How to adjust / resize a Casio AE1200WHD bracelet ( NO TOOLS )
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A tutorial on how to shorten the bracelet on your Casio "Royale" AE1200WHD. I decided to make this video to show you that no tools are needed in order to do this. This is a watch that many people get in the beginning of their watch collecting journey and often times a bunch of watch tools are just not around the house. That shouldn't stop you from getting your brand new Casio on your wrist ASAP! Just use something like a corkscrew and you'll be fine! Maybe don't ruin a perfectly good fork like I did :)
Cheers!

I was gonna take my watch to a jeweler to size it for me-thank you so much for this! Removed 4 links and sized perfectly in under 10 minutes with your clear instruction. You're the best!

@@NordicWatchChannel I think that the DATE & TIME on this CASIO AE1200 watch should be a larger size. The DATE and TIME on the CASIO model W96H-1BV is a much larger size. I can see the TIME on it easily from 1 meter away ! The CASIO W96H-1BV is my favorite digital watch because it shows the TIME, DATE, DAY and YEAR all on the face without having to push any buttons for selection. You look at this watch and it shows everything all at once.... though the CASIO AE1200 watch is better when traveling to different countries.
