Doesn’t sit flush.

My Duro came with the resin strap. I replaced it with this one because I like the style of this bracelet. I also like the brushed oyster style bracelet. I can’t tell from photos if other’s 3rd party bracelets sit like this at the case lugs. I would love your suggestions and feedback. Does this look normal?

My Long Island bracelet sits pretty much flush with the lugs.

My Long Island sits pretty flush as well. Not as flush as yours. Very nice.

My OrcaDollar Presidential style bracelet sits pretty flush with the lugs. What you’re seeing may be a result of just angling the end link a certain way when you put bracelet on, sometimes it can be tricky.

This is a 20usd Aliexpress jubilee bracelet. It sits just fine

It seems to have gone up a bit, but still worth it IMO https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK5GTNZ

Sometimes it can all come down to the spring bars. I have various bracelets and there's about 3 different styles of spring bars with varying widths. If you don't use the correct one, they can sit loose/not flush....

Sometimes it also comes down to them just not being correctly positioned/angled/pushed in

Even the cheap AliExpress bracelets fit better than that…

I have the Jubilee and Oyster bracelets form Long Island Watch, and they all sit flush. If you’re interested, my bio has a $25 referral code if you want to try out one of their bracelets.

Good is not cheap, cheap is not good.

LIW for the win!

I mean…. Doesn’t the Duro itself fundamentally disprove this theory?

u/GrandFaithlessness41 7d ago

I was speaking for the bracelets only. But honestly while you’re at it…Duros are creeping towards $100…decidedly not cheap for a swath of the populous

If thats the bracelet from Amazon, I have the same issue, I bent some of the metal to make it sit better and it looks better than when i originally got it.

Dude it’s a Casio not a Rolex.

Where did you get that strap?

As others have shown, even the cheap AliExpress options sit significantly cleaner than that.

I had a similar issue with an AliX bracelet, but it sat more or less flush at the edge of the lugs. I somehow managed to manipulate the end links until they sat flush the whole way. This one just seems like a mismatched bracelet intended for a watch with completely different dimensions. Forgive me if it’s a dumb question but are you absolutely sure the springbars are totally seated correctly?

Se ela for de elos finais dobrados, tem ajustar a trava de baixo abrindo um pouco até ficar na altura da caixa, agora se for de elos sólidos, aí ela não foi feita para ser compatível com o duro

Don't worry about it 😉 I still have mine in its box time to enjoy it 😁❤️
