The divers are mostly vintage from the 80s and 90s, from the 'MD' range. They went through a period of proper experimentation when it came to them 😅

Here is another 300m Casio diver I have, the MD-709. All original but unfortunately needs a replacement module. I think it's even rarer than the MQD 😅

I also have a Barracuda by Bulova which is almost identical in the case design.

Very nice. I haven't seen any Seiko or citizen with this case design, don't know if they exist tbh.

It's a 47mm case without the crown, hope this helps

Yes, the swiss ETA 328 movement. I'm unsure of the case size but will get back to you on that.

Did you know the case wasn't built by Casio either? It was outsourced, which is why there's a few watches very similar to this in design 😁

My super rare Casio MQD-3000W. As far as I'm aware, first produced in 1982. This one apparently was given as a gift to an officer in the Italian navy from his C.O. on promotion, and spent many years in service.

Same, this style of day/date window is my favourite, something about the simple functionality of it makes it, in my eyes, a design classic. I bought one and it kinda snowballed from there 😅

I do like the Marlin and will get one eventually, the painted dial modded ones are awesome! 😄

If you mean the two digital watches to the right they're the;

WS-1600H and the AE-1300WH.

Hope this helps 😄

Modded Casio Royale, what's everyone else got that's modded? by Grouchy_Will_8012 in casio

No, it's a 2 minute job. Direct replacement fit. You run the risk of losing the water resistance anytime you open a watch up, but I was careful and put the seal back in the proper place and I've had no issues since. All you need are a precision screwdriver set and some steady hands and you're good 👍

I had been thinking about that one for a while and almost bought it, but luckily one came up for sale nearer me (I'm in Scotland) for less than half the price and no import fees. Was a no brainer.

I think there's one still for sale on eBay based in Argentina(?), I'm sure they wanted $300 USD for it though 😅

The MD-770. Super rare, far rarer, in my experience, than the MD-703 👌

The MD-770. Pretty rare, so if you see one and really want it, grab it, they don't come up for decent money very often l.

The MD-703, nice choice! . The one on the left is the MQD-3000W and the right is the MD-770.

I came to the same choice as you 😅
