The mdv-106 is a really solid watch. It's got polished sides and bezel. A little too blingy-looking so I brushed the sides.
I've got the silver and the black models both.
The dials both have a nice sunburst effect.

i really like what you did (brushing )
i heard really good things about the mdv-106 quality wise, i'm just not 100% sure about the dial, i love the sunburst, the hands are decent, and the indices doesnt look in proportion...
But i have considered buying it several times all-ready...

It took me a minute to see the bezel difference you were referring to - My eye was drawn (in comparing the 106 to the 1061) to the markings on the bezels - which (to me) looks identical.

Have you considered this one?

i guess you are right, i'm probably being really picky, the bezel insert seems to be the same, but not the bezel, i don't know why i prefer the mdv-106 shape so much more

i think my point is, i am looking for a watch that can be dressed up a little
and i think the mdv-106 can be dressed up alot easyer the the mdv-1061... and i think it has to do whit the bezel edges
but i like the dial of the mdv-1061 alot more

that eddifice looks really good, but i'm not a fan of the bezel (again ) ... god i'm a hard man to please

Are those watches quartz?

 

They are all quartz watches.
The 106 is easy to dress up maybe with a leather strap or by keeping the polished sides. I brushed mine by taping off bezel insert and crystal, then just trying to maintain long smooth strokes with a scotch-brite pad.
My only quarrel with it is the low lume.
But I get plenty of people "eyeing" my black 106, it's a very impressive looking piece.

 

I have the MDV-106. Some people really, really dislike the stock bracelet. I don't mind it. But I guess it can be changed out for a nice Presidential or Oyster type.

 

Brown leather on black dial, looking pretty good. Gotta see the silver dial on leather now. The bracelets were pretty durn rattley for me, but it looked good.

 

Also see MDV-101D; but the case size is smaller at 40mm I believe (please correct me if I am wrong here)

 

I really like the 1061 - to me the markers look a bit more dressy. Plus, it would be something different from the normal 106.

 

I really can't speak of any of the watches you have listed but I will say that my Casio MDV-102 is one of my favorite watches.
It's also my cheapest watch!

I highly recommend picking one up if you can find one. Its good looks coupled with an LED light function make for a pretty unique and desirable watch.

*edit... my bad, looks like I might be preaching to the choir here. I don't hang out too much in this area so much so I wasn't aware that the MDV102 isn't much of a secret gem to the folks of f71.

 

I say save your money. If yoy buy a used skx 007 and have he mod done, I think the watch can be done in the sub $300 range.

Mine has a sapphire crystal with ar, black day/date wheel and skx171 and samurai to hands. All in all I spend about $300.

I say wait a little bit, save up, and get the 007.

They are cheaper at this site because the Yen is getting weaker.
