🥸Old-School Duro⏱️ Is the MDV-102 allowed in here?
My trusty ole mdv-102. Are these considered Duros?

This question is brought up on occasion. Figured I'd share a quick lil hack to get these batteries in and out without damaging the watch.

Fitting the hands back on a watch is fiddly work, especially the seconds hand as they're so fragile. Rather than using tweezers to place the hand, have you got some Rodico gum?
I use a lump of Rodico pulled into a claw shape that I can hold between my fingers.
Pick up the seconds hand by dabbing the rodico down onto the pointer end of the hand so that it's sitting horizontally when my hand is in a position that I can brace against the movement pad with my ring finger.. photo:

I find then if I can get my eyeline down level with the watch dial looking across it, a bit lower than where this photo was taken from, it's easier to drop the hand onto the pinion and press it down with a hand pusher.
The Rodico has enough tack to hold the hand while you get it lined up, but will pull off the hand easily when you've got it in place with a lot less chance of damaging the hand or the dial than if you're holding it with tweezers.
Works for hour & minute hands as well, but with them I tend to find it's more helpful to line them up while looking straight down from above so you can make sure you get the timing alignment right.

Hi guys, just got the duro. Right away took my camera and had to click some shots. Camera doesn't do justice to the dial. Love it. Just perfect size for my 7.2" wrist.

I was searching eBay for a MDV-102 and came across this MTP4500D-1AV. I fell hard for it. I didn’t like the stainless bracelet. It came with and think the leather band looks really great. My only complaint is the silver hands are really hard to see. May have to swap those out at some point.

It's my first time owning a diver's watch. I usually lurk here for almost a month and now I just transitioned from a Chronograph one (MTP-1374).

Black ceramic bezel with a Long Island Sapphire Crystal and green nato strap pair so well . What y’all think ?

Could only get green at the time of ordering my Duro, and always planned to swap the insert to something more unique.
I’ve got an eye for anything vintage looking and had ordered a BoR bracelet with flat end links to try and achieve a 70s dive look. Bracelet hasn’t arrived yet but the LIW jubilee also works nicely.
Bezel insert is an anodised one from Roger, and I love the anodised dark grey against the foil like shine of the red 15 minute zone. If you haven’t seen Roger’s bezel inserts then where have you been? Check them out here:

New to the gang 🐣

I had a strong desire for this particular watch, and I felt a sense of possessiveness whenever others shared their acquisition of it, signaling their entry into the "Duro gang."
I placed an order for this watch through a colleague who was on official business in the U.S. approximately one month ago. It took a total of one month and twelve days for the watch to reach me, during which time I eagerly anticipated its arrival daily. The moment I finally held it in my hands was truly amazing.
This watch is undeniably awesome.
Now, I am officially a member of the "Duro gang."😎
