Noob seeks watchband: Casio DB-E30D-1AV

[l***@gmail.com]

Just purchased this and was disappointed to see it is short by 4 band links to fit my adult wrist.
The seller claims helplessness and Casio is ignoring my emails. I suppose I could buy another DB-E30D-1AV and scrap it for band parts; a replacement band costs more than a complete watch! My local watch repair guy says the band parts are all unobtainable and there are no compatible watchband available.

I don't want to reward Casio for allowing their retailers to advertise this child's timepiece as a "man's watch". I don't want to return the watch because I like it's features.

Your thoughts please?

Thanks!

Here's how I solved this:

I bought two after - market watch bands (Hadley Roma MB7146W) and some 16 mm tie bars.
I spliced the bands together to extend to the proper length. After removing the plastic adapters from the watch, I attached the extended band to the watch for a perfect fit.

After spending far too much time and money solving this problem, I have my watch at last, without giving the thieves at Casio one additional penny.

Life is Good.
