MDV-102/Duros/metal square

Having several black dial Casio divers, it’s hard to rotate through all of them often. A fellow redditor inspired me to make use of my black bezeled MTD-1079 by cannibalizing a watch I don’t often wear enough- the MTD-1082-4AVDF.

Inside the case, the module/dial and the multiple led lights work separately- one on top of one another. They are individually powered by their own battery bc the light on these are ridiculously bright.

These divers are proportioned more like a heftier MDV-106, yet illuminate like an MDV-102.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a red dial diver style Casio outside of the black finished cased of the MTD-1082.

For me, the color and the stainless steel is a welcomed combination.

So I had some left over parts from the last swap and a loose mdv-106 dial lying around…

Although its resistance is probably downgraded to 100m bc of the case/crown- the result is a super illuminated marlin!

It’s a snug fit, the stems/crown had to be adjusted and the red seconds hand is stolen from a mrw-400. I apologized to anyone who knows how the LEDs are placed, because they know what kind of abuse that dial took lol.
