Clarification Notice: This is an aftermarket watchaccessory. This is not manufactured by Casio, nor are any Casiotrademarks used on this product nor are any other Casio materials used tomake it. This decal does NOT use the same fonts or colors as Casio. It is a Decal Accessory only to be placed on your real Casio Watchthat you own, in which said watch owned by you is covered by CasioTrademarks. Any reference to Casio here is referring to your own Casiowatch and model so that you know which model this will work for. Casio does not make any watch Keypad Decals for these antiques in which noparts are available for them today, nor did Casio ever sell this item as aseparate part to purchase. Instead you had to buy a Casio Watch new caseto get a new keypad. These Decal Accessories only stick over theoriginal Casio Keypads. They do notreplace any Casio KeyPads because no electric switches are contained in thesedecals.
Please do NOT buy until you view all the photos and read the Instructions below that point out that you trim these to fit yourself. Someone purchased without viewing all the photos and reading the instructions, then complained after they installed them on their watch. Be informed, and know what you are getting before buying this item. Thank You.
If your old Casio DBC Databank watch keypad membrane is cracked, missing, or unreadable, then this newly remanufactured keypad decal may bring new life to your old Casio DBC Watch.
Lets face it, if you can't read the keypad on one of these watches, you have lost about 90% of its functionality, or less depending on what is left to actually see. You have to be able to read the keypad in order to program this watch!
You cannot find replacement keypad membranes for purchase for these vintage watches, since these watches and their parts are no longer being produced and no longer available for sale. These are fresh reprints of the keypad image (consisting of lettering, symbols and numbers).
This decal is a fresh 600 dpi resolution accessory image to place over you original keypad image, and is printed on a Permanent-Self-Adhesive Waterproof Vinyl, and covered with a clear laminate over the ink to prevent the lettering and numbers from wearing off as quickly as the original did, because the originals had no clear laminate to protect the printing like these do.
No watch disassembly required, only a good cleaning and application of replacement keypad image decal over the old keypad.
Photos in this listing include:
Those later aforementioned photos illustrate the need for one of these New Vinyl Keypad Image Decal Overlays to restore the visual functionality of your watch with previously unreadable key pads.
Instructions:
First you need to properly clean your old keypad preferably with something that will not leave a residue like Alcohol, and allowed to dry completely before applying the new decal. Surface must be very clean and completely dry! Not slippery or slimy after cleaning!
If you have a keypad membrane that is only cracked but still mostly intact, you should be able to apply this decal directly over the old decal.
If your old decal is missing, just make sure the old rubber membrane under it is clean and completely dry so that the new decal is able to stick to it.
About photos of this decal on eBay. The images show an external dark border around the white lineborder. The dark is what gets trimmedoff so that only the white line border should be left. Think of it as a cutting line to trim tofit.
Before placing decal in position, a dry fit may be necessary to make any minor trimming to insure a perfect fit. Suggestion is to use fingernail clipper if corners need trimmed, most likely the lower 2 corners, or you may use scissors for any straight edges.
After insuring a good fit, you next need to peal the protective back off the decal and use a pair of tweezers to carefully center and apply the decal in the correct location.
After placing the new decal in the correct position, apply light pressure in all points on the surface to insure it properly sticks.
For best adhesion it is important that the target surface be clean and that the decal, after being applied, be afforded 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure and set. In other words, do not touch for at least 24 hours for the adhesive to properly set.
What is included with this order:
Disclaimer:
Just so you understand, this listing above showed the instructions that are included with the order, which states the Buyer will be trimming the border of these decals yourself to insure fit. There is an outline to show you where to cut them. It is all in the instructions. Just wanted the Buyer to be aware they are not pre-trimmed to the exact size which is what the Buyer will do after you get them.
These decals when trimmed to the boarder are the exact size for a Casio DBC 600 and the image matches that model.
These remanufactured decals are printed in multiple on a single 8.5" x 11" sheet of Contouring Permanent-Self-Adhesive Waterproof Vinyl using an Epson Workforce 545 Printer. Your decal will be cut from one of those decals on that sheet. Image quality might very slightly from decal to decal depending on how well the printer distributes its ink, but all do come from the same source image which are all identical.
One image shown above is an actual scan of one of the decals you would receive, taken from the middle of the decals printed page (without the overprinted text used here only) so that you can see the quality of what you will actually receive.
Because that image above is a scanned copy of the printed decal, it is not as good as the actual decal itself because that photo looses some of its source printing resolution, however it is fairly representative the one you can expect to receive.
The images show an external dark border around the white line border. The dark is what gets trimmed off so that only the white line border should be left. Think of it as a cutting line to trim to fit.
If you are missing the original keypad image but still have the underlying keypad, you at least need the complete underlying keypads intact wherein it is flat enough for this decal to stick to. If parts of the underlying keypad are missing pieces so that this decal would not have even contact over the entire keypad, then I would not advise one of these decals, if the underlying keypad is too damaged for it to stick , otherwise you could end up poking holes in the decal while using it. In other words, judge for yourself it there is enough underlying keypad to work with before using one of these decals. The risk is up to you under such circumstances.
