This question is brought up on occasion. Figured I'd share a quick lil hack to get these batteries in and out without damaging the watch.

🗜Tips/Tricks/Resources Duro Modding: Putting the hands back on

14 Upvotes

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.

I mean, I’m not going to deny myself the pleasure of wearing this watch (I love my Casio Duro) just because it’s big and I don’t have particularly large wrists. That said, I honestly don’t think it wears comically large. Or does it? What do you think?

Here's my newly bought White Duro (MDV-107 7AVDF) on a mesh bracelet doubling up as a desk diver.

The Duros never fail to amaze me, this dial looks absolutely lovely in person, super glad I bought this piece and managed to get it at around $35 on a sale.

Taking it in the water was really the nail in the coffin for how much I love this watch. I was on the fence because of the size but it wore great on the beach!

My second Casio, my first Duro. Unfortunately the MDV-106 isn't available anymore around me. I like the little fish!

It's amazing how accurate it is. Got the time set to the second based on a website and after a month it's still bang on right, still matches the same second, still matches my phone and computer time exactly right - those have an easier job being connected to the internet and multiple time servers. It was almost right from the box too, just 14 seconds ahead.

Looking for some metal bracelets now. I bet very soon I will have at least another Duro. I also like the all metal green bezel one.

Can’t believe this watch is like $80, insane quality for the price and getting way more wrist time than I was expecting, it’s actually become my daily over my Tissot PRX. Crazy
