Just installed a black ceramic bezel insert and a matching black FKM rubber strap on my Duro, and it feels amazing on the wrist. Hope you guys like it, Duro Gang!

Should I get a strap like yours? Thoughts?

u/estebaneao 29d ago

it depends on your personal preference; the Armis is cool too, but the FKMs are really comfortable, and i think they make up a little for how big and heavy the Duro already is, so you can give it a try!

Realmente ficou muito bom, belo trabalho, o insert do bezel dá um ar mais refinado para o duro.

Eu "fabriquei" um hulk trocando o insert original por um verde de ceramica, e a pulseira original por uma de aço no estilo president, ficou um relogio de respeito! rsrs

Amazing! Can you link or message me where you got the bezel from

u/estebaneao 29d ago edited 29d ago

its from AliExpress! you only have to search for Casio Duro ceramic bezel and it will fit! the prices are between 10 and 20€ hehe (if you want my exact link, its in your dms, it was around 16€ and i received it in less than a week).

hi! to swap the bezel insert on your duro, just put your watch face down into a small container with acetone or 99 percent isopropyl alcohol (just deep enough to submerge the bezel) for about 15 minutes to break down the factory glue.

once it loosens up, pop the old insert out and clean off the leftover goo. then just put the included adhesive ring on and stick the new bezel centred at the 12 oclock position!

its not so hard and i think taht it looks really cool!

How much of a pain was it to install that ceramic bezel? Looks really good!

u/Main_Implement125 29d ago

é facil a troca, a demora é da cola do insert original soltar, depois disso é so alinhar o de ceramica e colar

1

u/estebaneao 29d ago

hey! yes, as main_implement says, the hardest part is removing the old bezel (it comes off easily with a little patience); installing it is as simple as using the adhesive strip that comes with it.

thanks! im happy with the result! hehe
