The real question that is on everybody's lips is: why does Casio not release a full-metal/hi-spec version of the Royale themselves?

Because people will complain that it's too expensive for a digital watch just like Tissot PRX Digital.

Because unlike us horology weirdos, most people aren't going to spend $250 for a $20 watch. And I say this as someone who owns TWO Royales modded with the kits in this video.

​@@speedyspooleyI think there may be a digital vs. analog component also. Digital is just perceived as always cheap now, no matter all the functions. So contrast the 1200 to the lineage lcw-m100tse-1ajf which is titanium and sapphire for $170-$200 plus. The difference to me seems to be form factor and/or analog, physical moving hands, etc.

@@clange50 Since casio offers the A1100D-1 in stainless steel and various digital metal G-Shock models in the luxury watch segment, all of which are sold successfully, I think the thesis is a bit far-fetched. :-) Casio could certainly offer the AE-1200 in metal for less than 200 and it would fly off the shelves in no time.

They look amazing! I wonder why nobody is making a kit for the F-91.

Great video. I ordered one of these and upgraded my world time a few months ago. I agree, it completely transforms the watch. wears a lot better.

Good man, which version did you get? I'm leaning towards the matte one at the moment

Ohhh wow man wow, what a difference and beauty the fully polished is, excellent video, thanks a lot

Another great video 😊

My go-to GMT watch for travel is this watch in a stainless steel SKXMOD case on a Vario grey elephant leather strap. Love this watch and knowing that I have almost 10 times the investment in the case/crystal/strap than I have in the watch itself. Makes me want to giggle.

Hey dude it is a nice Casio watch timeless piece!

I bought 2 of their mods, one black and one matte. Both great quality and I really enjoyed the mod process. Now I am going to add a different colour back light to it.

I love my Royale, so I'm seriously going to consider this! I think I'd probably go for the matt version, looks great on the green canvas strap. I assume the blue back light is an upgraded module, is it electro luminescence? Your videos are the best Kieron, thanks so much! 👍

'LED back light' according to the website. It is much brighter than the factory version I must say. I'm going to have a bit of a play around with all the parts, including my AE1300 and see what I can make. Cheers Rik! Always good to see you here my friend

Quite the thorough review of these mods! One thought entered my mind: since SKX Mods offers their own customized modules, wouldn't this mean you could build your own "complete" custom Royale from their catalog?

Sorry I know it’s been a few months. But does the case finishing match the bracelet for the matte? I’ve heard they aren’t an exact match.

The kits state that the steel cases are hardened, will the polished case still pick up scratches easier than the matte version? I want to order one of these kits for use as a work watch. Any info to help with the decision would be appreciated.

@TopTierTicker

There's no real way to stop steel scratching... Especially in a work environment. I'd highly recommend not getting the polished case version if it's going to be used for work. It will look much worse scratched up than the matte version

How about water resistant?

I need one, how to buy it!

waiting for for the new model 2023 "LF 20w " it have the same module.

Now we’re talking! 😎

Will this modification upgrade work with the all resin Casio?

Nice reference!

SKX Mod are amazing. Here you said the Royale has only one problem but In your other video about the 1300, you totally roasted it for being nerdy and the watch of nerds etc. It was so full on that you almost had me feeling sorry for Shane over at Relative Time with his Indiana Jones and Star Wars toys etc. Anyway, you've redeemed yourself with this one but to be honest I prefer the 1600 to the 1300. Great video.

Hahah I did roast it quite a bit didn't I. But I still love the thing, I wear it often actually. I still do think it looks rather nerdy though. But I actually like it more with this sterile case from SKDMOD.

Can you kindly let me know what faceplate you used in 5:05 of the video? I'd like to use that particular one for my SKXMod build, but that specific colorway (white print on silver) doesn't seem to be offered on their website. Thank you kindly!!

Or you could build it to last and never have to replace it while also making it wear and look better.

Polished one look perfectly and scratches can be easiliy removed by polishing while if you scratch that matte one, you are done.

Cool kits and all, but the prices are hilarious. The stock watch is sold for less than $20 where I live. I'd rather buy a $200-300 proper watch than spending that kind of money on this. I think that the hipster/ironic trend is long gone.

Try to wear how it looks like

Nice work. One criticism, you seem to have worked hard to remove every gap between spoken words - all pauses removed. It's tiring and annoying.

Those kits are expensive. Getting a g shock makes more sense.

incredibly overpriced

Not that incredible , I have it, wear it every day and it needs to be readjusted every 6 months or so, because it’s late with time. That’s weird for digital watch that is supposed to be very precise.
