The Best Bracelet for the Casio Duro! (even if it costs as much as the watch)

[@neilbotha3527]

The duro is just such insane value. Add sapphire, ceramic and now a bracelet and you have a custom monster. Mine has travelled around the world, gone diving and recently in hot springs in New Zealand and still looks and runs like new. Thx Marc for taking our money with a smile

[@islandwatch]

very true, thanks for the insight!

[@snacklofter]

I agree - It's just the lume that lets it down a bit.

[@RevScott]

What bezel insert fits. I haven't had any luck

[@bertholdbach4959]

Couldnt you, for all the additional cost, just buy a better watch?

[@ScoobieDoobie197474]

@@bertholdbach4959 of course. But people love to mod and the Duro is perfect for that

[@thetruebatman4632]

Awesome Mark, great idea. I have five (that’s 5) Duro’s lol, the only one i’m missing is the black with gold accent. Love these things, they’re indestructible and replaceable, and they just have this unmistakable look to them. When you catch another Duro lover in the wild, it’s almost like you both know this little secret that you can have an unbelievable watch for $60 and you’re forever joined by your affinity for common sense 😂

[@islandwatch]

like the secret nod!

[@flowremix]

Awww man. If marc made a two tone duro bracelet, I'd pick a 3rd one too.

[@wintermute8315]

Don't get the black and gold. The 'gold'on the bezel doesn't match, and is more of a bronze. I'm currently awaiting a replacement bezel, but there aren't many to choose from.

[@twotubefamily9323]

​@@wintermute8315just buy a new Duro , they are disposable ffs

[@RobWhittlestone]

My Duro is sitting on a fantastic red-brown leather ribbed strap costing $90 - it looks the business and I have received many compliments about it! Thanks Marc for taking this great watch seriously! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

[@RhinoRhinoGiraffe]

You will be selling loads of these. Good move - love how you are keeping your ear on the ground, coming out with what we all want so quickly

[@islandwatch]

That is the plan.

[@CharlieLeal13]

Thanks for the free quick shipping. I am so happy with the watchband you sent me and I am very impressed with the watchband. Very good quality.

[@IceDree]

Awesome! The bracelets elevate the vibe of the Duro to a different level.

[@islandwatch]

Duro comes out again!

[@richardtwyning]

Makes perfect sense. I bought a Casio MRW-200H from Argos in the UK for only £13.29. I had to make it easy to swap NATO straps. The Jays & Kays adapters cost around £15. Bargain 😁 You're a hero for offering these bracelets for Duro owners 👍🏻

[@islandwatch]

that's sweet.

[@keganwallace8753]

I love my brushed three link from Island Watch. I have it attached to my green bezel Duro and it just looks amazing. Fantastic fit and finish. Quality product.

[@georgetorres1739]

I picked up the BRAC 75 bracelet, and I feel that it absolutely pumps up the look and feel of the Casio Duro! Is it bad that a want to put a sapphire crystal on it now. Thanks guys for bringing this out for us!

[@ToddCaldwell1]

Mark you are a legend! That's why I'm your customer for life!

[@islandwatch]

Woo hoo!

[@markc2767]

Some people just love customising their cheap watches. It isn't financially prudent, but people enjoy doing it. I have a Casio AE1200 that has been pulled apart, stuck in a bronze case with sapphire, and a decent brown leather strap. Cost around £200 to do up, but I get more enjoyment from that than I do from some more expensive watches. Definitely getting the five-link bracelet once my pay goes in! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@djinconroe]

I just got a Jubilee for my Casio (Batman) and it really is worth every penny and then some. This bracelet takes the Duro to a whole new level and I'm going to load up on these for my other MDV106's. I'd bought the cheaper Aliexpress bracelet for this one before and stopped there because while they looked like what I wanted the end links were junk and they just felt cheap. That is not the case here. This bracelet is pure quality. Thanks for going to the effort of doing this right!

[@chrisp.5272]

The Duro is an amazing watch. I’m keeping mine forever. Can’t wait to add a bracelet, and eventually a sapphire crystal. It’ll be a favorite in my collection no matter how extravagant my collection gets. Love the bracelet, it’s one of my favorite watches for daily wear, feels like a nice $200-$500 Citizen or Seiko dive watch now.

[@mspencer112]

You can find these sometimes at amazing prices. I found a Pepsi and an all blue dial at Walmart marked down to 11.77 🤯. Went back a few weeks later and got all black dial for 30. Got 3 quality divers for around 60 bucks, hellava deal

[@ianmarshall3633]

Loving the new bracelets Mark. I have the blue and black Duro. I will definitely be looking to get both bracelets. Great video as usual my friend 👍

[@NICAsworld]

That Northport is awesome, such a fresh vibe. The Doxa is equally interesting. The patina-like pattern on the case and bracelet is really cool. Congrats on delivering again on people's request. I hope it sells loads.

[@knottheory79220]

I seriously have always looked at my Islander bracelet and thought it'd be awesome on a Duro, because the only thing I don't like about the Duro is the factory strap. So I'm in for one. Honestly the Duro + this for about $110-$115 is about as good of a quartz diver as you're going to find. It makes so much sense because all the value of the Duro is not in its strap lol

[@regorschneid5245]

I've had my LIW 5 link bracelet on my black duro for a few weeks now and it's made this my go-to quartz. I have a wrist

[@DripperJoe]

that lighted map in the background is a need that is sooo neat

[@StumpkillerCP]

When I had this watch for a while I was floored with the accuracy. So I got mine (gold bezel) a black stainless steel curved-end bracelet band. Love it. (But then I favor a bracelet with no end-flap to catch on things). This is my kayaking/fishing/sailing/snorkeling (rare anymore) wet work watch. If the mineral crown gets bad wear I would indeed seek out a sapphire crystal. It's worth it. My everyday watch is a Hamilton Khakii King II bracelet. This Casio smokes it with 4X the accuracy. And my Hamilton holds +6 seconds a Month! So that alone endears it to my heart.

[@jhors7777]

Thanks Mark I just bought the BRAC-74 from you and it is great! I have the blue Casio Dura MDV-106. Thanks for the screwdriver you included. I removed two links with it and it now fits perfectly on my 7.5" wrist. Looks fabulous.

[@markhannum1005]

When I got my Horween leather strap from you, i put it on a $35 Indian Seiko tank and it looks just great. Thanks. Mark

[@comeonman7423]

I have to say I’d need to buy both watches and both bracelets! Fantastic job my friend!

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

That Doxa is hideous but that Islander Northport is fire. Very Nice color combination.

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

Fantastic!!! I’ve been waiting for a good bracelet to come out for the Duro and what a great price too!!! I’ve been wearing mine on a Kamasu bracelet which works well but isn’t a 100% fit. Will have to pick up on of these from Marc on Black Friday.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks Mike

[@chrisbradshaw7708]

Home run, Mark. These look incredible!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@brucemitchell3650]

Ordered the Jubilee bracelet for my blue Duro and it fits and looks fantastic. This upgrades the classic, inexpensive Duro significantly.

[@valengreymoon5623]

The factory bracelets (from the models before the MDV-106), if you can find them, are around $75. Rolled links and all. A two-tone would be needed for the black and gold version of the watch.

[@islandwatch]

Wow, $75 for that!

[@gamesetmatt23]

Wow, that just completely transforms the watch! Never really liked the look on the rubber strap, but these look fantastic.

[@joseherrera8489]

Hey Mark.. I ordered the Jubilee bracelet for my Duro and the fit is perfect. Very easy to replace and adjust. Makes my $50 watch look like a $500 watch. Very satisfied👍

[@troll2637]

I have few questions regarding this bracelet. 1. Does textures and colors match? 2. Does the curved end link shapes match curvature of the watch and the lugs? My perfectionist brain will kill me if they don't match.

[@dawgfan2699]

Yes and yes.. The bracelet looks factory.

[@hugomartinez7046]

Are you re stocking these bracelets?

[@blacknbluebear]

Awesome idea Mark! Us watch modders are kind of crazy. I definitely have a Strapcode on a Pagani Design. Bracelet upgrades just add a great feeling to a watch with a subpar stock strap.

[@djinconroe]

How long before they are restocked? I have two more Duro's that need Oyster bracelets with those solid end links!

[@David-nx2vm]

Marc, you’re right, the Duro slaps. I own three in black, blue and gilt. I’m not a modder, but I know many are and this is a great option to ditch the cheap resin strap they come with. Prices are creeping up on the Duro btw. All colorways except the black dial are pushing towards $80 retail

[@michaelhunsicker7901]

Good job with this. I think the best looking watch is a black dial dive watch on an oyster bracelet.

This is very cool. The Duro is the second best dive watch in the world after the Sub.
