#10370830 Genuine Factory Replacement Band for G Shock Watch Model GW3000M-4AV (Orange)

Bought this for my Casio CW3000B-1A aviation watch that came with a black band. The watch face is black with orange numerals, so this orange band looks perfect, and in fact Casio does put an orange band on the similar GA1000-4A watch, which is also a cool watch. The band is easy to swap out, but you will need 2 micro screwdrivers... if you only have one it won't be easy since the threaded rod will just spin unless you get it from both ends. When you get tired of the orange, you can swap back to the black band to change it up. If you are like most people, change is good, and with this band it is like having 2 watches in your collection.

Cheap paint job over a black band. The paint is wearing off after light office use. Now looks dirty because all the black is showing through. Never would have bothered for the price

Let me start by saying that I am very happy with the purchase. The strap is as advertised, an original Casio strap that fits perfectly on my G-Shock GW-2000. It looks and feels like the original strap that came with my watch. The fit and finish is excellent and I am glad that I can now wear my G-Shock again. That being said there are some pitfalls when it comes to replacing your old straps.The first hurdle and probably the biggest one is to take off the old straps. Each strap is fixed to the watch using a screw and a mating hollow threaded rod fastener. The screw and the threaded rod have a slot for a flat head screwdriver. However, the flat head screwdriver slots are deceptively narrow. Try out your screwdrivers to find a pair that will work. You will require two of them so that once can act as an anchor while the other one unfastens the screw. You may also need a desk clamp or another pair of hands. The watch needs to be anchored somehow so that both your hands are free to operate the screwdrivers. I managed to do it without a clamp but it was very frustrating.Once you remove the screw from the threaded rod, the rod needs to be pushed out of the hole to separate the strap from the watch. Here I advise against the use of some sort of tool to poke at the threaded hole to push the rod out. This may damage the delicate threads inside the hollow rod. I instead used the screw itself to push the rod out. Take out the screw completely so that you get an idea of how long it is. Screw half of it back in. Then gently push the screw which will push the rod out enough for you to grasp it later on and pull it out.The old straps contain metal brackets that are nicely hidden inside of the strap cavity. You will see this once you take it apart. The new straps do not come with these metal brackets and as such you will need to transfer them across.Finally, when attaching the new straps be careful when pushing the threaded rods back in. There is a lot of friction to overcome here and as such the rod may bend if for example - hammered in. Try to push them in with your thumbs first. If that does not work use a hard surface like a kitchen counter to push the threaded rod against, all the while keeping the watch body as steady as possible. Keep the rod vertical/perpendicular against whatever hard surface you use to push it in.That’s all. I hope you enjoy your G-Shock as much as I am :)

The band arrived, true to description and color, and it fit my G-shock atomic solar watch. The only downside was that it did not come with instructions. What I thought would be an easy swap with the black band it came with took almost an hour before I finally figured out how to do it.On each band piece, there is a flathead screw on each side of the watch. I had to place the watch face up on the edge of my bed (mattress), so I could lean against it while I inserted two small flathead screwdrivers on each side (one to hold tight, the other to unscrew).What is tricky is that although each end of the screwheads look identical, one, in fact, is a long "female" pin, while the other end is a male screw that is short and screws in to the very end of the long female pin. Once you figure out which end is the male, simply unscrew it until it comes out. Then, you have to insert something small enough into the band hole where you removed the male screw to push the pin out the opposite side. Once you push it far enough to get a grip, you can pull the pin out with your fingers or pliers.And it's that simple! Once I got the band replaced, I loved the look!

Very good product

I got in an accident, paramedics cut my watch off. Looked all over the Internet, even Casio Web site. Found this listed as direct replacement for my watch. The color is the same but the end that attaches to the watch itself is way too big. Worthless

I Love the color. Install was a lil tricky but figured it out. The screws are bit hard to get in strap hole. I have the gw-4000 black with orange. LOOKS GREAT !

The orange will discolor over the course of a year. This is my second one and its starting to do this again.
