Remake of Chipkasi! I replaced it with a mesh belt.

Hello, my name is Sato, a craftsman.

I am currently raising a 3 year old and a 1 year old, and when I am watching them, a watch that I can look at quickly is more useful than checking the time on my phone.

Since I carry my child in my arms, I was looking for something simple, thin, and lightweight, not too rugged.

And they get dirty and broken easily (several temples of sunglasses were broken...). I wanted to buy something affordable.

So I decided to go with CASIO's MQ-24-9E. It is so-called "Chipkasi".

With its gold dial and thin, simple design, it will suit any style.

However, rubber belts get stuffy in the summer.

I decided to buy a stainless steel mesh belt to replace it, looking for something that would be less steamy.

However, the belt width does not fit slightly. The Chipkasi is 16mm and the mesh belt is 18mm.

If it doesn't fit, make it fit! So, the first step is to match the dimensions,

Cut both ends 1 mm apart with a thread saw.

 

File the cut area.

Then reattach the removed pin and attach it to the dial.

This is the completion of the project! I think it turned out better than I expected for a first time.

Just by changing the belt, you can change the impression.

Jewelry can be completely transformed by simply adding stones or changing the texture.

If you have jewelry at home that is still sleeping, it can be reborn by remaking it.
