I think you can burn the cut area of the leather strap, to make that exposed area water proof a bit.

I'm glad this video is still up. I just did this with a 20mm black leather band and it looks great.
22mm looks better, but it's such a minor difference I don't mind.
As someone mentioned, thicker leather makes it hard to get the bars back in, but with the right tools it wasn't too bad.

[@asgja12]

will 18mm look ok on it?

[@chuckt8246]

@@asgja12 18mm looks good too, but there is a "step" to it. It's noticeablly narrower than the watch. Cutting a 22mm band this way gives it the same "slope" as the original metal band. It's personal preference.

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

I do the same with my favorite silicon magnetic straps. I like the width of the straps to be the same as the outside width of the lugs so you need to cut a few mm off the ends, it look better that anyway. good choice there.

[@MrBanegasgaleas]

Definitely you know about good watches.

[@im4485]

very nice touch ...good strap choice

[@alsaba5203]

I've done minimalistic version, by myself.
Type:"Update3. Homemade Nato strap.
GW-M5610."
Whatever looks, works.
P.s few months ago I've done another " update" very similar to newest G5000TVA-1. I mean "red accent ", nice thing to realise that designer of casio like the same things. " Bund strap 5610 update2"

the moment i saw Gillet i felt confidence

[@omkar2311]

Nice idea

[@DebanjanBhaskar92]

Please.make.a video tutorial on how to cut a broader nato to fit the f91w.

[@faisalabdulmalik7527]

Good job

[@wisnia2737]

I'd say it even looks better that way than with 18 mm strap

[@Techsas]

Love you

[@alexandresilva4006]

Very good

[@MrKyRiverBanks]

Did you have to buy 18mm spring bars?

[@TheNunakun]

Seiko 5 & Casio F91W... you have good taste my friend.

[@watchtec5119]

Thanks. Right now I am thinking about next watch and can't decide which one I need next. I am thinking about G-shock maybe you have some suggestions?

[@ahmadaamer6]

Emil's Tec DW5600 or GWM5610. I have worn a DW5600 for years. Last year I switched to the GWM5610 because of atomic time keeping.

Generic

[@ZeHakim]

what are the other 2 watches?

[@marmotmcmarmot2968]

I tried this with a cheap leather band, 22mm, cut it down, COULD NOT GET THE APRING BAR TO ENGAGE (tried for 45 minutes). Maybe the material surrounding the spring bar was too thick? Anybody have a specific band that could link that worked?

[@matteusmag]

Nice video. That A168 bracelet will fit that seiko 5 nicely. I have the same 2 watches and wear the seiko snk809 with the A168 bracelet sometimes.

[@watchtec5119]

I didn't thought to try them on SNK809. Thanks for feedback.

[@terrypope1483]

Is the size 18mm or 22mm? I'm getting conflicting measurements

[@ECThurn]

i'm a little late to this video, but if you remember, did you use the stock spring bars that came with this watch for this mod, or did you use your own standard spring bars? i own an A168WE and it refuses to take standard spring bars, only being able to fit the stock ones.

[@watchtec5119]

I always use the stock spring bars and replace when need. If it refuses try to order thinner spring bars they have many different diameters. I have also Flightmaster and it have very thin spring bar.

[@Neekssuckitbitch]

@watchtech which size of strap did you use? 22mm or 20mm?

[@charlannpeaze]

22 mm

[@bopie5172]

All that work could have bought another casio! 😂

[@adomasgaivenis8815]

Hey! Where did you get that strap from? Is it comfortable to wear?

[@watchtec5119]

Hi, I bought it from Aliexpress link you can find in my description. This leather strap is soft and does fit comfortable.

[@fitfreek]

This is a 22mm band he used folks.
Ps. I can't stand how people wear their watches so far up their wrist hahah, but that's me. Thanks

[@davidtam348]

What is the lug width of your Casio A168? Thanks!

[@waris3732]

18mm

[@mikkoolavijarvinen3653]

So it will accept any 18mm straps as it is?

[@SecretAgentLamarScrotus]

Yes. Get a 22 and cut it down

[@bluebustamante6372]
