Need a new case (body) for my Casio (module 555) watch.
Hi All,
I own a Casio model 555 (DBA 80) watch (the one with a phone dialer) bought more than 10 years ago. It is still working, but it's case (or body or dial, whatever you may wish to call it) is now very badly scratched and I wish to replace it. Can anyone tell me whether the case for this model would be available ? I am from India and Casio India has told me that support for this model is no longer available. If the case were indeed available, I'd like to know where and for how much. Thanks in advance, Amit. |

The internals are usually a standard size; but one would have to find a model with identical button layout. Perhaps you can polish up your old one with a soft cloth and some toothpaste...replace the band. jak Hi Jak, Actually, the watch glass is now so full of scratches that no amount of polish is helping. I love my watch and want to wear it all the time, but it looks like a piece of scrap on my wrist. Also, the hinge holes on the body on either side of the dial (in which the strap pins fit) are partly broken and have been repaired twice (albeit compromising on the strength which will be offered to the strap). I've also replaced the strap several times. I think I'll try Chance's suggestion and try to look for one on eBay. Thanks anyways for your help. Best regards, Amit. I know what you mean. There are a few on this group--including me--who swear by their old Casios. I found mine in the street (literally lying in the street) over 15 years ago, and have worn it nearly every day since. I don't know how many bands and batteries I've gone through. All I can say is keep an eye out in your equivalent of thrift stores for a replacement. These last so long that it's possible someone gave theirs away simply because the battery went dead...or the just got tired of it. Good luck. (You can't have mine.) jak |
