Would I do it again? No. Does it look cool? Oh hell it does! Is it still easily readable in the dim light? Not at all... And the light is way dimmer now, hardly usable. It looks very good in the sunlight, but if there is not enough light it always looks kinda dim and it takes you an extra second to read the time which could get annoying.
Massive respect to watch makes though.. It is very difficult to keep those hands steady and be accurate. It takes a special kind of a person.. You have to always appreciate who fixes and services your watches with sincere respect. It can look easy, until you try..

Wow! Very interesting video. And I loved how you didn't remove the "mistaken" part of the video. Amazing result BTW! I think I will try it with my Casio even if I am a bit scared 🙂

Brilliant result. I just wish Casio gave us the option of buying this watch in a stainless steel case with sapphire crystal. I do not want a more expensive brand of watch but I would happily pay extra to get a higher quality version.

Remove the lcd from the module and it'll much easier to change the polarizer, also less chance to crack it.

I ilfind that my enjoymentbof negative disolays are dependant on hiw good it really looks with the negative display and if there is a good, easy to reach backlight. I bought the original casio calc watch with standard display ala back to the future. Then i saw the green model with the negative display at wlmart and thought it looked awesome so I bought it. Turns out that while the green case is really cool, I can barely ever read the watchboutside direct lighting. And.... no back light. I hate it and it will go back to walmart. I however also have a w800 negative display that I love. The numbers are larger which makebitbeasier to read in awkward lighting, but mainly IT HAS A VERY GOOD BACKLIGHT. So alot of the negatives are negated with that model. And with that model the negative display version just looks WAY better than the positive. So yeah, kinda depends for me.

had that calculator with negative LCD as well. Hated it too.
