My first 2 G-Shocks
Seriously! There's about $300 in this watch. Started with a black/white GA-2100, then added fully white painted hands with good lume and lumed markers. And in installing the new hands, I broke a tooth off the gear that drives the hands, so it wasn't working. Didn't much care for the negative LCD display anyways. So I bought a gray GA-2110, that had the normal LCD, and swapped that module into the black case with the black dial, put the new markers and time hands on, used the day indicator from the gray watch, and then put on adaptors to let me use a nylon strap. Needed something I could wear over a parka sleeve in extreme cold at night in Alaska, and while this was expensive, it worked great!
Used to collect cheap and weird digital watches when I was young. Now I've moved on to mechanical watches. I also like modding them, especially the cheap ones!
This is absurd, and I applaud it heartily! I bought the aggressively blacked-out version of this, knowing full well what I was getting myself into, but with any other color scheme I'd be a little disappointed that Casio didn't lume this thing up properly to begin with. Nice work! 🍻

Thanks! On the one I got, it even has white markers, but completely unlumed, makes no sense.
Ok, figured out how to add another picture of it where I built it to go.
Any straps that soak up water isn't good imo. My main reason to avoid nylon straps.
In your cold environment, I recommend g-9000, g-7900, G-800BD, and GLS-5600 g-shock. They are designed for extreme low temperature.

I was only there for a week. And I needed nylon straps to reach around the thick parka sleeve. Actually used two 12" straps connected. And in this kind of cold (it was between -10 and -30 F when I was there), that show isn't melting and getting the strap wet. And while the GA-2100 isn't rated for extreme cold, it took it like a champ.
