- Bought this old badly looking Casio A163WA-1QES with a hope to bring it back to acceptable condition. And to my surprise the result was better than I expected. Couldn't do much about the frame but the crystal is almost scratch free now, except the deep scratch on the right that's barely visible. Polishing takes a while but is well worth it. Also, I swapped the strap because I don't like stainless steel straps. The spring bars I had were a bit too fat for F91W strap, thus I had to heat the strap and force it in. Thanks for watching!

pleasent video, shame about his disfigured arm (tramp stamp) sigh
No one likes you
Phil Church fucking hater
Yeah ok pee pee head
Phil Church your mamas fat
Is not your arm, piss off !!
I actually love the contrast on the weathered chrome from the black parts
I took about 20 yrs of work abuse off my crystal but I used 2000 grit wet sand then 3000. Turned out really good. That pollywatch compound looks like a great product though. Thx for the tip. Cheers!
It's great to polish it after the sand paper. I actually did another scratch removal and will upload a video tomorrow!
I just found this channel and I love it!
You have inspired me to make the Casio watch of my dreams. I want a Casio w217h with green LCD display and I want to swap the amber LED light to green as well. I want it to look as 80s as possible.
I'd love to see it
For acrylics I just use rubbing compound for cars, then I finish it with brasso, and carnauba wax. Tried using ceramic coat on my ae1300, and its glorious, but a bit pricey.
Excellent job I give it mine to my little brother due to it has a scratch on the screen I think I should repair for him thanks to you bro all you videos are amazing
Yes! Take the watch back! Thanks!
Yeah! Another great video, keep it up!
The music is straight Outta 80s
A very good finish , I did the same on a boot sale watch but with only p1200 grit wet and dry for car painting then rubbed on a carpet for a few minutes
Now that's what I call a real DIY! Sand paper and carpet. That's gold! Haha
Teach me master
You've polished the plating off the case. I usually remove the crystal to polish but if that's not possible then I polish on a flat surface so that only the crystal comes in contact and not the case. Also, for deeper scratches, I use a coarser abrasive and then finish with something like polywatch.
What would be a coarser abrasive? i have an older digital seiko watch in similar condition to the one pictured in the video, and I've tried polywatch, and while the display got clearer, the deeper scratches weren't effected.
@@wyatt1019, I use extremely fine wet and dry with water.
Well thank you, true love for Casio

thanks so much, i did the blow dryer thing & it worked for my watch!
Thanks for watching!
Wow man you made that watch look amazing
I need the Casio watch as shown in the video but gold plated.
That must be priced a little more
respect to you for the TLC to yr old watch..
Not bad ! I did swap the strap on my casio a159w and put in a f91w strap on it and oh my God it's so good looking and feeling better now ! At least it doesn't rip the hair on my wrist ( l suggest you to do the same thing when you buy a casio a159w )
Thanks! I have Casio a159w and other stainless steel band versions, but only wear them for special occasions because of that haha
can you polish the casio plastic resin cases to remove scratches?
Have you tried this? I was wondering the same thing, polywatch for the resin case?
You cannot use it case but in resin glass you can use it no problem
Technically,yes. As long as u use water u can wet sand pretty much anything to a polished shine
Wow, this casio watch looks so cool! I only have the casio a158w. I should of gotten this one instead. Nice job on the cleaning up!

I tried to put a NATO on mine but there isn’t room for anything but the metal strap. (Or, as it turns out, resin if you heat it!)
Yes, it's hard to squeeze a nato strap in there
Nice bid I enjoyed it
Thank you!
Very nice. Is that f91w strap?
Thanks! Yes it is F91W strap
Saw this just now as I was scrolling videos. Excellent video. I am in love with the music. What track/song is this?
As he said in the description, music is by Airglow Sounds:
th-cam.com/video/k4jwwbgJFJU/w-d-xo.html
@@Daud76 Thanks!
@@hissaanh.haqqani9758 Most welcome, friend. I am also in love with the music he used. 😊
damn, kinda dig the looks of silver resin case paired with black resin strap, maybe i should get a black nato strap with polished silver buckle for my casio a168wa
thanks for sharing my guy :D
Good job !
Thanks!
Good job. @2:42...But you rubbed the chrome coating of the metal of the watch. A vicious circle.
would the polywatch polish be fine to use on a casio edifice watch?
I live watching you work. It's like a bull using a hammer fixing a watch but still comes out OK.
haha that's exactly how it feels!
I use turtle wax polishing compound. Works great.
Is good for my watch The screen modification it is a Casio a159 -wgea
(What it's The song)
Good vidio
It will work with all plastic crystals. The Song is made by Airglow there's a link in the description.
Can I do this on the screen of my casio f91w? I know it's cheap watch but want to keep mine as long as possible
Yes they have the same resin crystal.
Excellent work
please mode it with color screen
Maybe i will
@@Techsas yeah, i'm waiting for that mod. because i have the one.
That perfect for you profeshnaL🇯🇴👍⚘
Thanks!!
Is it possible to use a permanent marker to paint the case? Mine started showing that red undercoat as well as the chrome started flaking on it.
What is polywatch? Are it is same like tootpaste? My daughter casio watch has scratch
It's polishing paste. You can try using toothpaste instead
@@Techsas ok thanks for the advice bro
Awesome 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks
I see the crystal on this watch is somewhat raised from the case. If you do this on an A158W where the crystal and case are leveled, do you risk damaging the case finish?
Yes, you will definitely damage the case. But a quick job with masking tape would prevent it. Just make sure to re-mask once the tape rips.
@@Techsas Got a nasty scratch on my A158. I appreciate the advice, I'll give it a shot.
Nice work friend, a watch like this can last forever, but, why did you choose the resin strap? The stainless steel ones it's better than the resin ones.
Thanks! That's a bold statement. I never had a resin strap break. I don't like the feel of a stainless steel one.
Nice, how old is this watch?
@@WhisperExtreme I have no idea. I don't think its old, just badly looked after.
I played the video on 1.25x and it was another beats experience
Hey man how did you end up getting that pin into there? I’ve tried heating it up with a blow dryer but the pin just seems to get stuck and then I end up trying to pull it out with plyers and end up breaking the pin???
Warm it, use some lube if necessary, use thinner pin.
Does this watch have acrylic crystals or MINERAL CRYSTALS
You should smear the abrasive paste on to the glass and let it dry before you start rubbing. It's the powder suspended in the paste which does the actual polishing.
Hice lo mismo con mi reloj Casio, y lo deje peor! 😭 Será que debo hacerlo con algodón?
How did you manage to make it worse? Try polishing in circular motion. It takes a lot of time, be patient. And yes, try using cotton pads.
@@Techsasthanks I'll do it
Nice video!!!
Thank you!
Ficou bem Bacana o resultado
Hi, I have the same watch Casio, I want to replace the strap on them, how many mm 18?
18mm
@@Techsas Thank you. 😀 👌
The strap is part of the good thing about the watch, as it is metal, ...
ohh as i was watching the video I was thinking "he's gonna remove the chrome plating from the plastic!!" and indeed he did T_T if you do this on a plastic silver case like this you have to be very careful not to polish the case at all. if you use a very flat and hard surface you might be able to get the "glass" to polish without touching the case, but the rag should be kind of thin aswell. or maybe just using your finder coated in cotton with polishing paste, and being super careful.
Yes
Woukd this work on a Garmin tactical watch/ 🍻👍🏻🇨🇦Ontario Kingston
Magnifico
Thanks!
I recently acquired a GMW-15. The glass might need some polishing (the watch is still on its way). Do you happen to know if polyWatch is available with the same name in Europe? If not, do you know alternative? Thanks in advance.
Can I remove marks and lines from a plastic I have a sports watch which has a plastic mirror
Nut sure which watch you're talking about
Do you buy replacement straps or do you steal them from new watches? (Talking about the f91w straps)
Mine have failed and I'm going to make a wooden f91w. might film it, I'll think about it
I take it off new watches. Wooden? Sounds sick!
You can buy an unbranded f91w from Aliexpress. Take the straps off and put onto the real casio f91w. Either that or just buy a new one.
@@fearlessfearless4497 except the quality won't be any good
@@LegoMan-cz4mn yeah, that's the problem. It's better to buy a new one, as replacing a strap will cost the same price as a new watch.
@@fearlessfearless4497 yeah, your right about that, I bought myself a new watch about about 3 weeks ago and the other one has been frankensteined into a wooden body
What tool is that for removing the strap I have 2 with a resin band and one is messed up.
Nice! Хороший канал !
Spasiba!
shame polywatch doesn't work
Nothing works if you have bananas for hands
Can you polish and remove the scratches from the front plate though ?
that;s not crystal screen, but resin screen
Clear part that covers the watch face is called crystal, plastic or glass. It has nothing to do with real crystals but that's how it's called.
Hey I’m about to mod my Casio a1582w to have a Camo back screen and I don’t know if I scratch the black paint from the inside of the face if the Casio logo and letters will come off too
It's different layer if you are careful it will stay.
Techsas thanks for replying. I actually just removed the whole thing and custom made my own Casio logo to put back on it.if you have a template of the a158w face I would appreciate it since I had to cut it by hand
My resin strap is a lil bit scratched and since I cant find the same one for my GA2100 can I polish it or something?
That's cool ,but where do you buy polywatch from ??
I'm sure you can find it on ebay
@@Techsas great thank you I will look in your that 👍
Tony Irving - I have bought it on Amazon. There are two kinds - one for plastic acrylic and one for glass. Good luck!
@@mikes.4136 ,hi thanks for the info, I will look in to that, 👍
Bro I have that exact same tattoo!!!!
Bro I see lots of people with similar tattoo
Techsas Bruh I never knew someone had the same thought as using your skin as a silhouette for a person. Unfortunately the guy who did mine screwed up and it ended up coming out like Doug from Nickelodeon so I got it filled in. Yours looks a billion times better 👍
@@jasonsandler6951 oh nooo Haha... I'm happy with mine now that I know it could’ve look like Doug from Nickelodeon..
you forgot to cover the case
Thanks, I'll do it tonight
Is it effective on g shock ga 100? Pls reply
I have no idea. If it's acrylic crystal then yes it will work.
What is background music name???
Is this the same for any digital watch by casio??
If it has acrylic crystal then yes. Most of new cheap ones do.
Hey I want this one
Where did you buy strap
can I use Brasso Metal Polish to do this?
Not sure. You can try it on some scrap plastic and see how it goes.
Yes you can. Back in the day, I used Brasso on my heavily scratched LG Prada phone and it looked good as new
Just use some toothpaste! It is about the same stuff OR auto scratch remover....
Yes.
resin acrilic
th-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/w-d-xo.html G-Shock...
does this work for g shock
If it's an actual glass you'll need to use paste that's made for glass and ideally need a buffing wheel
What is the model of this Casio please.
Casio A163WA-1QES my dude
@@Techsas Thank you very much.
Boa polidela
Até o cromado ia desaparecendo
Toothpaste does the same job..
True. And smells nice after
Like Colgate
a guy cleaning his watch...
That is me

Looks cheap with the new resin strap
Yes, it matches my face
@@Techsas funny, subscribed great channel mucka
@@jasonemanuel9070 Thanks
중간에 바르는 제품은 뭔가요?
Hi, I don't understand your comment, even with google translate... :/
@@Techsas What products do you use for polishing, like toothpaste?
@@user-gr1cu8oy5mBru, it shows up in the video a few times. There's also a link in the description. The product is called Polywatch.
Why u change the bands
Because I'm loco like that
Techsas do you still wear the watch?
@@o.k0078 I sold it long time ago
Techsas how much did u sell it for?
@@o.k0078 Can't remember
smartly change the glass hahahahab

Nice i like this video

The polywatch costs more than the watch itself. Better just buy a new watch.
Polywatch can be used multiple times. Your statement is incorrect
Do not use soap on youre watch it can cause damage
How can it cause damage? Please explain I'm interested.
@@Techsas it can make the plastic and rubber brittle
@@mr.milkstash4323 understood. Next time I'll use saliva only.
@@Techsas use watter
@@mr.milkstash4323 great idea
That replacement band looks like shit, should have just cleaned the stock band....
