Try parsecent.com they can get the part or a substitute part, the keeper is not sold separately tho, you would have to buy a complete band...good luck :)

Replacing the spring pin is not a problem, however for the band to look as it did originally, the end piece, or end tab - which is now missing, must be replaced. These parts are generally proprietary. You can order one from your local Certified Master Horologist.
You may also consider contacting Luminox. Sometimes, the manufacturers run out of these parts and the whole band must be ordered because that is all that is available.
mcdevito75 here, I hope you have a warantee with the watch, even if you don"t contact Luminox watch with this problem, Hold onto that broken piece off the watch. Problem is the case is 1 solid piece, the watch company will want to see the broken case and piece offf the watch, hopefully they might figire a defect in the case cause the piece to break off and replace the case for you for FREE, I doubt it BUT, you never know.
You can buy any rubber watch strap and take the loop off for replacement. Just make sure - the strap you buy is exactly the same width as the original ******** your watch. Needless to say: colour should match as well. Rate me, plz.
This is a common problem with all watches with rubber or leather straps, not just with Ironman. In fact, there isn't anything our experts can do, as the responsibility is entirely on watch band producers. We just can hope that when the nano technologies will develop to the higher level, there will be a possibility to produce brand new materials yet unknown to human. These materials will have no wear and tear at all and everyone will be happy with forever lasting bands, shoes, e.t.c. For a while we can only wait. By the way - if you will buy Casio, it will make no difference, as all watch straps are made by using same technologies and chemical formulae. One of my friends went very upset for the same reason as you, so, I did find a solution for him using piece of scrapped copper pipe. This is how you do that: Measure that small loop of your watch band and find or buy the piece of copper pipe of same size. Cut off 1cm piece of the pipe and file off any imperfections, then polish it if needed. Get an old leather belt, fold it into half and put the copper ring in between, then flatten it with hammer. Do it step by step, always checking that there is enough space for band and band end to go through the newly formed copper loop. When flattened enough, spray the loop with band matching paint and leave to dry. Respray if necessary. Now you are done and this loop will last very long time.

I had exactly the same problem with exactly the same model watch, and it happened to me twice. The AQ-160 is the important part of the model number as far as replacement parts are concerned. The first time, I took it to the shop where I bought the watch, and they replaced the band, but it cost me $50. The second time, I looked up the Web for the master agent for Casio in Australia, and they said I could buy the end piece, not the whole band, for $6. I found I could replace it quite easily myself by using a drawing pin to remove the spring pin that holds it together. A bit fiddly to reassemble but not too bad. In fact, I didn't wait for the new part to arrive, just used the unbroken end of the old band. So now I have a repaired band plus the old band and a new end piece, in case it ever happens again.
I really like this watch, but it is a pity the bands are so weak.
that part is called a Keeper and not easily available ...the company that manufactures the bands does not sell it separately so you would have to buy the complete band to get it...or you could try to find somewhere that would sell you a clean used one...good luck
