Ga-b2100 yellow to black mod

Gw-5000 strap and OEM black bezel.

Small shims were needed to make the strap fit snuggly.

I’m very happy with the result. Gw5000 strap is unbeatable.

Definitely a more serious-looking “all occasion” watch now, but why did you pick that beautiful yellow version in the first place? My son tried to find a yellow one to give me for Christmas but they were no longer available, so my wife got me the “Caution Yellow” version.

I prefer the more visible hour markers on your watch and thought about modding mine, but apparently that marker ring is held in place by a steel ring which necessitates removing the crystal to get at it from the other side. Not worth it to me. But I did put white paint into the words for the pushers to make them legible.

Yeah if it was easier I would have lumed the hour markers… it should be easy on the non-bluetooth models, makes me want to get one just to do that.

I like the yellow as well, but more than that I like the possibility of switching it around. And also just the process of tinkering with these. I’m sure I change it back to yellow when summer comes.

That Yellow Caution is 🔥🚧👍
