🛡️Moderator News r/DuroMods or r/DuroGang?
Update- the r/DuroMods subreddit has been without moderation for a hot minute so I stepped in to keep things rolling. As of now, r/DuroGang remains the catch-all unofficial fan community for the casio duro series of wristwatches. At r/DuroGang, we post photos of both our stock and (finished) modded duros. At r/DuroMods, you'll find a dedicated space where we discuss the watch modification process, human & AI watch concepts (within reason), tutorials, resources, lists of part suppliers, etc.
Previously, only modded MDV-106/107 models were allowed at r/DuroMods. That changes today. If you have ANY modded/franken/hybrid duro, regardless of the model number, you may post it in both subreddits. However, in r/DuroMods, users will be strongly encouraged to include information on their watch-building process in addition to a parts list. The only requirement is that the modded watch originally grew from a stock duro, regardless of the model number.
We're working on setting up rules and a wiki with links to various resources/tips/tutorials. If you'd like to have your community highlighted under our "sister subreddits" section? please send us a modmail.
More info to come soon!

🗜Tips/Tricks/Resources Duro Modding: Putting the hands back on
Fitting the hands back on a watch is fiddly work, especially the seconds hand as they're so fragile. Rather than using tweezers to place the hand, have you got some Rodico gum?
I use a lump of Rodico pulled into a claw shape that I can hold between my fingers.
Pick up the seconds hand by dabbing the rodico down onto the pointer end of the hand so that it's sitting horizontally when my hand is in a position that I can brace against the movement pad with my ring finger.. photo:

I find then if I can get my eyeline down level with the watch dial looking across it, a bit lower than where this photo was taken from, it's easier to drop the hand onto the pinion and press it down with a hand pusher.
The Rodico has enough tack to hold the hand while you get it lined up, but will pull off the hand easily when you've got it in place with a lot less chance of damaging the hand or the dial than if you're holding it with tweezers.
Works for hour & minute hands as well, but with them I tend to find it's more helpful to line them up while looking straight down from above so you can make sure you get the timing alignment right.

MDV106C-5AV in black is here too...
https://www.casio.com/us/watches/casio/product.MDV-106C-5AV/
Here's the black Duro version. This is fresh, but a tad steep at the moment. But still... I had to get the new model. I wonder if they upgraded something else? Movement maybe? What do y'all think, is there another $95 here when you deduct the $5 strap and $10 Miyota movement?

MRW200H in aftermarket replacement Duro case
I posted this build a few weeks ago when I swapped the movement from my MRW200H into my Duro MDV106 case. That left me with the Duro movement without a case, so I bought a replacement case from Aliexpress. I decided to put the Duro back in the original case and use the replacement case for my DUR200 mod. The replacement case came with a ceramic bezel insert, double domed sapphire crystal, crown and a white chapter ring(which I will be using to mod the MDV106 later). I used the dial, movement, movement holder and chapter ring from the MRW200H. Most people will use the Duro chapter ring when doing this mod because the MRW chapter ring is slightly smaller and it leaves a gap between the case and the ring. I don’t like that the Duro chapter ring is thinner so it leaves a large gap between the numerals and the chapter ring and it exposes some marks on the dial that are usually covered by the MRW chapter ring. The replacement case is slightly smaller so the MRW chapter ring doesn’t leave a gap and covers the marks on the dial. Besides MRW200H and the replacement case I also needed a bracelet and a stem. I went with a President style bracelet and I found one that has end links that match the lugs on the case perfectly. The only modifications I needed to do was cut the stem to the correct length and I had to file the edge of the chapter ring down a bit to fit the case better. I also used dial dots to attach the chapter ring to the dial.

Finally gave in to duro
I have a question though why is duro with resin strap more expensive than with the steel bracelet?

⌚️Multi-Duro⌚️ New to the Duro Gang
Officially joined the Casio Duro Gang! ⌚🔥
I’ve got several watches in my collection, but I finally decided to give my Apple Watch a much-needed break. That’s when I discovered these beauties!
I liked them so much that I couldn’t help but buy every color—except the two-tone gold! 😂 Of course, I had to upgrade the bracelets to give each one its own look.
So far, I’m absolutely loving them! I even rocked my Pepsi Duro to a job interview today! 💪⌚
I think I’m officially hooked! 😂

⌚️Multi-Duro⌚️ My second duro (black bezel)
I bought the white dial mdv-107 but I was wondering isn't the bezel supposed to be grey??
I first bought the black mdv-107 and fell in love with this watch and bought as well for 48$, it's just too good, looks especially if you upgrade the bracelet, accurate and durable.

First SotC collection
I mentioned that I have 8 Duros and another on the way. This shot includes 6 of the current 8. If i keep going I will eventually have to get a case just for Duros.

📝Reviews Just buy it! It ain't that big!
Oh the duro is too big! Oh this oh that! Man F yourself! Buy it, u won't regret it. The worst that can happen is that you will grow into it and be rocking the best bang for your buck!
For reference my wrist is 16,5cm and I think it suits me good. And even if it looked way to big I would still use it with pride.
What do u think of it? It is really that big that becomes unwearable?!
Im taking recommendations for watches btw. Tell me some good bangers for the broke college students

🙋♀️Questions & Feedback This italian website claims the 106s (marlin logo) are not being produced anymore and that the 107s have more intense lume and improved applied indexes. Not sure if this are confirmed.

👶Newbie🐣 baby duro
just bought this and i can’t decide if i like it or if it looks too small.
my wrist is around 18 cm (7inch) but i don’t really like big watches and the full duro 44mm might be too much, opinions?
(i have to order it to try it on since there’s none available in my area)
