🔧 Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Prepare your workspace: Choose a clean, well-lit surface. Lay down a soft cloth to prevent scratching your watch or losing small parts.
- Remove the original strap: Use your spring bar tool to push in the ends of the spring bars, then gently slide out the stock strap. Repeat for both sides.
- Unscrew the original bezel: You’ll see four visible screws on the GA2100 bezel. Use your precision screwdriver to remove them. Store the screws safely.
- Lift off the original resin bezel: Once the screws are out, carefully lift the plastic bezel off the watch case. You may need to wiggle it slightly to release it.
- Clean the case: Use a soft cloth to wipe away any dust, moisture, or fingerprints. A clean surface ensures your new bezel sits flush.
- Fit the new metal bezel: Align the stainless steel bezel over the case. Most bezels will “click” into place snugly. Use the provided screws to secure it.
- Install the new strap or bracelet: Use the spring bar tool to insert the spring bars into the new strap and fit them into the watch lugs. Double check both sides are locked securely.
- Test everything: Make sure buttons are accessible, screws are tight, and the strap is firm. Try it on to feel the fit and weight.
💡 Extra Tips for a Perfect Mod
- Work slowly—forcing parts can damage your watch
- Use a magnetic tray or small bowl to store screws
- Apply a bit of Loctite on screws if you wear your watch during sports
- Don’t overtighten — stainless steel can strip if forced
- Watch YouTube tutorials if you’re a visual learner
📸 Why Install a Metal Bezel?
The Casioak metal bezel transforms your GA2100 from a casual resin watch into a sleek timepiece with a premium finish. You get the durability of a G-Shock combined with the look of a high-end mechanical watch — without spending thousands.
