I’m aware of how I installed the bracelet isn’t correct.Thank you all who pointed out that being my issue. Had a few of you awesome viewers comment on it. Hope to see you’ll in the next one!
Perfect timing, was just wondering about this setup this week. You've explained everything perfectly without bias. You gave me the green light. Cheers man!
You have it on the watch backwards. Flip it around. Flip lock safety latch to the 6:00 side. Double pusher and micro adjustments to the 12:00 side. Then the outward curve section of the scissor milled clasp will go over your thumb bulge when sliding on and off. 😉
Thank you for watching it means a lot! I am aware of the orientation I have the clasp after I sized it I realized the opposite was easy for me to lock the bracelet compared to the way it should be. It’s more seamless to lock it this way. And also I’m a lefty so anything with my right head feels awkward. The watch has been on what I dubbed the “Olivia Strap” since I made this video.
@@artieshell9205 Thank you for giving the advice on the bracelet. That’s something i hope to build on this channel. A community where we can communicate have fun and build awesome memories with each video.
I have two Duros and it just so happened that as I was considering buying bracelets for them Marc released these... they seemed a little pricey compared to some of the other options but having discovered his channel and liking his persona and transparency I wanted to give him my custom and so ordered both the O-style and J-style. I was not disappointed - they really are quality bracelets and totally transform the Duro into a watch that looks and feels far more expensive than it is. I definitely recommend them. The only very minor gripe I have is something that you touched on - on my J-style bracelet the topside edges of the links feel a little sharp - the underside edges that are next to your skin are definitely softened so it really doesn't bother me. The edges of the links on my O-style bracelet are definitely softer all round and overall I think the O-style better fits the tooly style of the watch - worth bearing in mind if anyone is trying to choose between them.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! I was looking at the other bracelet as well and totally understand with price points with other companies, though I believe the higher price bracelet will be better long-term and matching it with the Duro already a solid watch, is a no-brainer. The oyster bracelet is 4/5 for me I think I did a good job sharing my experience with the product and I wanted to be transparent. My channel is more of an interest/hobby channel. I love watches and wanted to share what I saw and being within the watch community on CZcams, it can be bias. I was thinking of grabbing the blue one too! Do check out the strap habit straps I shown. They are a 5/5
@@JoeyAnswer will definitely check out Straphabit - I hadn't heard of them before. Particularly like the look of that orange rubber strap. Big fan of having multiple strap options - definitely give a whole new feel to a watch.
Around April 15, I tried to order this, but they were out of stock on both styles of bracelets for the Duro. so another CZcams channel had a link for a bracelet by another watch company in New York. The bracelets were $18 postage paid. They arrive in two days and they are awesome. Good quality bracelet. I’m not picky in terms of if they’re folded or solid links. I don’t have the tools, so I took it to a jeweler and he put on the bracelet. The issue was the bracelet came with a straight end piece, and I didn’t know how to take that off. The jeweler took it off put on the curved end piece. I bought another bracelet for my other Duro, and I love wearing them. I was going to buy this, but like I said it was sold out when I looked on there website.
I love my LIW bracelets. I have this one and I’ll tell you if you put the bracelet on the correct orientation you won’t scrape your thumb with the milled clasp. Turn the bracelet around and you’ll be happy
Yeah I’m aware of that after putting it on. I love the bracelet though for me I found it easy to put it on this way being a lefty. Thanks for watching it means a lot!
I understand why though I find it to be worth it if you really like the watch. I bought a two piece nato for my F-108 that cost $15, price of the watch but I only use it for that one and when the watch breaks i get another one and i have that strap ready to go for another journey. Thanks for watching it means a lot!
@@JoeyAnswer Agreed, if you really like the watch. I accidentally dropped one of my Duros face down on a ceramic tile bathroom floor, smashing the crystal. Got a new sapphire crystal online for $18. Had a local jeweler/watch repair replace the broken crystal which cost $35 for a total of $53. I paid $44 for the Duro. So there you go.
@@jltrem it may be more economical, buying a brand new one yes. But I feel as long as it’s fully functional, why not. It’s not like the plastic Cassio were there easily replaceable.
Thank you for your advice. I change up straps on that Duro. Someone else gave me advice and I explained my reasoning. Thank you for watching it means a lot.
Thank you! I got it from Long Island Watches. Marc also sells a jubilee version too. Though I’m more of the Oyster guy. Thanks for watching it means a lot!

LIW make some incredible brackets, and offer exceptional customer service

That’s insane they sold out. It does show its in demand for sure. Thanks for watching it means a lot!
Looks great! Congrats

Very nice bracelet. I have two Duros and use Natos. I just have a hard time buying a bracelet that costs more than I paid for the watch.

It can be a plastic Casio and I’m still taken great care of it lol
Try putting the watch on with the caseback facing your palm

Orange is nice
It’s so much better in person I love it. You won’t be disappointed if you were looking at that one.

Nice watch ❤sir where did you buy the oyster bracelet
Thank you! I got it from Long Island Watches. Marc also sells a jubilee version too. Though I’m more of the Oyster guy. Thanks for watching it means a lot!
I thought I had the link in the description, I added it so you can visit the website
Thank you
What is your wrist measurement?
Sadly I’m unsure sorry. I am in the itty-bitty wrist community though, haha.
@@JoeyAnswer hahaha ok...me too. That's why I asked. I think you have the same size wrist as me (approximately 6 inches)
