Let me make my case for why you should buy a custom Casio from ARCH-MOD.

I made ARCH-MOD to solve one key problem.

Looks far better, don't you agree?

By carefully measuring, cutting and heat-sealing, I've developed a simple yet effective method to adjust these straps to fit perfectly to the width of these watches.Nylon is not an easy material to cut as it is prone to fraying, so it needs to be heated in the areas where it will be cut before notching. It is generally a finnicky process, so I only have a few of these watches in stock at a time.If you're interested, you can take a look at a full list of all custom Casios I've released, as well as their availability and prices below.

The Casio Royale - reimagined for stealth.The AE-1200 PHANTOM is an aesthetic reinterpretation of the classic Casio Royale. The watch is unified in all-black through the addition of a custom, hand-notched 24mm leather strap with black buckles and keepers. A negative display mod has been performed, along with lettering removal on both the case and faceplate with only the Casio logo and minutes indicators left. Durable, lightweight, practical - now with a touch of class.

The A158 RETROSILVER is an aesthetic upgrade to the original Casio A158W.The RETROSILVER mod is not intended to overhaul the look, but rather to enhance it. This was done with the addition of a high quality nylon strap in combination with a negative LCD to match the black watch face.The original metal strap has been replaced with a quality 22mm NATO nylon strap in blue-green-red, precisely notched to fit the full width of the watch, ensuring a proportional look.
It has been heat-sealed to prevent any fraying.Although still a nylon strap, you may find that this type of strap is considerably softer and more comfortable than most NATO nylon straps due to the seatbelt-style nylon used in its construction.

Most people will simply opt for a standard 18mm strap to fit easily to the 18mm lugs of the A158, while others will use adapters to fit wider straps to the watch. I wasn't satisfied with either of these options, so I developed a simple yet effective method to adjust these nylon straps to ensure a perfect fit.I think you'll like it.

What if we took the F-91W; a practical, no-frills watch, flipped it on its head and made it into something rather glamorous? Well, the F-91W ROYAL is exactly that.Modifications include a negative LCD mod to blend with the rest of the black faceplate, and a navy blue strap with gold buckles to match the gold-coloured case of the watch.The original resin strap has been replaced with a quality 22mm NATO nylon strap in navy blue with a gold buckle, precisely notched to fit the full width of the watch, ensuring a proportional look.

With its rugged, durable build, alongside its world time feature, I've always seen the Casio AE-1200 as a watch fit for explorers.The EXPLORER mod aims to do the AE-1200 justice by building upon its aesthetic with the addition of a durable military Zulu strap and a splash of colour with the amber display. All text has been removed except for the Casio logo for a cleaner look.The original metal strap has been replaced with a 24mm Zulu nylon strap, precisely notched to fit the full width of the watch, ensuring a proportional look.

The F-91W RETROCHROMA mod pays tribute to the bright, contrasting retro colours of the original Casio F-91W. I've been wanting to perform this mod for a while now but could never quite find the right strap to match the blue-red-yellow of this model until I found just the right one from a small strap store, allowing me to finally complete this mod.The F-91W RETROCHROMA features a standard negative LCD mod. It looks better on some watches than others, with this model being a perfect fit as the now yellow digits go very well along
with the yellow accents on the faceplate.The original resin strap has been replaced with a quality 22mm NATO nylon strap in blue-red-green, precisely notched to fit the full width of the watch, ensuring a proportional look.
