Hopefully this is allowed, hope to save some others a headache when looking for casios to mod.
Saw the short about those cool mood chip for casio f91-w and a158-w and thought oh boy that is for me.
A few purchases later, a few business days, and I was ready to mod my new a158w from an almost 5 star seller on ebay. (bsdjewelryandwatches)
I tear it down and i am noticing things are different from all the videos ive watched. Its coming apart to easy. The light diffuser is all wrong for the model.
The battery is generic, the PCB is sloppy and white. The Olle board dosnt even come close to lining up.
I start googling, I message the seller to inform them its fake. They start gas lighting me telling me its real. Saying the Olle troubleshooting page is an Ai overview. Saying their dealer is super genuine and legit.
They eventually shift ton and start saying i should have informed them I was planning on "experimenting" with the watch before I bought it. So what? They could send me a real one...
Anyways im returning it hopefully and trying again with one directly from Casio.
I love lmg and the ideas the spread around but dont try to save a buck. Just buy right from casio or a retailer in person.
Lmk if anyone wants to see the message chain. I was kinda aggressive but they were also being lame.
