What's your opinion on the new casios? Ones like B640WC-5A, LA680WEGL-5EF , LW-204-1ACF. Is the busy face with all the text part of Casio's identity or is it just nostalgia?
Actually, Casio could have installed such a plate straight away. Why they would still install such a useless light in 2024 is also difficult to understand. Nice video bro!
Haha, good point. 👌 Thinking from Casio’s point of view, I imagine they’re reluctant to alter the production line and source new materials, when they have probably optimised their supply chain. Thanks for the feedback, Bogi! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Its probably because they need to apply for a new pattent for that improvement? Which they totally didnt do for that minimalisted F-91W thats the 3rd time they missed this chance to improve the LED backlight for the F series.
Oh absolutely, Vienna! 💯 I wasn’t expecting this much either 😅 I agree. It’s not for everyone, and it needs a few tools to be done safely. I will say it’s super satisfying to have completed it though 🤩💭
I experimented a lot with backlite in Casios, I recently made one like you did, but I just used a piece of reflective plastic from an armband for cyclists, it works the same way but it also makes the display reflect light from far away :D Of course to do that I had to remove the backlite foil that you still left on yours, you need to peel it carefully as its glue to the polarizer on the back of the LCD, Then after adding that reflective plastic I put in very thin foil taken out of recycled lcd screen (mirror like surface) I do lot of experiments like that but I am too scared of criticism so I don't put it on the internet.
What a resourceful solution!! I’d love to see some pics in the Discord of how it turned out, if you wouldn’t mind sharing 👀👌 Man, your contributions would be SO Valuable to put out there! I guarantee people would love to see it... The people in the discord especially 😁
Awesome! 🤩 Glad to hear it was effective in making your W-59 more wearable in terms of wrist time. 👌 Would love to see a pic of how it turned out in the Discord, if you wouldn't mind sharing! 🙏
Just finished my own bumblebee! Hope you dont mind me copying it straight off, through your links. Superhappy with it! What an upgrade. The nato though.... My god that was a struggle to get on. Much love ✌
@@amokkse Fantastic work, man! 🙌 Haha, not at all, my man! 😁 Happy to share the love - it’s inspiring to hear when people follow along with these builds. 👌 I’m sure people would love to see how it turned out if you wouldn’t mind sharing in our Discord! 🤩 Oh man, I know the struggle! 😂 Glad you got the NATO strap on in the end ✌️
Much like my old Casio diver style watch the combination of yellow and black is unbeatable. I was nervous watching the mod but was excited and relieved that it was a sweet success. Bravo to you!
great video, watch looks fantastic. Question and/or video idea "if I was just beginning to collect Casio and had $500 what watches would you tell me to get and why those"
Ottimo. Video interessante ed educativo, immagino sia una grande soddisfazione riuscire a fare queste MOD . . In questo caso specifico il lavoro che hai dovuto affrontare mi sembra troppo rispetto al risultato, ma comunque la soddisfazione è la cosa che più importa
Thanks for your viewership! 👌 It is indeed incredibly satisfying 🤩🐝 I agree, there was a lot of work involved for a somewhat margin benefit… but the connection I now feel with this watch is unmatched! 😁 Thanks so much for weighing in 🙏
It sure looks great on that yellow/black bond slyle nato strap. Good job with the mods! Also an nfc tag somwhere would be helpful for some emergency info like emergency contacts or things like that.
The Bumblebee is looking amazing! I've been trying to find one but seems to be impossible! I just find the all black one. Looking forward to getting one and putting a yellow strap! Congratulations on the channel!
Cheers Lucas! I’m so happy with this one 🤩🤩 Yeah the all black one is cool but it just doesn’t have that same Bumblebee vibe! I’ve left links in the description to where to get them for you.
Always love how fun ur way to review, my question is more like an request: "do u interested to review a casio ana digi watch? Like the aw 80 or aq series"
I know exactly what you mean, Mitch. 😅👌 It's crazy to think that fixing this backlight issue costs as much as the watch, or more! It all comes down to how much value you place on the backlight, and knowing that your watch is 'custom' so to speak. Definitely not for everyone! Thanks for weighing in 🙏
Thank you! 🙏 I don’t see why not for the gradient!… Though I imagine the module may be assembled slightly differently, so the backlight mod probably wouldn’t fit exactly 🤔 (But then again, who needs a backlight mod on a SKMEI ☀️😎)
I just got into watches and watching your videos is great.! please keep the videos going! and a question, I just recently got a casio and I’d not think about getting a screen protector if I hadn’t seen this video. Should I get one? should I install a screen protector to every watch I get? what is your advice?
Welcome to the hobby, Mert! 😄 Thanks so much for your viewership, and for the question! 🙏 I’ll cover this in the Q&A for you - but short answer is: Resin screen? YES! Mineral Glass? NO! 😁
That's a great mod mate, it looks really cool. I've had Casios since about 1979 but just got into modding them in the last 6 months. The best fun!! I've watched a few of your videos and I love your enthusiasm and passion for Casios. I actually thought I'd already subscribed....I'm always doing that! Now I definitely have so looking forward to more great content. With appreciation and kind regards, Rik.
Cheers! 🐝👀 Amazing - You’re in for an interesting, and highly rewarding journey 😁👌 I love being efficient, and unique. That’s what drives the passion! 🤩 I appreciate your feedback, and viewership. Thanks so much, Rik! 🙏🐝
Ma possibile che non è chiara questa cosa, non è un problema, è una caratteristica di quell’orologio. Hanno fatto tanti altri modelli per accontentare questa necessita… se dopo tutti questi anni è ancora così venduto questo modello ci sará un motivo?
Fair call, man! 👌 I can see the appreciation of the original light. There are indeed other models which have a brighter light. BUT! I hope you understand my reason: I absolutely LOVE the appearance and design of the Casio Bumblebee, which other models with better backlight do not share. Making this mod a great idea 🤩👌 Thanks for weighing in thanks 🙏
Looks great! Watching you go through all the steps as effortless as you do makes me wonder if I may be starting a new watch-modding hobby soon! BTW, my wife is obsessed with goats so she already loves your channel as well! Cheers!
Nice job! , one of the best things of casio watches is that you can customize it on differents ways, i wish casio made a xxl versions of those models with mineral glass of course!, great video my friend
That would be really cool, wouldn’t it? XXL Bumblebee! 🤩🐝 I would love there to be mineral glass too… But you know what? They would probably raise the price higher than it would cost to buy a screen protector, so maybe not 😜 Thanks David! 🙏
Amazing!! 🤩 I’m so glad you’re happy with the upgrade, and that it went well for you 👌 I’d love to see how it turned out if you wouldn’t mind posting a pic in our Discord channel 👀🙏
Have yet to try an F-94. I love my F-91s, so I know I would probably like it. And I must be a weirdo because I think the backlight is fine. That being said, I have been wanting to try the diffuser just to see how much of a difference it makes.
It’s not weird at all, Jonathan! I’ve heard from quite a few that they have grown to love it, or have nostalgia for it. At the end of the day, it gets the job done in the pitch black doesn’t it 😁
I like that light mod casio should really consider make them like that. About the give away. My mother used to have a bumblebee like that when she was dating my father but she lost it. We got her a new one a few years ago for her birthday. She was very happy and she immediately brought out the a photo where she is wearing it. It would be nice to have the same watch with my mom but I'm still glad I clicked on this video maybe I'm going to mod her watch like this for her next birthday. :)
Cheers Dimpfelmoser 🙏 That’s a likely reason, I agree! It has to be juuust right 😁👌 My understanding of the secret, is that it’s the textured surface on that one side. By having these small pits in the material, it can catch and diffuse the light,instead of reflecting off it like when it’s a smooth, flat surface. 👌
Great build and tutorial as always! Thanks for sharing! What is one mod you thought would turn out great but ended up not going to plan or never made it to TH-cam?
I hv this same watch I hv been using it for a couple of months now (bought it in November '24 after watching your video) Wearing it almost everyday Though the backlight is not that good but it serves it's purpose (maybe because i'm young and have a good eve sight) Its a minimalistic strong lightweight pocketfriendly watch n i can get all the information i need with just a quick glance (time date day) So thank you Sir 🙏🏻
Absolutely awesome to share this watch with you! 🤩🙌🐝 I agree with all your points 💯 And yes in the dark of night, it is possible to read the time with the standard backlight. But as an enthusiast of the watch, it’s nice to try and perfect it as well 😁👌 Thanks for your long timer viewership and support! 🙏
I want to install these mods on my bumblebee too :) Thank you very much cuz I now have a very epic guide 😎 Also question: How long does it take for you to organise and pair-up your socks?
That's THE BEST engraving I've EVER seen .... I WANT THAT WATCH! QUESTION: If you could MOD your Bumblebee with a MOD that's not available, what would you wish for???
HAHAHA! Right? 🤣 Even after the practice run... It was just so slippery. Glad you can appreciate its artistic value 😎 What a fantastic question, Vegan! 🙏 Thank you - and best of luck in the giveaway 🤞
Amazing video, very underrated channel. I am also looking to get started modding watches, I am gonna buy a GAB-2100 and modify it, hopefully it goes well 🤞🏻
I had some issues with the W800 when I put NATO and bungee strap on it. The lugs are too short, and I had to file down some material from the case to make the lugs... longer? So, didn't you noticed the same when added those straps to the "bumble bee"?
Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that. There was no issue with the width of the lugs being too small, as I made sure to get an 18mm strap to match the 18mm lugs of the Bumblebee. I believe the lug width of a W800H is 18mm too. Did the strap size match this? 🤔
Awesome content as always this bubble bee mod was made to perfection... I don't know why casio can't just fix the back light , they used to be good .... Q: iv dun quite a few hydro mods on both digital and analog watches and I just don't think it looks that good on digital watches , I have a few casios I regret hydro modding . Thoughts?
Until now, I didn‘t even know, that there is a casio bumblebee🐝 version out there. 😳 So I googled and it is not available in germany, that’s why 😭. Or maybe I am just too stupid to find one. Amazing tuning that you did to that watch. I absoluteley love it. Congrats to 5000+ subscibers. And I have to say, totally deserved. 🫶🏻
Awesome, I’m glad to have been able to share this great Casio model with you! 🐝👌 Best of luck finding them! I left a link in the description which has it on both Amazon and eBay. Thanks so much for the support, Verena! 🙏❤️
@@KTIPClips Good idea, KT! 👌 I did test the SKMEI Module in Casios identical sized F-91W, in the following episode, but to no avail unfortunately: th-cam.com/video/7t51u2TtqEs/w-d-xo.html It would appear that SKMEI made them a slightly different size.
Outstanding mod. Great video. I thought you were going to engrave a goat. 😁 Have you ever thought about installing a glow in the dark strip behind the LCD? You could give lume to watches that have no light at all like the CA53.
@@radla9507 Thank Rad! 🙏❤️ This one was inspired by the design on the face of watch. During my unboxing video, I immediately noticed the bee-like stripes. So it earned the nickname “The Casio Bumblebee”, and the rest is history 😁🐝 Here’s the video in question: 🥊 F94W unBOXING 🎁 Can this Watch K.O. the F91W? ⌚ th-cam.com/video/vASOFydQlF0/w-d-xo.html
I haven't noticed my Elastomeric connector(zebra strip) is fallen on the ground and I crushed it with my chair wheel.😭 I killed my w217h while trying to do this today. New parts on aliexpress $10 vs new watch $20 LOL...
OMG! I am so sorry to hear this Manul 😱 “Hmmm, ok got to be very careful with my Zebra strip… wait a minute! Where is it?! Uh oh…” 🥲 I can see this happening to others… it slips out quite easily! Best of luck with your spare parts mod, I’m glad you found them for cheaper on AliExpress! 🤞
Hi Mohamed 👋 I must admit I am unfamiliar with this model, but after looking it up, it is very cool! 👌 As a watch that's not in production currently, I doubt there are diffuser mods and screen protectors that will precisely fit the size. That being said, I imagine one of the more common screen protectors (That I linked in the description) could potentially be used anyway, if it were a similar size! I have done so on my Casio A500W, and while the fit of the Screen Protector is not 'perfect', I am still satisfied with the protection that it offers. Hope this helps! 🙏
@@goatreviews I think I have to compare both the famous F-91 screen size and the vintage 108 A855.I hope the LCD size is the same, in that case I may use F-91 diffuser to 108.thanks a lot👍
because its cheaper :D I also wondered why in the world ale they still using upwards pointing LEDs there is sideways oriented smt ones available, that would fix 50% of the problems.
I hydromodded my DW-291h, and added an NFC chip to it too! Would you be interested in making a video about it? Its one of the easiest mods for this specific watch I think.
I have seen an NFC mod before, and in fact I ordered some thin NFC pads so I could do this 👀 I’m a little unsure of the direction I would take it though - do you have any solid use-cases that I could show that it’s worth doing? 🙏
@goatreviews I use it to open my apartment building's front door. Sadly the payments option is non viable since the chip in my debit card is too big. I used a 5x5mm nfc chip, sanded the edges down as close as possible without breaking it, took off the screws on the watch's faceplate and found a spot right above the Casio logo, sanded (filed) down the brim of the faceplate and it fit right there. It can also fit in the slot on the right hand side of the watch under the faceplate, you need to file down the little tab and it fits under it. In my case, the door NFC reader wouldn't read the chip if it was on the side, so I had to place it above the logo. On the side it makes it sleeker.
@@nickz526 you absolute mad genius!! 🧠👨🏻🔬 The ones I got are almost just a thin sticker. That’s such a cool idea. Well done, and thanks for sharing! 👌

Do you plan on collecting high end Casios such as the Oceanus in the future?
Thank you for the question! 🙏
Good one. Thanks!
What's your opinion on the new casios? Ones like B640WC-5A, LA680WEGL-5EF , LW-204-1ACF. Is the busy face with all the text part of Casio's identity or is it just nostalgia?

Thanks so much, Axe! 🙏 I agree - it’s insanely stylish now and the theme is just a match made in heaven 🐝👌

Indeed it is! 😎🐝👌 Thanks for the question, Yoprajo! 🙏
Beautiful mod, I didn't think you could fit a nato strap on that tiny space🤔 would they fit in a f-91w too?
Thank you 😄 It was a bit of a squeeze! Yes they would also fit an F-91W too, as the dimensions are identical 👌

Cheers Drav!! 🙏 It’s a looker alright 🤩 👀
Loved to see the mod, i didnt expect casio to degrade their product.
I’m reluctant to say it’s malicious - I’m going to assume it’s just cheaper, or they don’t care
Great video mate, my F94 arrived from Amazon earlier this week. Have yet to wear it tho.
Nice one - Hope you enjoy it! 🐝👌🤩
I wanna this mod bumblebee! I never saw this model here in Brazil...
It's such a dope watch, right?! 🤩🔥 Glad to have introduced it to you 😁
The bumblebee looks amazing and congratulations!
Thanks so much Raghav! 🙏 I agree, it looks spectacular and I’m so happy with it 🐝🤩
I had some issues with the W800 when I put NATO and bungee strap on it. The lugs are too short, and I had to file down some material from the case to make the lugs... longer? So, didn't you noticed the same when added those straps to the "bumble bee"?
Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that. There was no issue with the width of the lugs being too small, as I made sure to get an 18mm strap to match the 18mm lugs of the Bumblebee.
I believe the lug width of a W800H is 18mm too. Did the strap size match this? 🤔
The double yellow stripe nato absolutely makes that watch.
It sure does 💯👌 Nothing says “BUMBLEBEE” quite like it!
The final mod looks great!
Thanks Lucas! I’m super happy with it too 🐝👌
This is cool, definitely thinking to give this modding gig a bit of a spin after watching this!
Good stuff, fellow Tim! 🙏 It can be extremely rewarding and satisfying to complete these mods
@@goatreviews I've already planned to get some Vario kit to jazz up a Royale, but prior to that I think I need to try something simpler
Cool mod! The lighting turned out great.
Thanks Joao! 🙏 I’m real happy with it - Wearing it right now 😎 Night time viewing is a breeze! 🤩
It looks ... or better stings like a bumblebee!!
Nice work!!
Cheers Daniel! 😂👌
I’m sure there’s a song about this one 🎶🐝😁
Awesome content as always this bubble bee mod was made to perfection... I don't know why casio can't just fix the back light , they used to be good ....
Q: iv dun quite a few hydro mods on both digital and analog watches and I just don't think it looks that good on digital watches , I have a few casios I regret hydro modding . Thoughts?
I appreciate the feedback, Fernando! 😁 It would be nice to have an updated module.
Thanks so much for the question - This is a good one! 🙏
That new modded Bumblebee looks fantastic! Great job.
Thanks a bunch! I’m loving it so far. 🐝👌
The back light and gradient mod was epic 😱
its also my favorite watch 💟
Thank you! And what an EXCELLENT choice for your favourite watch 😁👌
Congrats on 5K subscribers, keep up the good work! For your Q & A: Who would win a fight, either 1 G shock or 5 Casio F91-Ws?😀
Amazing question!! Thanks so much haha 🙏
Until now, I didn‘t even know, that there is a casio bumblebee🐝 version out there. 😳 So I googled and it is not available in germany, that’s why 😭. Or maybe I am just too stupid to find one. Amazing tuning that you did to that watch. I absoluteley love it. Congrats to 5000+ subscibers. And I have to say, totally deserved. 🫶🏻
Awesome, I’m glad to have been able to share this great Casio model with you! 🐝👌
Best of luck finding them! I left a link in the description which has it on both Amazon and eBay.
Thanks so much for the support, Verena! 🙏❤️
@@goatreviews 🫶🏻
nice mod. Which are your top 3 watches in your collection?
The mod light looks fantastic
Cheers Haryder! 🔥🙏
I agree. I’m so happy with it! 🤩
I'm not even interested in watches but you made it entertaining 👍
Haha, this is awesome to hear! Thanks so much 😁🙏
Saludos desde Colombia, un buen maestro hace ver las cosas fáciles, gracias por compartir. será un orgullo portar ese reloj.
G’day Jose! 👋 Thank you for the feedback, I’m glad you found the video useful. 🙏
Greetings from Australia! 🦘
Great video as always mate and congratulations on the 5k 👍 What direction are you planning on taking your watch collecting in the next year?
Great question! Thanks Macro! 🍻
Hey i enjoy watching your videos 😍.
Do suggest a casio watch for office use that I can wear everyday. Thank you.
Will do! Thanks for the question 🙏
Congrats on 5k man! Congrats from England! 🏴 What got you into watch collecting/modding? Also, what is your favourite watch on your collection?
Great questions! Thanks man 🙏
Te ha quedado fantástico tanto el reloj como el vídeo, siguiéndote desde el principio a ver si hay suerte,saludos desde Sevilla España. ⌚
Thanks so much for your long timer viewership! 🙏 Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🦘
I wonder if one could just swap the internals of a Skmei instead of all that for the back light.
@@KTIPClips Good idea, KT! 👌
I did test the SKMEI Module in Casios identical sized F-91W, in the following episode, but to no avail unfortunately:
th-cam.com/video/7t51u2TtqEs/w-d-xo.html
It would appear that SKMEI made them a slightly different size.
Outstanding mod. Great video. I thought you were going to engrave a goat. 😁 Have you ever thought about installing a glow in the dark strip behind the LCD? You could give lume to watches that have no light at all like the CA53.
Haha, that would have been cool too! 🐐👌
That sounds like an interesting idea! 👀
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏
What a great mod video, congratulations on 5000 subscribers.
Thanks so much for your support Nabi! 🙌❤️
Hello Mate, you know what ? i don't have this gem in my collection ....
Hey Carlo! it's a fantastic little watch... SO simple, and one of my fav's 🐝🤩
Can you make videos on how to make upgrades to automatic or mechanical watches?
Thanks for the question, PanPan! 🙏
The modded watch looks great! The gradient yellow really makes it look amazing! Congrats on 5000 subscribers!
Thank you so much! I am super happy with the watch (wearing it right now 🤩), and also this incredible milestone!
Such a awesome mod! Thanks for the chance.
Thanks Captain! 🫡 No worries, best of luck in the giveaway! 🤞
Fantastic look. I wonder what inspires you
@@radla9507 Thank Rad! 🙏❤️ This one was inspired by the design on the face of watch. During my unboxing video, I immediately noticed the bee-like stripes. So it earned the nickname “The Casio Bumblebee”, and the rest is history 😁🐝
Here’s the video in question:
🥊 F94W unBOXING 🎁 Can this Watch K.O. the F91W? ⌚
th-cam.com/video/vASOFydQlF0/w-d-xo.html
Are you planning in making a series out of this? ie issue that casio refuses to fix?
Thanks for the question! 👌
I haven't noticed my Elastomeric connector(zebra strip) is fallen on the ground and I crushed it with my chair wheel.😭 I killed my w217h while trying to do this today. New parts on aliexpress $10 vs new watch $20 LOL...
OMG! I am so sorry to hear this Manul 😱
“Hmmm, ok got to be very careful with my Zebra strip… wait a minute! Where is it?! Uh oh…” 🥲
I can see this happening to others… it slips out quite easily!
Best of luck with your spare parts mod, I’m glad you found them for cheaper on AliExpress! 🤞
Can I backlight diffuser to my vintage Casio watch 108 A855?,also is there any screen protect for it? thanks
Hi Mohamed 👋 I must admit I am unfamiliar with this model, but after looking it up, it is very cool! 👌
As a watch that's not in production currently, I doubt there are diffuser mods and screen protectors that will precisely fit the size.
That being said, I imagine one of the more common screen protectors (That I linked in the description) could potentially be used anyway, if it were a similar size! I have done so on my Casio A500W, and while the fit of the Screen Protector is not 'perfect', I am still satisfied with the protection that it offers. Hope this helps! 🙏
@@goatreviews I think I have to compare both the famous F-91 screen size and the vintage 108 A855.I hope the LCD size is the same, in that case I may use F-91 diffuser to 108.thanks a lot👍
@@mohamedamer8833 No problem my friend! Happy to help 👌
Great video my friend. I would love for you to do a Q.A style video for sure.
Cheers Skyler! I’m excited to do one soon 😁
Can you please make video of modding a casio lcd display to negative display witch how digits red or green or yellow or purple?
Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏
That watch really looks good!
Cheers Tom! 🍻
The watch looks great, great mod!! And congrats on you 5k subs
Thanks so much Rob! 😁🙌
🐝 i really enjoy the inexpensive casio mod vids. uv inspired me to mod a couple of my own casios :)
Thanks for the kind words Dan! It’s an amazing feeling to inspire people with these mods. Best of luck with this one! 🐝🤞
Love the videos man. Got me to mod a few of my watches. It’s fun
It sure is Garfield! Thanks for the feedback, I’m delighted to have inspired you 😁
I love triste watch and I would like to be the owner of this perfect design
Cheers Jorge! Best of luck in the giveaway 🤞
Turned out fantastic! 👍
Much appreciated, Scot! 🙏 I’m super happy with it 🤩🐝
Wow, didn't knew that the non functional backlight could be fixed. Seeing the mod made me realise why casio didn't do this in the first place.
because its cheaper :D I also wondered why in the world ale they still using upwards pointing LEDs there is sideways oriented smt ones available, that would fix 50% of the problems.
Yeah it’s not that well known! Glad to share this intel 😁
Good looking mod! It's too bad that casio still uses those old backlights in the F91W, and similar models.
Thanks man! At this stage I reckon their massive scale of production would take too much of a hit to try and make adjustments now 😁
@@goatreviews True!
Ok this is absolutely fantastic 😮
Thanks so much Jožo! 🙏 I’m loving it 🤩
I hydromodded my DW-291h, and added an NFC chip to it too! Would you be interested in making a video about it? Its one of the easiest mods for this specific watch I think.
I have seen an NFC mod before, and in fact I ordered some thin NFC pads so I could do this 👀
I’m a little unsure of the direction I would take it though - do you have any solid use-cases that I could show that it’s worth doing? 🙏
@goatreviews I use it to open my apartment building's front door. Sadly the payments option is non viable since the chip in my debit card is too big. I used a 5x5mm nfc chip, sanded the edges down as close as possible without breaking it, took off the screws on the watch's faceplate and found a spot right above the Casio logo, sanded (filed) down the brim of the faceplate and it fit right there. It can also fit in the slot on the right hand side of the watch under the faceplate, you need to file down the little tab and it fits under it. In my case, the door NFC reader wouldn't read the chip if it was on the side, so I had to place it above the logo. On the side it makes it sleeker.
@@nickz526 you absolute mad genius!! 🧠👨🏻🔬 The ones I got are almost just a thin sticker.
That’s such a cool idea. Well done, and thanks for sharing! 👌
@@goatreviews how can I send you some images ?
@@nickz526 the best way would be to jump into the GOAT Reviews Discord, and post them there. Otherwise, you could send them to my email (both are linked in the description under the Contact section) 👌
