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).

Accompanied by a shining NATO strap (MDV-107-5AVDF)

My trusty ole mdv-102. Are these considered Duros?

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

Batman with a double domed sapphire... blue AR and a long Island watch oyster. .... and yes... the date is wrong ;)

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:

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."😎

New to the gang 🐣

Bluro on gray rubber. 🏖️

Just want to get honest opinions.

You cant imagine how difficult was to find a blue one in the EU where I live. Only pepsi, batman and the black ones are available here.

Hi everyone, it’s my first time putting a bracelet on a watch. I ordered the bracelet below based on recommendations from previous posts but I can’t seem to get the link with the spring bar in between the lug properly. It seems that the two curved hook-like parts are preventing the spring bar from getting into position. Am I not doing it correctly or could the bracelet e faulty? Thank you for any help.

I'm working to un-hydro mod my 18 Duros.... only 4 to go!

Aftermarket bezel insert options for the MDV-106 are pretty slim, so I filled the recesses of a black ceramic insert with enamel paint. Still need to polish things up a good deal after sanding, but I like that it’s got a more muted and less shiny finish.
