Stainless Steel Curved Ends Tapered 18mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 23mm 24mm Metal Watch Band Flexible Watch Strap Replacement Bracelet Deployment Double Flip Lock Buckle Silver Black

This is an excellent enhancement to the Casio MDV106. Although installation is a little tricky, the bracelet DOES FIT the Casio Duro. The trick is to start one end of the spring bar by placing it directly into the spring bar hole and then rock the end link into the lugs. Then depress the extended spring bar and push the end link fully into place. At this point, you’ll have trouble getting the unseated end of the spring bar to seat into its hole. So use a small screw driver, pushpin or the provided spring bar tool to gently push the unseated towards the case so it will align with its hole. A couple nudges using this method and the spring bar will eventually align and seat into its hole. Then use the provided spring bar tool to press each end of the spring bar outward to ensure it is fully seated and you’re done. Although this sounds tricky, it really itsn’t difficult and can be done in minutes. Anyway, if you can follow the above guide, this bracelet will be an excellent addition to your watch. It’s very well made for the money. Solid links throughout, good weight and tolerances and nice finishing. The clasp is also pretty solid for the money. Overall a perfect complement to the Casio Duro, especially if you have the two tone black and gold Duro, since two tone bracelets are hard to find for this model. Anyway, give it a shot and you’ll be glad you did.

I got this to replace the rubber strap on a dive watch. I wanted a dressier look and this bracelet did the trick. It came with hollow curved end links and straight, solid ones. The curved ones didn’t fit my watch case, so I used the straight ones. It works great since the spring bar holes are deep into the lugs. The package also includes 4 spring bars, 6 link pins (2 are needed to secure the straight end links), and a link removal tool. The bracelet is very high quality. Solis stainless steel, 12 removable links, 3 micro adjust hols in the clasp, and it articulates very well. No binding at all. And this is a real 5-link bracelet. The two large outer and three small inner links are move freely and independently. I would definitely order this j-style bracelet for other watches when needed.

For the money, this is an excellent Jubilee band. My watch is the Casio Duro diver watch. It is really hard to get the curved ends to attach. The spring bar tips are really hard to get in to the holes. Other watches may be just fine. Some people say that you need to get one pin into the hole, then you can maneuver the second one in. Well, I found that the angle to get the first pin in then risks scratching the case of the watch when you try to get the second one in from that tilted angle. (I am adding photos that show the scrapes on my case from trying that.) The curved ends edges are really sharp and should have been properly buffed. But it is an inexpensive band after all. I found what works best for me and the safest for the watch is to just place the curved end into the case like normal with the spring bar in it and lined up to the pin holes. The spring bars ends will be laying above them on the case. Now, take the tool and press one sides pin in to allow it to drop towards the hole. It will likely not go in the hole yet, but keep it down there and go ahead and press in the pin on the other side to get that sides spring bar tip down in the case as well. Now carefully, slowly move it around so that you can get one pin to drop in it's hole. Then do the same with the other side, always being careful to keep the tip down in there so it doesn't come up and extend out. One thing that really bothers me, is that the notch they have to access the pin tip with the tool is too small and it takes a lot of patients to get the pins in (and out). Once you get this done, you will likely not want to take it off. If you are someone with a lot of bands with quick release and like to swap often, this may not be the band for you. Another thing is that the spring bars that they include have less girth than the Casio spring bars from my watch. These thin bars are kinda sloppy inside the the curved end piece and may make it harder to get the tips into the holes. I used the Casio ends. Luckily they slid through okay and I could steer them to the hole easier. Sizing is also a bit tough. Take your time and a magnifier may be useful for this, as well as the attachment process. I also bought the silver and gold version for my gilded Duro. I think it is quite good looking for the money. (See photos)

If you own the Casio Duro, you know the stock resin strap is its weakest link. Swapping it for this stainless steel bracelet is the single best "mod" you can do. It adds the weight and shimmer the watch deserves, making a $50 watch look like a $300 piece. Quality & Price Ratio: I was skeptical because of the price, but this bracelet punches way above its weight class. - The Steel: It has a solid, reassuring weight without being a "clunker" on the wrist. - The Finish: The brushed texture matches the Duro’s lugs surprisingly well for a universal band. The Resizing Experience: Don't let the pins intimidate you. I was able to resize this in about 10 minutes with a basic $5 watch kit. Tip: Pay attention to the directional arrows on the back of the links. They slide out easily if you follow the guide, and the clasp offers enough micro-adjustments to get that "goldilocks" fit: not too tight, not too loose. Pros: - Instant Style Upgrade: Completely changes the silhouette of the watch. - Security: The clasp has a satisfying "click" and hasn't popped open once, even with daily activity. - Value: At this price, it’s a no-brainer compared to $60+ boutique bracelets. Cons: - Hair Pulling: If you have very hairy wrists, the links might catch occasionally, though I haven't found it to be a major issue. Bottom Line: Don't settle for the "plastic" feel of the original strap. This bracelet is the missing piece of the Duro puzzle.

Let me start by saying that I am a loyal Casio Duro (MDV 106) fan. I've collected all the available models and particularly appreciate that you can still find the Duro with the iconic Marlin logo at a reasonable price on Amazon. My latest acquisition was the green Duro, completing my collection. Along with it, Amazon recommended a stainless steel replacement bracelet, claiming compatibility with the model. At $19.99 (half the price of the watch), I decided to give it a try, expecting a premium experience given the reputable seller. The bracelet arrived in generic packaging with "Watch Band" printed on top—simple but decent. Inside, the bracelet was heavily wrapped in plastic, which, while protective, felt excessive and cumbersome to remove. On the plus side, the package included a pin remover, several spare pins, a bracelet adjustment tool, and an instruction manual. This thoughtful inclusion raised my expectations, and I was initially impressed. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm quickly turned to frustration when attempting to fit the bracelet to my Casio Duro. Despite Amazon marketing the product as compatible, the original pins that came with the watch did not fit the bracelet. Instead, the pins supplied with the band were much thinner, raising concerns about their durability. The real challenge came with aligning the bracelet to the watch using the provided pins. After over an hour of struggling, I could not achieve a proper fit. The misalignment issues were so severe that I doubt even a professional jeweler could make this bracelet work with the Duro. While the added tools and packaging suggest effort, the bracelet fails to deliver on its promise of compatibility with the Casio Duro. The mismatch in pin sizes and the poor fitment make it impractical for its intended purpose. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this band to any Casio Duro owner.

Very pleased with the bands look and quality. However, I found it very difficult to attach to my watch this was do to the tolerances, wound up having to pay a jeweler to install it.

This jubilee style is a favorite watch band design of mine. I my opinion, it's a very good looking replacement for the worn, original leather band on my watch. Reasonable price with necessary tools and spare pins included and the curved end caps give a finished appearance instead of the straight ends that leave a gap between the band and case. Plenty of removable links and 3 micro adjustment slots for a perfect fit. Each wrist watch is different and if you have experience and patience, this band swap can be done at home. Installing with the curved ends can be challenging. I found the caps should be lined up onto the watch case as the pins are pressed into locking position from the case back. If you're not familiar with this work, maybe a jeweler is a better choice. The results are worth the effort either way.

Excellent product. Replaced a broken watch band on my $600 Seiko watch for a fraction of a Seiko band. After 6 months it still looks good and works perfectly. I do construction work and it is constantly exposed to sawdust, Sheetrock dust, sweat and temperature fluctuations. I wear it in the shower every night after work to clean the days dust off it. Holds up well. It is definitely a lesser quality than the Seiko band but it has not disappointed. I bought a silver one for another Seiko watch that had been in my jewelry box for years with a broken band. Brought it back to life again.
