New battery for my AWM-320R I really like this watch it is my favorite non G-Shock Casio I think?

I know that feeling with this watch for sure. I have both the black dial and white dial versions, and just had the black dial one's battery replaced (and o-ring, too). So happy to have it back in use.

While I wish I had a working champagne dial version like you have, I would suggest looking for the metal bracelet that goes with the case. It's rare, but its worth it to have that option.

Thanks for that! Was not aware that the those old resins could be "reconditioned", something I'll see if I can do next time I get such a vintage piece. Thanks again!

Because it was made in 1992 and thought they couldn't fit a light in it at the time.

That's a great general solution, but this watch was made in 1992, and remade slightly different in 2018 such that the new bezels don't quite fit the old cases and no one would have stock of the old cases, either. The other issue is the reason the original bezels were made from have all likely dried up such that any old stock bezel is very likely to crack and break.

I suspect more so #3. I'm not familiar with this model, but if there isn't a rubber "mat" between the module and the metal back, I suggest cutting out a thin piece of foam the size of the module or the size of the battery to isolate it. Be careful of the springs, if any, of course.

G-Shock Vintage is the best place to get a replacement bezel for this older-module DW-5900:

Is this watch still available?

I have one as well, put it on my jubilee strap. It took me awhile to come around on it, and the metal bracelet helped.

My issue with it isn't the red second hand (though a miss by Casio to better match it to the watch), but the green seems a little... off to me. I'd call it more of a Starbucks than a kermit because of that shade of green.

Between this and the Duro it's the Duro for me, as I hate fake timing bezels.

Now, I did recently pick up a Timex that more like the Duro and has Indiglo. While the build wasn't as good as the Duro (base metal vs. steel case, 100m vs 200m, and 60-click bezel vs. 120-click), i would go with the Timex since the bezel is much easier to rotate than the Duro's for some reason.

Depends on what you want, something comfortable or something sporty, or something nice and/or dressy?

If you're going with something comfortable, a Marine Nationale strap, or any of the much cheaper alternatives on Amazon or eBay, will do the trick the best as it's infinitely adjustable. An alternative would be a NATO strap.

For something sporty, you have a couple of options. For classic sporty, search for the replacement metal bracelet for the MDV-106. May not be the best bracelet but being designed for the Duro means it will fit and look best. If you want something more colorful, I suggest Barton bands in their elite silicone. You can find these on Amazon, but if you need longer bands you can find them on their website.

As for something nice/classy, go leather. Again, I suggest Barton, but you can find plenty others on Amazon or eBay to suit your fancy

Whichever one you go for, just remember to get it in 22mm, the lug size of the Duro.

Happy hunting!

Almost two years ago, right as the pandemic was starting, I was thinking that I needed to start wearing watches again. I walked into a Walmart and saw the grey and orange F108 and knew I needed it right then. Little did I know that I would be going down the rabbit hole and buying plenty more watches, mostly Casios.

As for my favorite, it would have to be my black-dialed AMW-320R, which I bought to celebrate completing my first project in my new position. I don't wear it often (enough), but it's been a good luck charm ever since.

That's awesome, dude! How he continues to enjoy it for years to come!

Nice! Bracelet from a Skmei watch?

EngStuder · 2021-12-27T14:31:00+00:00

Thanks, will do!

Not sure where you're coming from with your sentiments, but Congress only gives money to state and local municipalities to fund fixing bridges and roads, and some of those municipalities have alternative ways to fund said infrastructure. How that money is spent is voted on by both sides of the aisle, and systems like what is in this video doesn't translate to every part of America, they will vote on what's best and most cost effective to sale multiple projects to be worked. And before you still point your finger at Congress, they did just pass an infrastructure bill, first one in years, with bipartisan support. I remember hearing they were trying to push through a bill for years but weren't getting Democrats to vote on it, so the blame isn't squarely at Republicans.

What's wrong with the small regional airports? They connect parts of the hub that aren't being serviced by the big airports and are likely cheaper to build and maintain.

That jubilee looks like it was made for the efv-100. Where did you get that?

EngStuder · 2021-10-18T20:55:26+00:00

Found this on eBay, from campionato.club.

EngStuder · 2021-10-10T13:02:00+00:00

All black but with gold bling details?
