Internal rotating bezel

As I said, the manufacturing company was unsure on the best way to make the internal rotating bezel that I had designed be 'unidirectional'. Well that may be fixed now and below you can see an image of how that mechanism would look.

Completed watch design drawings

Image
Below is the most recent version of the watch design specifications. This is the working drawing that I was asked to create and provide to the brand owner and manufacturer so that they could take my design and translate into mechanical drawings and eventually a prototype. Can wait to see how it works out.

Boiling a Casio G-Shock Mudman

Image
The buttons on the Casio G-Shock Mudman series are notoriously stiff to depress, mine appear to be no exception. Several people online have said that by boiling the bezel for 20-30 minutes you can soften them up. Well I have some spare time and a digital camera handy so I’m going to see if this crazy idea works. Note: If you do not have the correct tools for doing this I suggest you stop right here . The screws on the Mudman are very small (little buggers) and without the correct screwdrivers you stand the chance of badly stripping the heads. Also, I take *no* responsibility for you doing this at home and ruining your watch. Getting started: This is entirely optional. I am going to remove the straps on my Mudman to make things a little easier. I’m also going to throw them into the boiling water to see if the straps get softer after boiling. Once the straps have been removed it makes it a little easier to handle the main body of the watch. The next step is to remove the four scre...

Brief G-Shock bezel stealthing guide

Image
Here is a very simple, stealthing project. I am planning to do a lot more to my little DW-5600 like reverse the display, stealth the faceplate (if possible), but for now I wanted to stealth the bezel (remove the white paint). The first step was to gather all the necessary equipment. For me that means Goof Off (not Goo Gone or any similar sounding products), a small ceramic bowl/dish (plastic ones may melt with the Goof Off inside it) this is one I made myself, a small pair of tweezers, and an old toothbrush or scrubbing brush. I removed the bezel from my DW-5600 and poured just enough of the Goof Off into the bottom of the bowl to cover the bottom. I place the bezel in the bowl face down so that the lettering was constantly submerged. Doing it this way saves using a lot of unnecessary Goof Off. I set my count down timer (CDT) for 20 minutes and stuck the bowl outside to avoid the nasty smell/fumes. Beep, beep! Ok 20 minutes is up and I lift out the bezel using the tweezers. I take the...
