Out of curiosity got this modern cheap watch. I kind of like the display
but it look Cheese. Display is Yellow, nice. but purple filter, no to my liking.
Just find this case, buttons in same position, yeah upside down but well
not a problem, module will fit for sure with little work. I can picture this case with a nice polish and a Yellow or red custom filter. getting excited.Image

Still working on it. Spacers are foam now but will be ABS later
Also back is kind of tight so there is some more work. pins don't align
properly, I figure that out . I order some red polycarbonate already to make the screen, the original has to go, red film on back of glass doesn't look good I try. I will update progress.

Do it man! If you need a square of red film, send me a PM. For the cost of a stamp I can send you enough to try twice. 8-)
