According to the www.pacparts.com website, the MDV-102D models came with a stainless steel bracelet, which I just verified by Googling "MDV 102 D" and looking at some of the images.

PacParts also has the stock bracelets (or at least, a Casio replacement) for sale -- here's the parts lists for the MDV-102D-1AV: Casio MDV102D-1AV Parts and Accessories

Just go to their main site, "search by model number" and that will bring up the five MDV-102's they have listed. It looks like the last three (1AV, 2AV and 7AV) are the black, blue, and white dial versions with the bracelet instead of rubber strap: https://www.watchuseek.com/attachme.../attachments/f71/1071381d1367632164-finally-got-mdv102-2005-10-13-release2-.jpg

 

Thanks -

Yeah, I knew the MDV models came with a metal band also from Casio also, but it looks like they changed the band design when they updated to them from the older MTD style - again why I was trying to find a band similar to the MTD style, rather than just buying the newer MDV style I didn't care for as much.

Thanks for the help either way, apperciate it. I still perfer the MTD or the more "Submariner" classic style band to this other version though. If I can find a non-Casio one that will work, I'd be happy with that also.

Thanks!

 

The problem with the MDV102 is that it has a 21mm lug width, and I'm assuming the 1010 is probably 22mm

 

I don't know about the 1010, but I just measured MDV (the one w/ the rubber strap) w/ my digital caliper, and it's definitely a 21mm.


Funny thing is the metal band off of the MTD DOES fit on my MDV, it's just the older band off of my MTD is worn now and I need to add a link to it - again, why I am looking for a newer one for it.

Thanks -

 

I've got the same 1010 and it's a 20mm lug. I've got a couple extra links though if you want them. I used to wear this bracelet very loose so they're worn, but I don't need them.

 

Got a pin to go with them to link them together?

Thanks!

 

Sorry, nope - pins fell apart when I took them out.

 

Hmmmm...........well thanks anyway, I'm going to need at least one pin to make it work.

Thanks though, I appreciate it.

 

This is the first time I've seen someone turn down free links because they don't come with free link pins, but there's a first time for everything, right? Good luck in your search. I like that MDV, great gift for Dad.

 

Well I didn't mean to sound ungrateful, hence why I said "thanks, I apprecaite it though" but how would I make it work w/o a pin for the additional link to hook it to my old band?

(NOT a "pin" to hook it to the case it's self)

?????

 

Haha - no, I didn't take it like that. What I mean is, can't you get cotter pins at any mall watch kiosk? Or online?

 

I didn't think they were a "generic" or a universal fit thing (or even available like that???)?? I thought the pins for this band were something unique to it (or normally are with any other band?)?

If not I did not know that, and then YES, I CAN use them and will just try and find a link pin to work?

LMK, thanks -

 

AFAIK they (link cotter pins) are fairly universal, with a standard diameter and various lengths depending upon bracelet width. When it comes to link screws, however, all bets are off.

 

These are pins in this band for sure, so if the offer stands I'm willing to try them.

What would you like for the links then? PLMK, thanks -

 

PM me a shipping address and I'll drop them in the mail.

 

Sweet, thanks!

 

Finally got these into the mail today. Sorry for the delay. Been swamped.

 

That's OK, it's appreciated regardless!

Thanks again!

 

Got the links today and found a watch repair shop w/ pins for them, now I'm set!

Thanks again for the help!

Hi esg2145,

Found your thread too late, I hope you like the metal bracelet on the MTD now?

I happen to have the same Casio MTD-1010 in Navy Blue and I had the metal bracelet on it for around 11 years. It became worn and the links were overlapping a bit and loose.

So, recently I switched out the SS bracelet for a more summer look here:

It's the MTD on Navy blue and grey striped Nato strap. I think it's a good look for the summer and also an homage to the Bond look.

Let me know what you think and hope this gives you another idea for future ways to wear this watch!

P.S. I can relate to how you feel about it, as the sentimental value of mine also exceeds its current price.

It looks great for 11! Here's mine, it's about 13:

 

Seems like pretty good condition for 13! Is it a daily watch for you?

Also noticed the marks on your bezel - I seem to have the same problem with mine. The bezel blue material seems softer than anything else on the watch and prone to nicks and scratches. Really wish they used another material - ceramic would be asking too much for the price of the watch, but at least a harder material for the bezel.

Nonetheless, I love this watch and good to see you've kept yours for so long!

 

It was a daily wearer for about 5 years. The bezel has taken quite a beating, it's faded now compared to the brilliant blue dial. This was my first "real" (not plastic) watch and it is really amazing for the price. I think I'll take your cue and put it on a Zulu for the summer.

 

Cool! If you get a chance, post up some photos when you get it on the new strap. I'm curious to see what other color/strap combos work well for this watch.

 

daschlag, did you end up putting on a Zulu for the summer?

I recently bought a polished oyster which I put on the MTD 1010.

Here are the pics:

Let me know what you all think!
