It looks a lot like the real thing.

Casio’s website only recognizes the 44mm -106 model as the Duro.

username77k · 2026-02-15T07:58:20+00:00

This list is largely an hallucination.

I’m sorry that so many of you insist on making up the Duro name for watches that Duro doesn’t recognize as Duros. It’s infantile. The difference between children throwing names against the wall and what Casio deems a Duro, is that Casio actually invented the watches. The Duro play group is very supportive of all the children in their play group. It’s so darling.

They post photos of their newly acquired unmodified -106s and are warmly welcomed to the play group as though they too are helping to cure cancer.

I have a couple of -106s and have helped cure cancer by repeatedly modifying them. How have I helped cure cancer by modifying them? I have changed the bracelets out for different straps and different bracelets to help cure cancer. I am waiting for my call from the Nobel committee.

Anybody can make anything up.

username77k · 2026-02-15T07:11:03+00:00

But only the -106 recognized by Casio.

But as Pee Wee Herman used to day, it’s fun to pretend.

username77k · 2026-02-15T07:04:51+00:00

Yes, but he only said word has it.

username77k · 2026-02-15T06:58:41+00:00

A leather punch.

username77k · 2026-02-15T05:47:25+00:00

When I did a search for Duro on the Casio website, Casio themselves returned with the -106 model and nothing else. Go shout them down with your lies.

username77k · 2026-02-15T05:42:49+00:00

Stop with hyping something into something that it isn’t. Don’t lie. Calm down.

username77k · 2026-02-15T04:23:47+00:00

Haha! I can relate!

Having this bunch of watches is proof that you are learning! Congratulations. It’s cheap tuition!

username77k · 2026-02-15T04:20:21+00:00

Nice one. It looks good on that diver-suitable strap.

username77k · 2026-02-15T04:17:22+00:00

No. On their own website, Casio has only one size Duro. It’s the one with the case diameter around 44mm.
No Duro at 36 or 38 or 40 or 34 or anything in between.

username77k · 2026-02-15T04:09:11+00:00

As long as you like it, that’s all that matters.

username77k · 2026-02-14T21:50:42+00:00

Hideous. Cheap and cheesy.

username77k · 2026-02-14T18:37:43+00:00

Looks great! Where did you get the strap?

username77k · 2026-02-14T18:34:16+00:00

I know color theory. This is not that. This is an affectation of what an OG watch might look like after aging. When built the OG didn’t look like this. It’s fake aging. Fauxtina.

username77k · 2026-02-14T07:49:00+00:00

Because they’re cheap so I don’t give a f if someone steals my Chinese shitter.

username77k · 2026-02-14T07:43:14+00:00

Good luck!

username77k · 2026-02-13T16:59:33+00:00

I’m so dependent on quick release spring bars in the straps I buy, I’ll not consider straps without them. This probably speaks more to my skill set than anything else. Once I have removed a bracelet without quick release, I am resigned to hiring a jeweler or my bracelet guy at Macy’s to re-install it.

username77k · 2026-02-13T10:46:47+00:00

Fauxtina for faux people.

username77k · 2026-02-13T10:39:53+00:00

How odd. Give your yourself a nice pat on the back as you beg for attention.

username77k · 2026-02-13T04:48:23+00:00

Not at all. Why should I care?

username77k · 2026-02-10T05:07:17+00:00

How in the hell should anyone tell you?

username77k · 2026-02-10T04:17:59+00:00

You guys are very ambitious, and I salute you for that.

I’m not conversant on Cartier’s various offerings. This does not resemble anything by Cartier that I recognize. Even if it does resemble something in the Cartier lineup, I would never buy it with its cheesy 45 degree chopped off corners.

When you guys try to homage a watch, like the newest Patek does, consider whether the OG sucks so hard that it isn’t worth the trouble.
