Hey guys if you are interested in doing a similar mod to your watch there is a link to the oil I used in this video in the description.
I see only links to watches, not to the oil you used. Could you please provide it. Thank you
If you were diving you could see which way was up, like a level.
Wow yes very good point!
What were the test results? I have looked through your channel, and could not find anything aside from the unboxing video for this watch. Thank you in advance of your reply.
If you fill the watch you basically compansate the watch for depth. I'm a Subsea Hydraulic engineer and it's common practice to fill all air voids in our subsea vehicles to basically equalise the pressure from outside to in. Use something called a 'compansator'. Means we don't need to build a case that has to suvive the pressure of depth due to the pressure been equal and oppisite :) Need all the air out however. Need to do this mod myself haha.
Crazy! You just created the poor man's Sinn UX! :D
Hahaha yes kinda what I was going for. I might even try this with a Swiss dive watch one day...
@@WatchChris could be interesting for sure! But I do think this technique pairs best for the sub $100 quartz watches. Most Swiss quartz divers already have plenty of water resistance. But taking a cheepie with below-average WR to dive capable WR, that my friend is cool!
There's really no need to have it compression tested; it's filled with oil which is incompressible, and that tiny air bubble isn't going to make that much of a difference.
You could put the watch in a small vacuum chamber to suck out the bubbles from the oil.
The cheapest way might be to buy a fishing pellet pump (used for soaking expander pellets used as fishing bait). I have not tried this myself (well, not on watches) but it works well on fishing pellets.
The watch will continue to work...for a while but this mod will reduce the longevity of the stepper motor because you have created extra drag on the hands. Also check the accuracy of the watch which now may also be affected by the drag.
Hey tripadelica thanks for the comment. I actually just sent the watch out to a watch maker to test it for accuracy and water resistance. However I plan on testing it for accuracy at home on a regular basis. Thanks again for the comment. Please consider subscribing and hitting the like button. It's much appreciated and very helpful!!
I totally agree with you on the extra drag placed on the motor from the hands running in the thick oil. I also wonder if leaving the air bubble will compromise the water pressure test as the air compresses but oil does not? But neat test anyhow. Thank you
Brilliant thought. 👍
Crying out loud its fun amd cheap watch keep having fun, hell just to give it to your son he will enjoy it and never forget it
I guess that the oil will cause additional movement resistance, and it'll reduce battery time, I'd try that with a solar watch (e.g. MRW-S300H)
My battery died in my oil filled casio mrw-200h pretty quickly
In low temperature the oil will become sticky and increase the resistance for the movement. In high temperature it will expand and pop out the crystal. Oil filled watches must be specially designed for thoses effects and therefore are very expensive.
How the watch is going after 1 year of use it with solar watch, thinking want to try it
Nice mod! I hope you mod other cheapo Casios too
Thanks Yan! If you have any suggestions please let me know!
Temperature Viscosity (mm2/sec)
@ 250°C 7cSt(mm2/sec)
@ 200°C 11cSt(mm2/sec)
@ 100°C 46cSt(mm2/sec)
@ 50°C 167cSt(mm2/sec)
@ 25°C 400cSt(mm2/sec)
@ 0°C 1,770cSt(mm2/sec)
@ -25°C 24,800cSt(mm2/sec)
I guess the highest at 24,800 is the thickest as it can withstand the lowest temps. I got 400, seems pretty thick/high? There appears to be 167, 46, 11, 7. I'd imagine the thinnest possible would be the best for inside a watch?
Looks awesome...might try it on mine 👍
It looks great in person
Kienzle The Deepest (12,000 metres)
is filled with an oily fluid that guarantees its integrity even if subjected to 12,000 metres' depth pressure
It works. It's not leaking any oil from the crown? The Casio duro dive watch has a screw down crown and it's like $45-$50.
Yes it does work and it's not leaking any oil from the crown or anywhere else really. I was going to do with the duro However I figured if it worked with this watch and it doesn't have a screw down crown it would be more interesting to see what happens when it's water-resistant is tested. In the future I could possibly do the same with the duro. I would imagine The water resistance would be insane...
@@WatchChris Thx Chris I might do this as well seeing how cheap the Casio mrw200 is.
I can understand how filling watch with oil increases depth it's made neutral by removing the air , BUT I dont understand how a battery operated watch dont short out from the liquid or how the movement continues working and keeping time pushing all the oil around or how the paint dont wear off the face, never heard of this but Im curious how it works after months or years or if its a one dive deal or not, the whole thing reminds me of the movie "THE ABYSS" when the guy breathed liquid oxygen which worked real good on the movie but I wouldnt try that either.
Chris an amazing cool mod experiment my only question is what happens when it’s time for a battery change ? Do you change the battery or does the whole movement need to be replaced?
Hey good question only the battery needs replacing however you will need to add oil at the time of replacement because the oil will escape when you take the case back and battery off...
You go buy another watchand make it again its cheaper
how about the battery and the accuracy of the watch does it affect?
any update on this one yet?
Hey none yet and it's been a while I need to follow up with the watch maker...
th-cam.com/video/sZkrjHINtU8/w-d-xo.html
To remove the bubble. Unscrew the case back and then lift the case back enough to fit a syringe and push more oil into the watch and that should remove all of the air inside.
Poured silicone oil 100cst on my two quartz watches, a naviforce 9101 with S.Epson AL33A and Guanqin GS19101 with a Sunon movement. Both has stopped working to my dismay. Not sure if it's my oil (Dalkem Silicone Oil 100 cst).
extra drag on all the moving components is not negligible so yes... batteries will need to be replaced often
I did this and the second hand did not like the bubble, which I left in my mistake. Really, to me it looks much better without the bubble. I tried olive oil on one watch and the white dial had a yellow/green tinge. In the Casio I used baby oil. Silicone would probably have been better. Anybody doing this, you could probably push or pull the bubble out with a syringe.
Which oil did you use??
wouldn't the oil seep out from the crown hole when you pop out the crown to reset the time/date?
Hey thanks for the question no it would stay in since there is a seal at the crown, since it has 100m water resistance.. Thanks for the question. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!
Liquids are incompressible. When the temperature rises the oil will expand and pop out the crystal or deform the case.
I have silicone oil for photocopy machine coming in a couple days. Again, these bottles don't say the cSt number but just say "PHOTOCOPY" on the bottle to tell you what it's used for. But I googled photocopy silicone oil and I got:
Silicone Fuser Oil for Photocopier, Grade: cst 10
Grade cst 10
Purity 99%
Weight 10 Ml

Did you get this watch pressure tested?
Hi yes I have a video coming soon
@@WatchChris Thanks Chris. I'm very interested in the outcome. I suspect an oil filled watch will comfortably handle 1000 meters.

Does filling the watch with oil decrease time between replacing the battery?
certainly,but try a watch with no second hand
I'm no scientist, but I feel like I'm becoming one. It would appear that mineral oil is "thinner" than silicone oil At 50degreesC silicone oil is 167cSt, at 40degreesC mineral oil is less than 34.5cSt. Similar temps, big difference in viscosity
Viscosity: < 34.5 cSt at 40o C (< 172 SUS at 100o F) - measured via ASTM D 445
You are absolutely correct in your statements regarding viscosity. However, for me the issue with mineral oil is, it has a very damaging effect on some plastics.
DOT 5 brake fluid maybe?
Highly Corrosive though
@@brandonar868 DOT 5 brake fluid (not to be confused with DOT 5.1) is fundamentally different than the rest of the DOT fluid range in that it is silicone based brake fluid.
It was originally introduced to give a higher boiling temperature over glycol-based DOT 4 brake fluid. Purple in colour and sometimes referred to as 'synthetic brake fluid', DOT 5 is not compatible with any of the glycol-ether based DOT fluids that we've been focusing our attention on so far.
Although tests have been carried out by the various hydraulic mountain bike brake manufacturers, DOT 5 has so far not proven itself to be a better alternative to glycol-ether based fluids used in hydraulic mountain bike brakes today.
It is also more compressible than the other DOT brake fluids which can lead to a sluggish or spongy brake lever (or pedal) feel, and therefore requires special design considerations when used in brake systems.
Furthermore DOT 5 is hydrophobic and does not absorb water from the atmosphere like regular DOT brake fluid will
@@SuperLordofwar1 Ohh I know DOT 3 and 4 Fluids are really corrosive and strip paint and stain plastics, Was not aware DOT 5 doesn't do this too
4 years later did it leak?
Anybody try this in an iphone?
hola sé puede hacer el procedimiento con aceité mineral y que aceites sé pueden utilizar para el proceso gracias
Crazy
How did it hold up? Did the battery die too quickly?
Did you get around to depth testing it?
Whats going to happen when the oil heats up, something is going to pop!
Could do... But it would have to be very hot
Nice watch, mine is white face one with green dials😁 maybe u can use this watch to do bury test or dog test😂
Lol yes not a bad idea right now I have sent it to the watch repair shop for them to test water resistantence!
@@WatchChris thats nice 😁 i enjoy watching all ur watches tough test series😁 hope can see more types of watches getting test😄 (while im doing tests on my watches too...but i cant take vid)
@@makotojerry620 awesome thanks very much! What tests are you doing? Any suggestions for me?
@@WatchChris doing something bout science 😂 i buried 4 of my watches (my casio MTP-1296, Casio AE-1400WH, MRW-200H and Gshock GA-100-1A) into a pot of baby plant each for a long time (until months), and observe how radioactives and materials of watches bring effects to plants and see which plants grown up healthier and which watch cause the plant died (for me, Analogue + Digital watch such as Gshock GA-100-1A cause the plant died, but plant that MRW-200H buried in grown up healthier😂)
@@WatchChris i also do aquarium test which keep my watches (Casio MTP-1296, Gshock DW-6900 and Casio LTP-V300) in the aquarium to see which watches can stay for the longest time in the aquarium (gshock stay the most and my friend's fish love MTP-1296 the most as they keep.swimming around it and the remora fish like stick on it face😂😂)
Hello from Russia! )) I would like to add 50 cSt silicone oil to my G-SHOCK
GW-B5600BC-1E. Do you think the clock will break from this? I am worried that they will stop beeping, and the buttons will stop working .. (
Hello, how is the clock after 2 years?
What's the oil viscosity (cst)?
Hi the oil is 100 cst. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!
What kind of oil you put?
Hey a link to the oil I used in in the description of the video!
What kind/type of oil did you use?
Hey there is a link to the oil in the description thanks!
ive done this many times and regular baby oil works great. two years running strong!
mmmm....olive oil. Can take it out for Italian!
Lol
@@WatchChris I've got a Timex Grid Shock that is fogging on inside now after battery change. I'm going to try it out. Has a big window on this Timex. Should be neato. I'm going to do it now and I'll post an update.
@@cybrscot awesome thanks
Done. I didn't have any silicone oil or mineral oil handy, and olive oil is just too good to waste so I used sunflower oil. LOL I never do anything right the first time. I got a bubble free installation and with the big window was kinda actually hoping for a bubble. Watch was working fine, until I pressed some of the buttons on the side, and it went bezerk and died. RIP Timex Grid Shock.
@@cybrscot oh man idk if sunflower oil is the way to go...
there should be no air (bubble) inside the Watch
I think ,in regular use, this little bubble may work as oil heat extending compensator.
If watch is 100% oil filled and get warm( in direct sun), where extended oil will go?
It should leak out, pushing out o-rings.
Just thoughts...
@@sergeygrakovsky2749 the Expansion of the oil causend by heat is less that that of the case
So in an extreme case the watch would rather implode
But in real life use It will be no problem and the advantage of higher pressure resistance is only there if there is no air left in the case
Sinn hydro (oil filed case) is also without any bubbles (only without bubbles you get the oil advantages of better visibility and higher pressure resistance)
How did you make the intro?
Where's the intro song from
Hey it's a take on stranger things
Omg!! Thank you it was bugging the he🏒🏒 out of me. I just got some oil myself and will be trying it soon I love the idea
How not to oil fill a watch!
Ah can you point me to your video of how to oil fill a watch? Thanks for the comment btw.
Folks, I would say this is not legit. Maybe a way to get us to buy more watches. I have done 3 since yesterday. Today I got silicone oil and did a Skmei watch that is similar to a Casio, camo and a big dial digital. Got a nice bubble. When I pressed the light button it worked, but I noticed the watches "beeping" no longer worked. It wasn't beeping. I pressed the other buttons, then the display freaked out and looked like the digits on the terminator's arm control panel, then all the buttons stopped working and the display is stuck on in the alarm mode. Cannot change it. Then, as if ruining 2 watches wasn't enough, I figured I'd try a cheap analog "Brooklyn" watch company, with a swiss Rhonda movement. I filled it with the oil, put it together, and the seconds hand can't move in the oil. Maybe it's too thick for the power of the movement. I removed the case back again and drained the oil. (there is no cleaning out the oil, if you use soap and water you kill it of course) I let it drain as much as possible, and the seconds hand still doesn't tick but it just agitates in place, stuttering forward and backward but not going forward. That's 3 watches down. I don't own a watch shop, but I'm going to have to buy one if I' to continue trying this. I would say don't do it. Once you start pressing buttons you're requiring current to move and the oil is non conductive, so it cannot transmit electric signal. So, if the battery and the contacts are all soaked in oil, how's the current supposed to get through to the other side?
My last watch, an Invicta Russian diver, anticipated to be the coolest hydro mod because of the large 50mm case....I was thinking of switching to mineral oil? It is a little less dense than silicone oil.
100% legit my friend I have 3 watches I have done this with you need to use specific viscosity oil which I got on Amazon also I used silicone oil... I'm not the only one who has done this mod it definitely works. I have an update coming soon on my gshock that I modded with oils and extreme tested...
@@WatchChris So the secret is the weight, which not 1 youtuber mentioned. Not 1. "This is a 2oz bottle of Team Associated silicone shock oil used with oil filled shocks. Team Associated shock oil is made from 100% pure silicone oil and will not thin out in hot weather or thicken up in cold weather. The higher the weight number of the oil, the thicker the oil is.
100% pure silicone oil I did not know I was looking for something other than that.
@@cybrscot the viscosity matters I have a link in my video description
Whats the big deal Seiko made to over 4000 meters with an air filled case....why mess with the oil at all just get a seiko problem solved
