Just found this section

Here's my current GShock collection, i am into custom MOD as well.

This Rangeman has a custom 30th anniversary LCD screen, all gold buttons and backcase with optical glue treatment done.

This is GX56 aka King has custom LCD and optical glue treatment done too. Band and bezel changed to mimic the 2014 ICERC Rangeman.

These is some of my GDX collection, all of these has been discontinued. Still trying to find a few more.

I know a guy in Shah Alam that can do wonderful things with beat up Gshocks.
PM me and I'll hook you up.

It is a treatment for most tough solar model, which will have fogging due to the gap between glass and solar panel. It is a Casio design flaw that has been going on for years.

It's a permanent fix that makes your foggy tough solar Gs looks crystal clear again.

Examples

Thanks, just buy what i can afford for now..

Nope, even on a new tough solar watch, with enough moisture it will fog within months.
This layer is not inside the module hence it is not protected properly against it. It is just glued on top of the module.

Hydro mod is not a permanent fix, where this is.

Of course you can see, if you see fogging that means it's the module that's has moisture in it and not the layer between glass and solar panel.

This fix the design flaw with Casio on tough solar models, fogging inside the module still possible if moist entered the module.

You need to understand there's a few layers on tough solar models.
And it is popular, but only to the local modding community.

It is just not mainstream yet because there's only a handful of people capable of doing this perfectly, especially on separating the solar panel with the glass layer.

Between solar panel and the glass.
I can guarantee the LCD clearness is not the same as when you first bought it.

Rangeman and GX56 are very prone to this fogging issue, it's just how severe it is.

When you dismantle a tough solar model, this is what you get.

3 pieces of glass.

One is on the inside within the module, another is the solar panel and the glass.
That's where the moist is, and to fix it permanently you will need optical glue treatment.

Fogging inside the module still can happen if moist goes in the module.

It's hard to explain to you when you don't understand that there's a few different layers of glass.. solar panel it's not something you can take out and dry it

If optical glue is done on that watch, there will not be moist in between the solar panels, only within the module. And it will be visible to you.

On tough solar GShocks, there's two part you can get fogging.
Between solar panels and inside the module.

Look at this photo and you'll understand better.

100% fogging inside solar panel
It is less visible because it is not a negative display

You want to live in denial, then up to you la..
But that Rangeman definitely is fogged up within the solar panel, it's just not severe yet. Do note that severe fogging can cause the ink writings on the glass to be soft and scrapped away when attempting to remove the fog in the future.

Look at the solar panel areas, it is not black but grey'ish.
That is a clear sign of fogging inside the solar panel.

Normally it will be dark black as below

lol.. whatever la, i love my watches and i take care of them.
Limited or not, i would like it to be as clear as possible.

And you assume i am "selling"? Lol.. i am not the guy who does this nor am i related to him in any way.

As least i am not living in denial

And oh, solar panels when severely fogged can cost up to RM400 to replace.
While optical glue treatment is only 150
