This video features the Casio MTP-S110-2AVCF Diver-style solar-powered watch. (Here is my In Depth review of the watch... [ Ссылка ] ) There is another version of this watch with a slightly different color scheme. Both versions of this come with resin watch bands. To my knowledge (as of mid-2020) there is no "stock" version of this watch with a metal bracelet. I decided to have some fun with a minor modification.

While it should be possible to put any number of watch bands, straps and bracelets on this watch, I decided to look for a genuine Casio replacement for the stainless steel bracelet that used to come with the Duro model MDV106 (also known as the Marlin). I did that and, presto! It was a perfect fit on this watch. If you can’t find a bracelet made for the MDV106 you might try the bracelet made for an MTD-1079D. That has a slightly different pattern on the metal but it should still fit, since I know the MDV106 band will fit on an MTD-1079.

Keep in mind that the most difficult part of this modification was the sometimes-simple task of removing a couple of links from the bracelet so that it would fit my average-size wrist. After making most of this video I realized that the method I was using was wrong. I had decided to improvise using tools I already had sitting around the house. After exerting so much effort that my fingertips were sore, I guessed that, somewhere out there in the world, there must be a tool made specifically to remove these kinds of links. I found one and ordered it so that, next time, I won't have to struggle as much to work with links like this. I plan to make another video soon in which I'll utilize the specific type of pliers that are best for taking those links out.

Update: Here's a video in which I remove a couple of links from this bracelet using a dedicated T-Bar removal pliers tool. [ Ссылка ]
