Perfect Casio Duro Bracelet (It Does Fit!)
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.

BEAUTIFUL watch bracelet.
Beautiful steel watch bracelet that came complete with tools to attach and size it. Well-crafted solid links, with the center three rows polished to a mirror finish. The curved end pieces fit my watch perfectly. I love that it’s tapered, which looks more refined than a straight bracelet and keeps the bulk down. Latch works perfectly and smoothly. Quality design and construction. Highly recommend.

High Quality, Difficult to Install
I'll start with the good. This watch band is exactly what I was looking for. It's comfortable, good looking, and feels high quality. It has a very reassuring weight and feels very solid. The tools it comes with are getting the job done with no issues, so adjusting the bracelet size is easy and straightforward.The bad is the installation. The tab on the bottom make is very difficult, if not impossible, to fit on a watch with thicker and more substantial lugs (Timex Expedition 40mm T46681 is shown). I eventually resorted to bending the tabs inward and was able to eventually get the curved ends to attach. The fit in between the lugs is extremely tight, which makes things even more difficult, but that's a result of the style rather than the specific product itself I think, so that's just something you need to be aware of before going into the installation.Overall I'm happy with the purchase. Be patient during the installation, and if you need to be, be creative.

The best replacement band out there !!!
These are my favorite replacement bands. They have a good weight and are solid links. The latch functions well and secure. The finishes are bright and shining. The end pieces are hard to find in most band kits but are included in these kits. The included tool kit is very functional for first time watch band replacement. I have bought several of these bands and all have been perfect. The Jubilee is my favorite style. I installed this band on my beater watch and is now a classic dress watch for me. My go to watch band !

Pins does not alien
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.

Good quality but difficult to work with
The bracelet itself feels and looks very good for $20. I bought it to replace the resin strap on a Casio Duro and the issues came with the installation. This is not the first watch I’ve worked on myself but this was the most trouble one has caused me. Removing links was easy enough but using the pins to actually attach the bracelet was a nightmare. I spent about three hours getting it on only for it to pop off while I was wearing it a few hours later. This happened repeatedly until I caved and took it into a jeweler to do for me. Since then, it’s been fine but I pray I never want to swap the bracelet out again.
