Jody, as usual a very amusing yet informative review. I have a Casio Duro and I like it very much but the mod that you did really elevated it to a seriously classy watch. On KZbin there are many watch reviewers, some good and some are pretty lousy that they are pretty well jumping on the watch reviewer bandwagon with very little knowledge of horology. However, it’s obvious that you are a very keen watch enthusiast with a considerable knowledge and experience of the subject, and the Scottish gift of the gab doesn’t do any harm either which makes “Just One More Watch” stand head and shoulders above most, if not all of the other watch review channels. I take my well worn cowboy hat off to you sir and keep up the excellent work.

Casio used to sell different versions of the MDV-106 on bracelet, but no longer. That replacement bracelet however can be found on parts pages and eBay. It looks great, and fits the lug profile perfectly. But it's hollow link, very visible from the side. Apparently the "5kx" has the same profile as the MDV-106, and any bracelet for that watch fits this perfectly. Strapcode has a whole page for it. Solid end links, solid link, milled clasp, in multiple versions. If you truly want the upscale MDV-106, that plus the Sapphire does it.

Although I knew it wasn't, I was disappointed when you popped the back not to see a movement. Lol. With the following this watch has, I think an automatic version with a clear case back would sell phenomenally!

One thing I would like to say is how incredibly accurate mine is. I know it's just a cheap miyota quartz in it but mine has currently lost 0.1 seconds in the two weeks I've been timing is. That would work out at less than 3 seconds a year. I think I was pretty bloody lucky with mine, though obviously the blistering heat in summer here in Madrid might upset that a bit. Even so I think I hit the jackpot
