KeymasterIs it stained or are there just nooks and crannies you canβt get into? For the latter you could try an ultrasound cleaner like people use for glasses.

KeymasterGlossy white G-Shocks are easier to keep clean, while matte white G-Shocks tend to stain and discolor. I just wash my GLX5600-7 with mild hand soap, scrub gently with a toothbrush if necessary, and towel dry after wearing it, before putting it away in my rotation.

KeymasterI don’t know of anything that can actually reverse a stained white Casio bezel and strap. some people even tried rubber eraser.
But its just part of wearing the watch and it ages.

I do. A new bezel and strap! Also gives you the option to do dye-color-adventure-experiments on the old plastics…

KeymasterOn mine you just remove the screws holding the straps, and then you got two screw on both sides of the watch, and the bezel pops off π

Depends on the model, how handy you are, how much the watch is worth to you and if its still under warranty. I have a m5600bc that i ordered with a spare bezel back in the day for iirc 15 bucks as the plan was to get it beat to heck and back… but it proved more resilient than i expected so i still have it in a drawer somewhere. Don’t know if spare parts are still that cheap and easy to find nowadays and it might not even be possible on your model to swap em yourself but hey, google is your friend! And yeah, i bet casio can replace it for you but do inform beforehand about the costs for this kind of service.December 11, 2025 at 7:06 am #126716admin
