MOTORCYCLE CRASH? CASIO EDIFICE restoration movement dismantle & rebuild tutorial ECW-M300E

sitting here resting in my bones and i thought i would do a casio for you guys this week greetings oh somebody's running outside greetings my fellow [Music] okay greetings sheriff hello greetings my fellow carbon atoms anyway so so i'll restore this casio edifice for you guys as you can see the watch is still working glass it's had an impact there it's all scratched up the case is actually in good condition as you can see just need a little buff so let's get on with the show joe i have a phillips screwdriver and when in rome as they say hi everyone i hope you're all all right that first little section was a little audio experiment some of you have been experiencing some issues with the audio on certain devices so i got myself a new microphone and it's from a top brand but it's still a not so good let me know in the comments if it's any better as you have let me know when it's not great but i will admit some of your sarcasm has improved a lot and surpasses my own has the accountant hidden the microphone under the scatter cushions etc etc anyway i need to address this sound issue because you know what they say sound is 50 of your taste wait i think i may have got that mixed up with something else but anyway audio is as important as the video just ask my mate charlie chaplin he'll tell you now this is the replacement glass this glass has a print on it if you can't get hold of one of these then you can just use a normal glass i'm sure everybody knows what each button is for as you can see the print on the glass just tells you what each button does if you're stuck with one of these and you can't get hold of the glass then you can just use a normal glass and what i'll do is i'll show you how to install a normal glass as well as showing you how to install the original put all this stuff away nice and safe what is this little piece of paper they put in there looks very high-tech the case oh no so many springs are just yeah we'll find out what they are for later on there's one get over here there's another one that's falling out and there's a little one here oh there's more springs holy there's so many springs i don't even know where they go okay let's remove the dial you can see there are clips all the way around clips clips clips so this is a casio edifice with so many cool functions i did a swiss quartz movement on a breitling aerospace a few months back which a lot of you appreciated and so i thought i would do a japanese one and give you a little comparison you can see all that glass still on it this one is also an ana digi with both analog and digital displays that's the dial off and that's the solar [Music] panel it's held in with a couple of these sticky pads so you can see how far the glass has gone gone everywhere i think oh more springs whoa how many springs are there man more springs more springs and even with all that smash glass the digital part is still working however when a glass smashes in this manner small tiny bits of glass dust can get in quite deep and cause a lot of issues to the analog parts of the watch a watchmaker wouldn't usually go that deep into such a movement as it's just not cost effective for the customer so not many people will get to see the guts of such a watch i personally have stripped many inexpensive japanese quartz movements but haven't stripped this particular caliber so i thought we could all go on a little adventure together as we dive deep into this movement and see what it's all about now before stripping this movement i had a quick look online for a schematic and i found one so i started hacking at the disassembly like a child with a wrapped gift in his hand without making any mental or physical notes we've got a few coils here driving each hand i guess it was only later that i discovered that the schematic didn't include the mechanical section of the watch battery clip okay there's more stuff to dismantle but it looks a bit do we need to really dismantle it from here on well you never know there might have been some glass that's gone inside somewhere madness this is more complicated than a mechanical watch oh it's come off and we have some plastic bits that's the little magnetic step rotor and that's the end of that so this is so cool look at that an individual train with its own little coil and there's two of them the twins this would make a nice pair of cufflinks there's a little post sticky out so i can't really put it anywhere let's get the smallest movement holder that we have let's see if it will fit on there and that's as small as it gets i'm afraid oh that ain't gonna work whoa look at that well at least we know there's no glass in there so after seeing all these tiny plastic parts i hope you can appreciate why having small bits of glass dust would cause so much serious damage to these wheels and pinions it would act as an abrasive against these plastic parts and just grind them down causing them to the end of fail and then we can do that to the second one i think i may have beaten off more than i can chew but i'm quite good at chewing so i'll just chew away for another day hey hey guys so as you can see these are all the parts there are more parts here than a mechanical watch and i don't know what i'm gonna do with all this so this may just have to be a disassembly video so thank you for watching this disassembly video and i'll see you on the next one okay guys so out of all the parts only these parts are fully metal so if i were to put this in the cleaning machine then i would probably put just these parts in the cleaning machine and everything else is plastic so as you can see it's part metal but the actual wheel itself is plastic you can also see these wheels are all plastic even this hour wheel here so plastic so what i'm gonna do is clean everything by hand with some radical just to get any bits of broken glass dirt glass dust because if i put in the cleaning solution then these plastic bits may be a bad reaction plus my cleaning machine has a has a heater so i don't want anything to distort or warp so we'll clean up all of it by hand and then put it back together hopefully cut all this glass everywhere so so oh we're rolling the dough because we're gonna make some radical bread okay it's like the rover on mars tracks this step brother is so small so we've got a little bit of magnet and the rest is plastic and there are the other two step rotors joined together let's separate them no between those separators suppose we could use this one got a half another bracelet here we could use the end links are missing and some end links some crazy bracelets make one out of that so we're just gonna quickly give this one a polish you can see there are some scratches are you going to help me with the polishing uh mr troublemaker this is not probably anymore not anymore hmm so well you know job this is what we have so far after the first cutting stage there's a few small scratches just around that pusher sleeve got rid of most of the scratches so many little angles you can see there's an angle here focus and see there are angles everywhere the angle here angles here angles here and goes here angles everywhere so we get this washed up and give it a second cut and then finally give it a buff already mirrored finish in the center and then it's brushed on the outer edges so what we'll do is we'll get rid of all the scratches first then we'll tape this up and then we'll brush the outside hey stop laughing around so we're polishing the little just going to polish all the little pushes you got this red logo okay are you ready oh so you've got equal heat taped up [Music] so this is the technical sheet and as you can see it doesn't have any diagrams for the assembly of the analog modules and as i mentioned earlier i don't think these movements were ever intended to be stripped and serviced in this manner and my assumption is based on the modularization of this movement i think if something did go wrong with the watch and you sent it into casio they would probably change the whole movement or replace this individual module depending on the fault or issues okay guys so let's try and put this thing back together i'm going to start with the two small trains but these things are so small they won't even fit on my smallest movement holder so what i'm gonna do is use a bit of pith wood this stuff is used for cleaning your oilers because it's really absorbent this is really light so that's why i'll put it in this to give me a bit more weight while i'm working on this i can just put that in there let me see if i can show you guys and then i can just stab it through so i don't have to worry about that long post and that's about two millimeters so we'll go there here's another one i made earlier and assembled six mil wide two mil thick this thing is whooping there so why you been up to me did you go shopping with your mom so whatever this tiny floating post here skinny that post is a quarter of a mil that's crazy yeah now let's get all these springs in here let's take the led out this is not supposed to go in now supposed to go in afterwards i think so we'll get this [Music] boom of truth nothing's happening so what we need to do is we need to do an ac reset and you can see there's an ac here you put one end of your tweezer inside there and another end here still nothing oh no this is going to be an epic fall let's try it again where is it done ac and the ac ac [Music] come on yay there we go it's working 370 this is the printed glass this is a generic one check the thickness part 2.8 then we have this generic one here which is also a 2.7 so if you can't get a hold of one of these original crystals you can use just a generic one and i'll mock it up to show you guys exactly how it looks generic glass would go in like that and then i'll just muck it up just to show you what it would look like and that's what it would look like pop it out again multiband has to go on the top and then with that one that's the only difference basically that bit it's a lineup a little groove there thing has a sensor so if it's on your wrist and it's dark and you turn your wrist up to look at the time the light comes on automatically that's pretty cool huh so i'm walking around it's dark i lift my wrist up to look at the time and it didn't work let's try again so it's dark i pick my wrist up to look at the time and boom the light comes on automatically face recognition so there you have it friends i don't know how you all feel about seeing the guts of this watch it certainly made me grin like a cheshire cat in a way that i can't really explain seeing all those tiny flimsy plastic parts and knowing that they all work with such precision is a reason to take your hat off and say fair play i don't think we need to compare such a movement with the artisanship of a swiss mechanical movement instead it's more joyous just to appreciate it for what it is i hope you guys enjoyed this one and found it helpful in some way and my sincere apologies to those of you who leave so many wonderful comments without getting a response from me i just can't seem to keep up with them all but please do continue to leave your thoughts and comments so until next time my witty and sarcastic family look after yourselves and look after one another peace love and blessings to you all and if the almighty wills i'll see you on the next one [Music] tara [Music] [Music] you
