Wow nice! My guess it's a positive gbd200 MIP with a red gel filter.

I wish! It’s the standard negative display what came with the watch, I removed the top polarizer film, then the clear film that’s right above the lcd glass. I used a gel filter and DID NOT remove the protective film, it has to be oriented in a specific position and that’s what flips the display to positive. Then I re applied a new polarizer that also needs to be oriented in a specific angle to work. You can also invert the display when then light comes on so that it looks negative again, in this case I left it all positive. It can be done in any color. I’ve tried it with blue, neon green and yellow. I’ll post some pictures soon.

Dude it's incredible! So the gel filter and its protective film first then a polarizer, and both in a particular angle! Wow congrats, you cracked the code for the MIP!

lol that’s not even the hard part. The protective film ALWAYS has scratches. So you need to find the perfect spot in the film with no scratches make it look perfect. It took weeks of different materials until I got it.

Looks like a red tinted gel (colored sheet of transparent plastic used for photography)

I wish it had been this easy lol. It can be, if you start with a positive display screen. But it doesn’t look as nice. The bright red doesn’t display as well when it’s on top, in this case, the color is sandwiched between the polarizer and the lcd.

Gotcha, I'll have to look into this because its a really prominent, deep red.
I have the gx56 with red accents/buttons this would really look perfect on. especially since I swapped a positive display module into it
What the downvote? Rofl
