First off, sorry for the pics. Only have my phone.
Anyway, I felt the yellow was too much for my taste. So I ordered the light button and the start/stop button straight from Casio. Great service and price. $0.80 each button and $2.75 shipping.
The grease I have pictured was used on the o rings, seals, and to help hold the c-clip in place before pushing it back on.
I did the start/stop button first because the light button was on back order so they came in separately. Supposed to be 4-6 weeks, but came in three.
I like the look a little better, what do you guys & gals think?
I don't see how it would be less water resistant. The new buttons came with new o-rings and I greased the gasket and made sure it was seated correctly before I put the case back back on.
In all honesty, it wasn't that hard. Took maybe15-20 minutes (each button because I had no patience to wait for the light button to come in). I just used a small flat head screw driver to remove the c-clips. To replace it I used a little grease to hold it in place on the button, made sure the clip was flush with the inside of the case for stability and pushed slowly with the same flat head screw driver. It actually clipped on with less force than I expected. Maybe I just go lucky, but I am pleased with the results. I'm thinking about dying the wings black or dark grey to match the buttons and rivets.
I actually opened up the case the first time and told myself ,"How the heck I'm I going to do this?" So I did a search and that's how I did it. The biggest piece of advice I found useful though was to put a little grease on the clip to hold it in place.
