G-Shock "bull bars" on a Casio Royale (AE1200WH)
After watching a video where @MWC2020 added the bull bars for a G-Shock to a budget Casio (W218H), I decided to try to strap the same "bull bars" to a Casio Royale.
With some fussing and cussing, you can manage to strap the bars for the 5600 in place on the AE1200 (or AE1300) and have a beefier Royale.
(I've got a nato strap on it instead of the original bracelet. You can choose to ignore that if you like. Scratches on the lens are from daily use before the bull bars)

Rock! Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you 🙂 I'm liking the look and it feels like it's protecting it a bit from my clumsy nature, which is nice.
I wonder what your wife's reaction will be 😉 Love that segment!
I had to wiggle it into place with a little screwdriver. A pair of needle nose pliers to bend and flex it for the minor adjustments would probably be smoother.

That metal case mod always looks so tempting :)
Looks good!

I just put a bronze case on mine. It’s a fun and simple mod. Would recommend if you don’t mind the price.

It really changes the way the watch wears. Can’t recommend it enough.

Yep with sapphire crystal. Metal face plate if you want to go all out.

I need to research one for a casioak. I never do anything really active with my casioak, but a poser’s gotta do what a poser’s gotta do.

Looks like there might be some options available (from a shallow google search). 🙂
Great, now I need to buy one of these..
Looking good. 👍
Awaiting the arrival of 3 bull bars from AE for a GW5610u that I just ordered. I bought a silver, a black and a red bull bar to try out on this watch.
