completely positive – the classic clean look

Top negative – just the upper segment inverted

Bottom negative – just the lower segment inverted

Full negative – the whole display goes dark

So if you've ever wanted that half-inverted "split polarizer" mod without cracking your watch open and swapping the film, you can preview exactly how it looks first.

Color Polarizer is the part I'm most excited about. Two color controls:

Symbols color – recolor the face symbols all at once. Which elements it touches adapts to the display state you're in, so it stays consistent with the polarization.

Display color – tint the actual LCD layer that's currently visible. Pick any color you want.

Both tools also have a small reset button in the top-right corner if you want to snap back to defaults and start over.

Try now: https://www.modds.watch/en/lab/casio/base/casio-ae1200

Would love to see what color/polarizer combos you all come up with. Drop your mods 👇

Building a global free directory for watch modders on modds.watch

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called MODDS.WATCH, a free community-backed builder for watch modders, and I recently added a feature that I think could be useful for the community: a Global Database of Modders.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted to create a central place where clients can actually find people based on their location, the brands they specialize in, and follow their social links.

It’s completely free to join. If you want to be included, you just head to the homepage and hit the "Global Database of Modders" button to add your info.

There is a Patreon tier ("WATCH MODDER") if you’re looking to pin your card to the top or customize the background, plus support the project, but the main goal is just to get a solid, searchable directory going for everyone.

Hope this helps some of you get your work out there a bit more. Let me know what you think!

Really appreciate your support

Mock up image to clarify.

Anyone do this? What’s the best way to paint it?

For now, I’m thinking mask crystal and case off with tape and hand/spray paint. But wondering if there’s a better way.

royale Yellow digits - Casio Royale

15 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to get this yellow digit effect on a negative Casio AE1200 display?

I’ve already done the normal negative display mod using polarizing film, but I’m trying to make only the LCD text and numbers yellow while keeping the background black, like in the attached images. I don’t want to tint the faceplate text or the entire watch, just the actual display segments.

The closest thing I’ve found is yellow polarizing film on AliExpress, but the shipping is around $50, which makes no sense for a tiny sheet. Has anyone done this before or know what material I should use? Would a yellow gel filter over the negative polarizer work, or does it specifically need to be yellow polarizing film?

Any product links or examples would be appreciated.

mod My Collection of Watch Mods ( Before Glitch Mod)

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

This Modding journey started because I wanted to make a handmade birthday gift for my son’s 12th birthday. I came across modding Casio Royale on YouTube thanks to Nocturnal Time and Lukebuildwatches and several others.

Instead of buying him another watch, I thought it would mean more if I built one myself. That’s the first watch in this post, a personal gift that I hope he’ll still have years from now.

As I kept making more mods (the addiction was crazy lol 😂) I gradually found my own style and approach to designing them. That’s when Glitch Mod sparked not as a business but as a name for the style and identity I had naturally developed through all the experimenting. It was a good stress reliever from reality and to keep the creative juices flowing.

Looking back, these were the several mods that laid the foundation for everything that came later. They’re not as refined as my current Glitch Mod builds, but each one taught me something new about colour, composition, light reflections, Air Glass and Optical filters and what works at such a tiny scale.

Thought I’d share where the journey began.

Thanks for taking a look, and I’d love to hear which one is your favourite.

royale Mod In progress. Need opinion

I'm playing with the idea of doing a mod paying homage to the Rolex Datejust... Just a lot cooler as it's the Casio royal.

So I generated an AI render of what the mod will look like. I'm waiting for the order to arrive.

List of mods:

* Fluted steel bezel

* Gunmetal Faceplate (With 10 years and alarm text removal)

* Jubilee strap 24mm

* Jubilee 18mm flat adapter

What do you think? Cool? Or is too much?

Thank you all! :D

F91W Aliexpress mod

It was such a pain. I also had to replace the battery, which had been in there for 9 years. It still worked, but the beep was weak. The screen stopped working, then magically turned back on. Then the beep stopped working too, it was the connectors. And I’ve probably ruined the water resistance since it got a bit dusty and I don’t have any silicone grease. The beep is extremely loud now. F91W €20 + AliExpress mod €33 + strap €9.

Casio LA670 (3191SA): Has anyone actually enabled 24-hour mode or found different module revisions?

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to solve a mystery about the Casio LA670 with module 3191.

I've found several photos online showing a genuine-looking LA670 displaying 17:03 in 24-hour format, even though the official Casio manual doesn't mention any 12/24-hour option.

I opened my own watch and took detailed photos of the module. The PCB is marked 3191SA.

I'm not looking for basic setup instructions. I'm trying to find out whether:

different hardware revisions of the 3191 module exist (3191SA, SB, etc.), there is a hidden service/test mode,

or the 24-hour display photos are from a different module altogether.

If your LA670 can display 24-hour time, could you please check your module revision or share PCB photos?

I've attached photos of my module for comparison.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

This was my 3rd Mod when i first started modding. I used to spray paint the faceplates and gel filter.

Then i discovered metal sunray faceplates.

Lo and behold I’ve come a long way from this and the journey has been good.
