tried smartwatches for about 2 years too. so amazed in the beginning but eventually got tired of the need for daily charging. then started my addiction to more traditional watches. hope you liked the video and could consider subscribing to the channel. more cheap watch reviews to come. thanks!
The Casio AE1200WH, also widely known as the Casio Royale, has a modding community that has embraced this inexpensive copy of a Seiko G757, which was worn by Roger Moore in the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy and turned it into a bit of a subculture of it's own. I have a AE1200WH-1A that I've easily taken apart, scrubbed almost ALL that janky-looking lettering off except for the Casio name with 91% Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-Tip, then filled the case with silicone oil before reassembly and I replaced the band with a really nice blue leather with tan twine stitching, Ritche watchband I paid $20 for on Amazon. It's so cool! I get a LOT of compliments on it and it's actually a much more interesting conversation piece because of what it is, than the same common Rolex you see all the time that needs no introduction.
Nice video! I have the same one but with the stainless steel strap. It was rubbing so I used another Casio black strap and it looks just like your one in the video! I'm wearing it now. Mostly my daily watch.
might actually flip it for the same reason. i feel bad though, cause it really is a nice watch. thanks for chiming in, hope you can subscribe to the channel. thanks.
@@wristrants 240 for steel with bracelet treated in the same style (6-8 week production time) but majn lemme tell you, This watch! A tank! A beautiful tank. Wish i could afford the Damascus steel version.
I kinda wish 'Casiopussy' caught on...
Me too!
@@wristrants Hahaha make Casiopussy happen.
@@deanisplemoni so wish I could!
i love wearing this one. wore an Apple Watch since 2018, and was nice coming back to a non-smart watch

Best intro!

Nice ! 💎

The AE1200 looks a lot better than the Seiko Bond wore. The Seiko looks lame, IMHO. The Casio looks better although it's made of cheaper materials.
I agree. I'm sure this Casio's more practical too based on price and features. Thanks for chiming in. Please consider subscribing to the channel.
@@wristrants are you based in the Philippines? You sound like a Filipino. Great production, by the way.
@@ronch550 Pinoy na pinoy sir. Kaya matigas ang dila sa Inglesan. Salamat sir. Pa-subscribe naman.
@@wristrants ah hindi naman matigas dila mo. Sakto lang. Hehe. Good work, pre. Subbed.
Are those strap custom?
No. They came as stock straps with this model number - AE-1200WH-1CVCF. Hope that helps.
