GW1500-A replacement watch band

Our son’s grandfather had gifted him a Casio GW1500-A watch. Recently, the band broke at the pin site. We tried a band from an Amazon dealer. It did not work because the band couldn’t be pushed into the lugs far enough to engage the pins- due to the design- it did not exactly match the original. (FD it had been taken to a jeweler because the pins also needed replacing.)
Huge sentimental value- any suggestions?
Thank you!

I know, I know! You’ll be bored of my vintage G threads soon😂

After some of my recent finds and subsequent restorations, I’ve kind of decided to try and make a collection of “classic” vintage G’s other than 5xxx’s. I’ve had, and flipped, a number of different models over the years, but this time I’m picking particular ones and keeping them:).

This one is a DW-6100, gold edition. I had it on watch and got an offer last night, which seemed fair to me, totalling £60 and a few pennies. It was actually a dual watch lot, the other one…

The seller had it listed as not working after a new CTL was installed. It should just be a case of AC reset and then set the watch. It won’t need sun because the CTL batteries come fully charged.

Nothing else to say, apart from it was on a Buy it Now of £57, or Best Offer👍, he…

Wrong model refit

Hello everyone, been lurking for a bit in the forum, specially around Dw5600 mod threads, which finally pushed me to purchasing a metal conversion kit for my 5600BB. After a couple of weeks I finally got it, but to my horror, it doesn’t fit. It seems to me they sent a dw5000 or something else, it just doesn’t fit (will provide pictures). After discussing the matter with the seller, he just ended up accusing me of having a knockoff G-Shock and that’s why…
