Cheers!

 

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto

...in the ghettooo....

haha!

i love ghetto fixes |> the band on my 8300 suffered the same fate (tho much more severe, hanging by a thread kinda deal) while i was out one night so i popped into a 711 and asked to borrow a stapler. that fix held up for the better part of a year till the rusting staples started to make my arm itchy

 

That's the spirit!

 

You made it look worse! :-d
I'd buy a new strap if it were me. ;-)
A good fix, if you don't mind it looking, well, DIY.

 

Function beats out form on this one, ugly fix, but if it works, what can I say. Not sure if this holds true with resin band, but in metallurgy world, welds are often stronger than the metal itself. Hope it holds, advise over time, I'm curious.

 

survival trick, good

 

If I were another Casio resin band, and looked at that, I'd stay well clear, it would frighten the bejesus out of me! LOL

 

that looks ugly.. better get a new band an replace!

 

I bet your strap repair brings ALL the girls to the yard.....I would have been tempted to purchase strap adapters from JayandKay, and put the watch on a NATO.

 

Yeh, I think I'm gonna get the CL-2 set eventually, when I see them cheap enough (inc. delivery, someone at customs I feel has made a beeline for me but I'm working on balancing that back out at present), and dye it a bit darker or go green. the double tangs and sort of tyre tread look of the strap I think will look pretty cool on this watch.

 

This is potentially a truly inspired solution to a very common problem which many of us have encountered, I can't believe I've never thought of trying it; very curious to see how it holds up over time.

 

Cheers, man, SO far so good about a week in.

 

Sure beats the heck out of anything I could come up with. If mine had started to go West in a similar fashion I'd probably have just stood there with my mouth hanging open.

 

Haha

 

Good gods alive man, that is one ugly fix. Just get another band or stick a NATO on it.

Some repairs are not worth pursuing. I have a mental picture of you in glasses with a bit of plaster round the broken frame.

And what exactly is wrong with that??

 

It's ugly but function over form. Besides, it's on an area of the strap that isn't exposed all the time so it's probably hard to notice. I've thought about doing something like this before but I also know that it's something that would bother me so I'd get a new strap right away.

 

Oh totally, and it's a sweet little watch actually looks really slick on the wrist I'm just particular when it comes to colour scheme and the beefier straps make it look a bit cooler imo.
