The Casio GA-2110 is called the Casioak because it resembles a $38,400 Swiss Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Resembles is a strong word. It is doubtful anyone will mistake a $99 GA-2110 for a Royal Oak.
The Casioak sold out immediately after release and was selling above list price. The first order from Etsy's Nihongogo2 was a scam. Thankfully, Paypal refunded. The second order from Amazon's Le Watcherie arrived no problem. Actually there was a problem. The negative digital display was hard to read. The grey model had a positive display. Maybe the displays could be exchanged?
So I bought the grey model and removed the display. There are 4 freaking tiny springs that operate the backlight. The springs jump all over the place trying to grab them with tweezers.
Took the first watch apart and nervously replaced the display. The hands worked but not the display. The small strip that connects the display to the control board was upside down. Assembled it again and it worked. The Casio maniac has a custom GA-2110SU-3AJF.
