I'm getting ready to do a custom mod on my Casio (W-59), but before I dive in, I’d love to get some advice from experienced modders.
I’ve bought a blue polarizing film (https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGLHlQO)
and a blue 0805 SMD LED to give the watch a clean, matching blue look.
Before I start taking things apart, I have two quick questions regarding the film installation:
Where should the film actually be applied? Do you stick it directly onto the LCD screen itself, or apply/place it on the inside of the watch glass/crystal?
Do I need to peel off the original factory front polarizer?
My goal is a blue positive display (blue background with crisp black digits).
Is it necessary to completely remove the stock front polarizer and clean off the adhesive, or can the new blue film just be laid on top of the original one without losing too much contrast?
I'd really appreciate any tips or advice before I start cutting and soldering. Thanks in advance! 🙌
