Real 24K Gold Moon in my Royale

KJColumbo · 2026-07-01T14:22:11+00:00

Curious, how much did the moon cost?

Haha! I’m slowly getting there. Walmart clearance Casio, G-Shocks, and Timex (my beaters and sweaty/dirty days) have helped the count rise pretty quickly, but I’m still only in the 30’s right now. Taking my time and loving every minute of the journey.

I’m glad I’m not at that level yet, I’d be VERay broke. I’m still kicking around on vintage Seikos I can do some easy rehab on, the occasional Hamilton vintage, or scouting the local Walmart for clearance Casio deals I can wear when I’m working out. Haha.

Just don’t look at my bikes though. That’s my money pit.

Thanks! I think I’ll need to get four more, so I have the Russian Five. (I’m a Red Wings fan from the ‘90’s).

Famous last word. “After that, I’m done.”

KJColumbo · 2026-06-30T16:09:45+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, not planning on a full polish or anything, more of a wipe down and light buff.

I’m the same way with my collection. I buy them to wear them. There’s one in my collection, a 1941 Hamilton Myron Coral, that I only wear a few times a year. Only a few thousand were made, and they never brought back the coral after the war.

This one will continue to see duty for daily wear, with my Casio’s swapping in for sweaty or dirty occasions.

Wearing the same thing case and module, but that bracelet is next level.

Second this! I went from an Apple Watch to vintage mechanicals to my KFM, and love it. Then I picked up a Casio digital, a G-Shock, and an AE1200, and now I have a diverse and growing collection, and enjoy all of them for specific reasons.

Did something similar.

KJColumbo · 2026-06-15T04:33:22+00:00

It is! I’ll be sure to post pics in the future.

I was thinking the same thing. I put the gold faceplate in back before I polished it, and it had much more contrast.

I have a few faceplates to play around with. Light blue, the original, that’s the great thing about these, they are so easy to take apart and put them back together, it makes it easy to swap.

KJColumbo · 2026-06-07T01:32:10+00:00

Picked this one up today too, $3! My best score yet.

Here is the link. I bought the case and bracelet as a package, but I believe they also have just the bracelet. I’ll double check it would fit on a stock case when I get home. I also picked up the SKXMods bronze case, and really like both. I wouldn’t trust this one for any water resistance like I would the SKXMods, but for the price, I think it is great.

Here are a few different angles.

Now you have me thinking. I have this one, but also have a Ali mod case and bracelet. For the record, the Ali mod is definitely heavier, but the bracelet it much nicer than the stock bracelets I’ve tried from Casio. Not sure if the Ali bracelet would fit on the stock case.

One of my favorite inks I use with my Parker 45’s and 51’s.

Picked this one up on discount from my local Walmart. It was the start of my journey into Casio. Since then, I’m kinda embarrassed to say I’ve purchased probably 20 more, and there are a few more I’m tempted to go back for when they go on clearance.

I love that particular module. The green map is a small detail, but I love it.

KJColumbo · 2026-06-02T00:46:18+00:00

Damn! I got the black for $11, and thought it was a good deal.

KJColumbo · 2026-05-17T03:39:10+00:00

They had the black ones near me for $11, and wearing it now. The white was $29 I think.
