    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

    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 😂

    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.

    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! 👍

    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

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!

It’s just that I have gotten spoiled by some of the other watches on the market like some of my Islanders. I think that this band really does it justice. Maybe we will see some interesting bezel options in the future from islander.

    Here's a short review: I ordered my Oyster-style bracelet pretty much as soon as I saw the video. It arrived quicker than initially expected, and I had to pay an additional 16 euros because I live in the EU (VAT). I have some thoughts about it after having spent a few days wearing it. First of all, the finishing is on point - without a flaw. The fact that he included regular spring bars along with the fat ones just goes to show that this guy is a true professional who knows what he's doing - my particular Duro would't take the fat spring bars so I had to use regular ones which easily clicked into place. I was very glad to see a screwdriver was also included, so I was able to adjust the bracelet right away. Overall, I have to say this bracelet elevates the watch far beyond it's price point. I had to take one link out from each side (two links in total) and pick the middle micro adjustment hole for the bracelet to fit my 7.5 inch wrist. It's a tad tight, but I don't mind. The gap between the end link and the first row of links was a bit wider than I expected. I suppose this might not be noticeable if your watch takes fat spring bars. However, there is one thing that makes me wonder if this is truly a heavy-duty bracelet, and that is the construction of the screw-pins. I took out 2 links, so I got to see 4 screw pins. They all look as if regular push pins were cut to a certain length and small screws were then soldered on top (a two-piece construction). As a result, all four screws are visibly off-centered at the upper (screw) part and I wonder if this could pose an issue long-term. Hopefully not.
