Nice one! Do you know of any online resources to help me learn how to get hacking with this stuff?
I was wondering what the little adjustment screw I see in quartz watches is about, and went googling, but only came up with superficial junk. Then I happened to chance upon a forum comment which mentioned an adjustable capacitor...
But surely there's somewhere I can glean more than a single random snippet at a time...?
Kimmo-
I've yet to find a single resource for info; calibre corner gives technical information on analogue movements (quartz and mechanical), shockbase for G Shocks (good for checking part compatibility), watchUseek often crops up on searches, even if it's others asking the same question. If there's a code to interpreting Casio module numbers, I've not cracked it yet

The G Shocks are a bit of a hobby; the early ones can get quite pricey on ebay, and I like the challenge of sourcing parts and getting them going again. The 5610 gets the most wrist time, solar power and time signal means the only button that gets pressed is the light. I've got a couple of Citizen quartz divers in my basket, for future projects and the Casio analogue homages are simple and fun to work on. I'm planning to use a Seiko VH31 movement in one (MTD 1010) to have a sweep hand and the benefit of a quartz.
