That defeats the whole purpose of the watch dude. Do it yourself easily or buy a watch with sapphire. Dumbest comment I have ever read about this watch.
@@SiameseDream97 Then keep the original mineral crystal that comes on the watch or buy a different brand in the same style that comes with sapphire. Duh? Are you really that dumb SYRO to ask such a stupid question? Better yet you and him should probably just stop watches all around.
There's been one 40 mm casio duro for years it's been sold only in Japan and it's been discontinued BUT you can still find it in Amazon they'll send it straight from Japan the model is Casio duro mdv 100 but is is a different model I like it though... By the way if you want the same model but 40mm there are 3 of them coming but without the Marlin (front and back) with new colorways: Pepsi, Batman and the classic black dial.
All quarts diver watch brands need to incorporate the Vostok 2 piece back. This will insure that the watch stays waterproof after you replace the battery.
I recommend the Duro as the best beater watch for the money. Recently took a bad spill on the sidewalk and aside from a few scratches on the crystal it held up fine unlike my nose. LOL!
In the Past when I’ve replaced a watch crystal finding the replacement has always been the most difficult task. Thank you for doing the hard part and posting the link! Love your show!
Without this video I would not have been able to remove the crown -- at least not without a much greater deal of difficulty. Of all the videos I've seen of removing the crown, this was the only that had a clear shot and explanation of what to depress. Fantastic job, thank you so much, I now have a domed sapphire in mine and am feeling pretty good about that!
I bought the same crystal, followed what you did in the video using cheap tools from Amazon, and it really wasn't hard (just a little patience required). I'm happy with this cheap mod and I don't expect to do anything else to the watch head. Now I sort of want sapphire crystals on a couple other Casios I own, but I'd have to find the exact sizes. Thanks for this very well done instructional video!
Just done these mods and it was easier than I thought. Removing the glass and replacing with sapphire was a breeze. The strap makes the whole thing feel really substantial. Totally different feel to the watch now. Thank you JOMW.. 👍🏻 😀
Jody, as usual a very amusing yet informative review. I have a Casio Duro and I like it very much but the mod that you did really elevated it to a seriously classy watch. On CZcams there are many watch reviewers, some good and some are pretty lousy that they are pretty well jumping on the watch reviewer bandwagon with very little knowledge of horology. However, it’s obvious that you are a very keen watch enthusiast with a considerable knowledge and experience of the subject, and the Scottish gift of the gab doesn’t do any harm either which makes “Just One More Watch” stand head and shoulders above most, if not all of the other watch review channels. I take my well worn cowboy hat off to you sir and keep up the excellent work.
Just finished modding a Duro Kermit as a birthday gift for my best friend. Added a double domed sapphire crystal, new aluminum bezel insert and a two toned steel/ceramic bracelet. Thanks for the tutelage on these mods. I think he is going to love his new watch.
I bought a Duro after seeing your review (although watching others as well) for the princely sum of $42 a couple of months ago. I bought the sapphire crystal with AR coating and just completed installing it. It went a lot more smoothly than I was expecting. Thanks very much for this and the rest of your videos.
Thanks for soldiering through. Cool video. I bought a Duro at Walmart on clearance for $11. I’ve bought four different straps for it. So fun and versatile.
@@GeneGirard007 yes, any bracelet for an skx will fit them. You do have to bend the spring bars a little, but they fit pretty good and make it look like a million bucks.
That's a tremendous improvement! In my eyes, unless you are diving, rubber straps look homely and cheap. The change to a bracelet utterly transforms this watch. While sapphire and milled clasp are improvements, the "rubber-band" would be the would be first to go for me. Another great vid, Jody.
Get well soon Jody. We need our routine fill of just one more watch videos. You’re a real trooper supplying us with great content even when you’re not feeling 100 percent. We really appreciate you and your dedication. Stay well my friend.
Feel better soon! Thanks for being a champ and making another great vid. Every time I watch one of your mod videos I feel less nervous about taking off a case back with my amazon tools.
Yknow, I don't go with all the shade people are throwing on that stock rubber bracelet. I kind of like it. It doesn't catch my arm hairs and it doesn't get sweat stained or smell funny. :D
I looked in vain for a DIY mod vid for the Duro for while. It's not out there till now, Jody. You're the man and you've done Duro fans a great service. I hope you get a bajillion views. This is detailed and let's the average Joe like me pimp my watch with confidence because I just got started with watches early this year. It's nice to have all the parts sourced. I was going to pick up a Crystal Times Saph, but I decided not to because, like you said it costs as much as the watch and that just seems silly. A huge thanks and 👍.
Nice mods! You've inspired me to pick up a saphire upgrade once I scratch the crystal on mine, but so far it's holding up well. I think the Duro also looks great on a shark mesh bracelet. I picked one up off of ebay for 20 bucks and wore it all summer long. And just an aside, most reviews I've seen put the lug to lug at 48mm not the 52mm you mentioned. I don't have calipers to verify with mine but it might be worth double checking.
I love my Casio Duro! I got the Pepsi bezel one at Walmart in the US for $49.92. It looks like the GMT clock up on the wall in this video, as a matter of fact. The stock resin strap isn't half bad as it's similar to some of my G-Shocks, though I bet a jubilee bracelet would look fantastic and could almost pass for a Seiko diver. Great vid, I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to tinker with watches.
You should do a lot more of these. De-subbing Ali specials... the possibilities for personalisation are endless. You could even sell JOMW emblems to cover up the Chinese logos!
Awesome, looks fun and a very worthwhile lot of upgrades. Those tools look cheap and handy, pretty fiddly trying to get the clasp micro-adjust spring bars out with dental floss, haha
Jody, I don’t have the Duro, but have the black and yellow MTD-1065. I had need of a battery replacement and the crystal appeared hazy. Thanks to your video I was able to remove the crown and movement and clean the inside of the crystal - mint!! Thank you so much; priceless information!
A really great set of mods, nice work not cocking it up. 😁 But, to be honest, the only mod I would do on a Duro would be improving the lume. I'd put it on a nato and replace the crystal if and when I scratched the mineral. But the lume would be my first improvement.
Good job! Now I'm happy an confident to open my watch, You show that it's so easy! I'm brazilian and is a great honnor to see you dressing a t-short remembering Ayrton Senna.
Jody - your vids always inspire me. I recently blagged a Duro off Amzn (£38) and just finished modding it using a 22mm 'Omega style' bracelet that I had sitting around spare and left over from a Pagani that I had swapped out for a leather strap . I added an Orange 'Planet Ocean' style bezel insert off eBay ( £15) + Sapphire Crystal with Blue AR coating from AliExpress (£17) and it has transformed a good lookng watch into one that looks just as nice as a $$$$ Rolex / Omega - so thx for the inspiration Jody. ....I'm sure Rolex must be getting worried ;)
I might be the only one, but I don't mind the stock strap on this at all. Might be worth upgrading to hands with better lume while the dial is out though.
Now that you have a pressure tester I hope you test this so those of us thinking about doing a crystal upgrade can see if we keep some degree of WR at a basic pool or snorkeling level.
Jordy saying his tools are medieval and "bad" I'm here with basically self made tools except spring bar tool and screwdrivers and tweezers, even made piezo-mic for timegrapher on PC (tg 0.5.0) Yet I have managed to regulate 2 vintage watches and built one from scrap parts with Miyota 8215 movement inside. Screw down crown and all that diver look with non-rotating bezel. Seems to be waterproof
🚗💨Absolutely LOVE your shirt! Senna is the reason I got involved with motorsports! I own three Casio Duros. One stock, the next is my James Bond version with the NATO strap, and the third is my Omega Ocean version with Orange outer dial and Orange dive strap. One of my favorite watches in my collection! Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
Oh yeah! Me? Black Duro with black BluShark neoprene strap Blue Duro....same in blue Gold......diy brown waxed leather strap I WANT SAPPHIRE! Gonna get me some 😊
Perfect watch to mod for newbies. It's a really good watch, it's popular, and it's inexpensive. Omega Planet Ocean bezel inserts fit perfectly, though I forget which size at the moment. Have a blue insert installed right now. Just don't try to remove the bezel to do it. The factory bracelet is a Planet Ocean similar style as well. Oil filled with a domed crystal looks good, too.
I was going to say, the only mod this is missing to make it perfect is the hydro mod. That would negate any concerns of water resistance right there and give you a pretty bulletproof setup. I think I'll have to do this suite of mods on my blue Duro. I also wanted to do the sapphire crystal from crystal times, but $50 was more than I felt like was reasonable to spend on it. $18 is much more manageable. Thanks, Jody!
Thanks for this video. I watched it a few times to get a feel for the process, and then did the sapphire upgrade in front of the computer while watching this video. (Tip - the space bar is a convenient way to pause and unpause the video.)
Hey Jody thanks for keeping that orange pitcher in your back ground, we had one when I was young growing up in Adelaide, it reminds me of home, oh and your videos are great, thanks.
Funny, I was looking at bracelets for the Duro just yesterday. It looks great on the strapcode bracelet with the endlinks (made for Seiko, but fits), but a $100 bracelet for a $50 dollar watch is a bit of a hard pill to swallow. Pacparts sells an OEM bracelet for about $18, but its a special order and takes about 3 weeks. Aliexpress appears be the way to go with this one. May I ask why you changed the clasp provided with the bracelet? Love the video, hope you feel better soon.
The original hardened mineral crystal is more smudge resistant and less reflective than sapphire. I think I’d wait until it had significant scratches before I’d consider a mod that will almost certainly destroy the 200m water resistance.
@@m39fan when a manufacturer like Casio says it’s a 200m watch, it’s a pretty safe bet it’s a 200m watch, at least until the first battery replacement.
Just revisited this video a year after it was published. Put the Crystal Times domed sapphire in a gold bezel Duro and put it on a tropical strap. Turned out great. Worth every penny.
Awesome vid, I got mine just after your previous video from Amazon. I love it a lot. Since I'm mostly desk diving I'm not that worried about the water resistance, but I think I'll just wait for the first scratch on the crystal to do it.. 😹
Casio Duro with a sapphire crystal...Priceless!!! Casio should offer that as a $25 option.
That defeats the whole purpose of the watch dude. Do it yourself easily or buy a watch with sapphire. Dumbest comment I have ever read about this watch.

@@lucasle11 guy here obviously pays someone to change the battery on his watch
No one:
Jody: *has milled clasps lying around the house*
Sadly I do as well, but without the reasonable justification of a job reviewing watches.
Only "proper" ones though.
I have 1 milled clasp lying around...
3:22 with the small size of the movement, I wonder if Casio ever considered making a 40mm Duro.
Idk why they haven't, so many damn people want that shit.
They really need to-- they can call it "The Duro Reduced" lol
I wish they did, standard duro is too large for me.
Thinking the same thing, still waiting for a 40mm duro :\
There's been one 40 mm casio duro for years it's been sold only in Japan and it's been discontinued BUT you can still find it in Amazon they'll send it straight from Japan the model is Casio duro mdv 100 but is is a different model I like it though...

The original hardened mineral crystal is more smudge resistant and less reflective than sapphire. I think I’d wait until it had significant scratches before I’d consider a mod that will almost certainly destroy the 200m water resistance.
The water resistance is a guess anyway. Unless a watch says Diver's 200m or ISO 200M, it's pretty much a guess or marketing.
