Top Reddit reviews mentioning Men's Watch Bands:
This is the second mdv that i bought, truly one of the best at that price point. Found the bezel, replaced strap and this casio looks great. Swapping the bezel was a little tricky and couldn't save the oem bezel. Had to use a "heat gun" (hair dryer!) to loosen the glue and it popped out a little easier. The bezel insert can be found on ebay for around $20, not many left from the seller I got mine from. I think he also had blue ones. Search for Planet Ocean XL bezel insert as other sizes may not fit. I used contact cement to secure it in place, cheap at most hardware stores. I'm thinking about doing the lume next, seems easy enough and for a $40 watch, it's worth it to be a learning experience. There's also a bracelet that will fit with little adjustments from amazon, $10. I may buy it (for the second time also!) but my only comment is that is super rattly.
Got it off amazon, best sub $20 leather strap out there!

Thanks! It's a very comfy, and super cheap, strap I got off Amazon from a recommendation on this sub. It looks great on my Khaki King too.
I'm going to order the tan one this week as well.
I'm really loving this watch. Came with a decent oyster style bracelet, but I think it looks great on this $16 leather two-stitch strap from Amazon.

The GA2100 is the Casio GShock that has a strong resemblance to the Royal Oak. Some call it the CasiOak. This case/bracelet kit takes it even closer.

Yeah, this one. Still waiting on my GA-2100-1AER to get here from ebay because I wasn't about to pay $200 to the people selling it on Amazon.
That's the one, thanks! I couldn't find it on Amazon or eBay when I bought mine but Amazon has it in stock now:

I to had to wear it, on different bands to feel out which set up makes it perfect for me.
Have you tried -- I know this is blasphemy -- the Seiko SKX bracelet? Fits the Duro perfectly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6AUGI
I have a few Duros, some on NATO, one on shark mesh. I would have to say the Seiko bracelet is actually by far my favorite in terms of both looks and comfort.
It's hilarious to see the Seiko logo on the clasp when I put it on hahaha
I ordered a black BARTON silicon band from Amazon and it's nice. It has the quick release and looks good with the watch. https://www.amazon.com/BARTON-Quick-Release-Choice-Colors/dp/B01ASOGBYG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_c_awdo_d_pxzzxb79TPW9R_lm
The bracelet is from Amazon. It is the most bought accessory with the watch, but if you look at the reviews you will notice people complaining about how difficult it is to get on the watch. Here is a link to a comment I made to make the process much easier. I suggest you save it for future reference if you do decide to get the watch and bracelet. Here is the link for the bracelet
I got the idea from this thread: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f17/what-square-2638617-2.html
The ebay seller was long gone, but I contacted the OP and he helped me hunt down one down for me on Amazon, for which I am very grateful.

This one is actually different than the one he has. I had to cut it to fit the 16mm lugs, and the outside diameter of the bracelet is slightly too short. The correct one was like $45 after shipping, and not prime. This one was $28 for Prime. I'm glad I did this one too, because it's barely a $28 bracelet. I like the bracelet itself, but the clasp is absolute shit. I may try and replace that in the future. There's a real composite bracelet made by Casio, but I just didn't like the way it looked.
The stock band for this watch is actually really good. It's soft (softer than the import model) and comfortable.
There are probably better options out there, but I'm happy with the way it looks/feels. Especially for the price.
(If you were talking about the watch) - Its a Seiko SKX007. It came on a jubilee style metal bracelet. It was a little over $200 when I bought it.
Why no end links out of curiosity? I mean, you can buy a new one on Amazon (with end links) for $38...
heh...morning dump...i'm 12.
That pen is beautiful.....
Speaking of the watch band. Yea those do pull the hair. I found a polyurethane band that worked perfect for me to get away from the metal bands and still include links. Of course it's black, but it's super comfortable. Have to take care to check the occasional link barrel screw, one or two might loosen a little over time. I added a little blue loctite to fix that issue :D
i got it from the seiko dealership for about 70 usd but it has the seiko branding and it doesn't have the clasp with two buttons that click. i've found it on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Jubilee-Style-22mm-Stainless-Steel/dp/B000P6AUGI
Thank you and I got this from Amazon for $30. It is a 22mm Seiko Jubilee Bracelet and as of right now it's $50 which is a bit much compared to what I paid a while ago.
Is this bracelet from miltat: https://www.amazon.com/MiLTAT-SKX007-SKX009-SKX175-Screw-Links/dp/B00C58S82W
The endlinks are from meranom. You have to make sure you have the old 710 case though. They changed the position of the springbar holes in the lugs. Only for the old case you can ask Dimitry for the old endlinks (they dont list them on the website anymore).
Then i had to do some engineering to fit the centrelink of the standard vostok bracelet to the miltat bracelet (file off excess material and widen the lug holes)

I just put this on my duro … it’s not perfect but it’s a pretty good fit. I severely underestimated how much nicer this watch looks with the right bracelet!

Thank you! Actually I pieced it together.. my girlfriend got me the Casio a while back and I recently got the kit off of amazon. Its literally four screws so super easy to do. Ill link the amazon kit here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HD8XCMM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
Check out Seiko 5 models with integrated bracelets, like the SNXM17J5 or the SNK063J5. Otherwise, you can always do a metal mod on a G-Shock GA2100, if you're going for that specific look.
I got mine on Amazon here. Little pricey there, but can't beat Prime shipping. There are the same case mods floating around on the usual sites like Wish and the Gate for cheaper but I didn't feel like waiting for shipping from China for just a case mod.

It’s the G-shock ga-2100, it’s modded tho. You can buy the mod on Amazon, it’s pretty easy to do; I wouldn’t even really call it a mod because of how easy it is. Here’s the Amazon link to the mod: https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Accessories-G-Shock-GA2100-GA-2110/dp/B08HD8XCMM/ref=asc_df_B08HD8XCMM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475826343809&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1946320843101128361&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hv... - you can find it for cheaper one on Ali-Express I think.
Here's the link to the strap: http://www.amazon.com/Hadley-Roma-MSM881RAC-180-18-mm-Oil-Tan-Leather/dp/B001F0PTM8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417667156&sr=8-2&keywords=hadley+roma+18mm+leather+strap
To be honest it doesn't look very much like the pictures on amazon inrl...
Here's a pic of mine from an old wrist check thread or /r/watches https://i.imgur.com/uY0Za3l.jpg
Have mine on a cheapie silicone from Amazon that I like: http://imgur.com/FJ8oVWK
It is difficult to tell with the lighting, but here's what I think it looks like:
LOL, nice. Is that the Seiko SKX bracelet? I just put one on mine this morning.
Yours looks great and I'm loving mine. So comfy. Also, hilarious seeing the "SEIKO" logo on the clasp when I turn over my Duro.
This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6AUGI
For anybody pondering this, few quick things you probably would have figured out on your own but maybe I can save you a few minutes.
- The SKX bracelet comes with some thicc springbars. I found it difficult if not impossible to get the bracelet onto my Duro using them. With thinner springbars, it was not too bad.
- You'll want to use the smallest possible springbar tool. I have a whole bunch. Some are fatter than others. Not much room to work.
- The SKX endlinks are a pretty good fit but they stick up juuuuust a bit from the Duro's case. Since they're hollow endlinks you can just squeeze them down a bit with pliers. I wrapped my pliers in soft electrical tape so as not to scratch the metal.
I use this silicone band (22mm), very comfortable. I wipe it off with a baby wipe or makeup wipe every night to keep it from getting gross and causing a rash, especially if I've worn my watch at the gym.
