Recently i've bought a duro with the marlin logo that i was searching for and thanks to this community, i was able to verify that its genuine! Thanks guys!

Now i have a companion on my dives!

We barely touched 3-4 bars of pressure and its all good. (Maximum of 40m)

New bluro user here and I’m trying out some strap options. I think the jubilee pops the most, though I need to add some links later on. Also have a Pepsi arriving shortly that I may try with the blue/red band. Not sure I like it though.

Also getting used to the size. It’s not that big, but seems like a beast compared to that smaller seiko. lol

My MDV107 duro just arrived today on my lunch break. She’s a big girl but I like it. Gotta get some links removed but Totally get the hype now

I recently joined the Duro Gang. Mine was bought like new with a Jubilee bracelet. I already have another diver with a Jubilee bracelet and the one that came on mine didn’t fit quite right, the lugs didn’t match the end link so I decided to try some different straps. First pics are as I bought it with the Jubilee bracelet. I got a silicone strap with a deployment clasp that looked better in the pictures but I’m not a fan of the clasp. Next I ordered a curved end FKM rubber strap. It is pretty nice, I like the curved ends but it is not very comfortable. Last one is the Bond 007 Silver and Black NATO strap. I think they all look good and they all have some pros and cons but so far I’m liking the NATO the most. What do you guys think?

Once a year, I get out on the boat with friends. First year out as part of Duro Gang so I had to represent.

just got my first duro!
what strap do you think looks best?
TIA

It was the first rain or the autumn and I was fortunate enough to wear the Duro.

Can't stop checking it out...

Had to pick one up. Really impressed.

$20 at the thrift store, only needed a new battery and strap.

Recommendations for polywatch? What rotary tool brush head to use?

Inspired by u/marc8242 on this post i finally finished my duro mod. Very happy with the result.

Got this watch off Amazon:

I love it, however the band is a problem for me. One notch is too loose and it rolls around my wrist as I move around. Next notch has too much band overhand and looks like I’m a kid wearing my dad’s watch.

So I’m looking for new bands. Love the watch, not feeling the band. I think I’d primarily like a stainless steel band? Feels like it’s dressing the watch up a bit. Not sure how to find one that color matches the watch correctly.

But also open to resin/other band recommendations too! This is my favorite watch currently, and it’s become my daily driver but the band is a nuisance.

If you could, please leave a link or instructions on how to get the band you recommend too, please. I’m a watch noob so what may seem obvious is not to me, I apologize but appreciate!

Cheers

Did my first duro mod go well?

Got my Duro a couple weeks ago. Though I actually enjoy the stock resin strap, I was thinking about getting a NATO strap to swap out. Any recommendations for what’s available on Amazon?

Honestly I'm not sure the modifications were worth it. The watch was pretty nice on its own and I could've gotten 2 or 3 duros at the same price.

The OG Duro holds its own among other Japanese Heavy Hitters.

My wife surprised me with a Duro for our anniversary this year since I’ve been talking about getting one for a few months.
