- Casio Duro Super Illuminator mdv-102 - This is the predecessor to the current Casio Duro. Very rare to find one in descent condition nowadays, but this is a very unique watch with the LED lights that make the dial glow. Check out my review of this amazing quartz diver.

I just pulled mine out of a bag. I wore through basic at Paris Island when I joined the Marine corps in the 2007. It was actually a gift from my dad. It’s pretty beat up around the bezel and the glass has some scratches. I’m glad to see this video. It needs a battery and I haven’t worn it in almost 15 years. So, this has inspired me to bring it back to life.
Shit…when I went through basic in San Diego back in 1990 we got to wear no watch!! I’d cherish that Casio, Devil Dog!!
Just got one of these yesterday. Was extremely fortunate to find one on Facebook marketplace. Bought 3 dead Casio watches of which one was a Casio Duro MDV-102 for a total of $15. Put new batteries in, cleaned them up and they all are running nice. Bezel had has a few small scratches as does the crystal, but barely noticeable. Band is in good shape. I'm really liking it. As in the previous post, the illumination is sweet! Enjoyed your video breakdown of this watch.
Nice find...very hard to find! And thank you for the kind words!
Found one in a pawn shop, mint condition, had a dead original battery, which has been replaced, works great.
Great find, treasure hunter!!
I’ll say that’s a lot more fun than the current Marlin iteration.
I’ve never seen this model Duro before! I have 2 x “modern” Duros that I have modded up with sapphire crystals and stainless steel bracelets, milled clasps etc, and this one you have has me very interested ! I love the way the strap is connected to the case. And the illumination is brilliant!
I am glad to have shown this to you, Mike. It's a pretty cool watch, and the really rare ones are the white dial ones!!!
I still have this watch. I purchased it after I had watch the movie Sanctum.. back in 2012 i showered with on and even in the sauna back in the day. These days . Water touches it when I’m washing my hands. One of my favorite go to watch. The last 10min a of the movie shows it being used
Now I have to watch Sanctum!!
I've just bought one from Korea (im GB) , legendary watch Im hoping, Isnagged it for about 200 bucks its in fantastic condition. Ive been hunting for a while.
Nice!! So hard to find in nice condition. Fun piece 👍👍
It's absolutely insane how premium it looks.
I'm not surprised it got discontinued, since it probably cost Casio more to make this one, when compared to the current MDV-106 watch.
100%!
I have an original MDV-102D-7AV (3304) which is the one with the white dial and stainless bracelet. I've had it for 17-18 years and it's still in perfect working order and I wear it regularly. It's in great condition and the only thing I've ever nedded to do with it is change the battery. It's still as good as the day I got it, love that watch. 👌
Those are HARD to find. Very nice!!
I've had one of these babies for 10 or so years.. still looks almost mint.. I always thought it was too big for me but it is brilliant! My original strap is still great too.. Thanks for covering it!

You are welcome! How often do you swap out the batteries?
Thanks! My battery seems to last me 3 to 5 years.. but, I really don't use the light all that often even though I want to use it all the time!! Best to you!

Hermoso ,desde Montevideo Uruguay ,salud . Tengo el MDV- 700 y el MDV- 103 .Casio es siempre Casio .6-3-2024 .
Very nice, you are very lucky to own those! 👍
I have that same NATO on a Casio MTD-1053 dive watch. Really great watch and strap.
Great taste my friend! 👍
Had one of these as a work watch, it got destroyed because of my job , it did take a hell of a beating tho, casio really should bring it back
I second that! Maybe with a solar cell for the illuminator light too! Hell of a watch
Youve highlighted the flaws on this watch very early! I don't think I would go out of my way and spend extra money on something like this no matter how good it looks!
Maybe I saved you some $$ 👍
My brother in Christ he's doing a review, not selling you the watch
My brother has one from way back then :)
Very cool! How did the battery hold up for him?
@@threehandhunter Didn't hear him complain about it, so I guess it's acceptable 😊 I have been looking for one, but like you said, they are not easily attainable, unfortunately. It would be great if Casio could rehash this model.
Yeah those swooping lines around the case and strap are very early 2000's
I don't understand Casio's choice of calling illuminator to both their LED and Electroluminescence technology
Very early 2000's! I definitely don't understand Casio, or Seiko (or Orient) for that matter haha
Good review, yes Chris best you to the draw on this one bud. You may need to work on your Macro shots a little. I enjoyed it though.
Thanks, John. I appreciate the feedback. I really have zero camera skills, this has been my first time with a camera. But, I am working on it! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
My local watchseller have this one for sale almost 10 years now. The price is $170. It's self explanatory. I mean you can't expect the price to be same in 10 years. But many watchsalers in my country think the opposite way.
Whoa! Where are you located?
@@threehandhunter in Istanbul. If you want to buy it, I can send you the watch. Where are you located?
@@threehandhunter I have one. With ov strap, still works great
it's worth it
@@StarBuilder222merhabalar istanbulda hangi saatcide bulabilirim
👍
Thanks man!
MTD 105 is the current version, no?
MVD-106 I believe, that is the Duro anyways.
@@threehandhunter Of the Duro, yes. But not of that watch.
What brand is the NATO?
That is a watchgecko or gekota!
How much is it worth now (used condition)
Maybe $125-$150
Anyone know the size of the band ?
21mm
on eBay for £1500.00 really ??
That's silly, for real!
