I still wait for Casio to do Duro with solar, I would stupidly buy it

I'd love see an ana-digi Duro, with an appearance much like the old-school Casio Marine Gear.
@TopTierTicker Ай бұрын
A 40mm Duro with a solar movement would be great. But we'll probably get a 32mm Duro next with 30m 😂🙏

As far as I know, this model sold in some regions only, for some reason. On the other hand I'm pretty sure duro newer sold in my country officially, I only saw it thanks to KZfaq

I prefer the looks overall of the 1053, resemble to me the Orient mako 3, but the duro Design IS a Legend.
@TopTierTicker Ай бұрын
Yep, I definitely see some Orient influence. Is the Duro a design icon or is the submariner styling the iconic element? I think it could be argued both ways

Happy this watch finally gets the coverage it deserves. I have it for 3 years now, always on a nato. I use it as my sea watch, in fact it's the only watch from my collection that tests it's wr rating. As expected by casio it is bulletproof. I also like it more than the duro for it's size and for the design. Fun fact : back in the day this model was out as the casio mdv - 101. It had the marlin as the duro, so basically we see the brother of the known marlin duro here. Casio stoped using the marlin logo first with this watch and renamed it as mtd 1053d. The new generation of the duro also comes without the marlin.

Thanks for sharing such great knowledge with us my friend. it's cool to know where this model is positioned and it's origins. The Marlin's brother... Cool! Appreciate the viewership, stay well 🙏

The Duro is definitely a nicer watch and comes in more color options, as well as being cheaper. This Duro look-a-like is one of those watches where you think you'll like it because it has better sizing but in the end you regret making the purchase anyways. The Duro is great because it looks nice, has good WR, and is cheap. This watch, while still being cheap, is 3x the price (at least in my country) and looks cheaper than the Duro somehow.

Wat ever you say watch is just device showing time. It should be compact tidy trendy. Also with economical price affordable by middle class people. Not just high end. Behind me there are hundreds of people purchasing watch I am talking about. That would be the care taken by such high tech companies at this moment of time. Thank you for demo.

I'm sure we can let you off that 1mm Kieron, but only because it's you mate! I like this watch, it's definitely got better dimensions and the dial is much more interesting than the Duro in my opinion. I've got a Duro and I like it but if I'd seen the 1053 first I may well have got that instead. I might just get it anyway!! Cheers Kieron, great review as always 👍
@TopTierTicker Ай бұрын
Including the crown guards is boring anyway 😂 why did they have to make them so bloody long, the losers. I still think a proper 40mm Duro is needed, but this does the job in the meantime for the smaller wrists like mine 👌 Thanks Rik, hope all is well mate 🙏
@masudaharris6435 Ай бұрын
Thank you for bringing attention to the 1053. This may be what I was looking for, although I don't like the bracelet either. It actually looks better than the Duro, which has too much open space on the dial.

I enjoyed that, super informative. Good video. But not a watch for me 😉 I think I’m getting the Casio MRW 200h and mod the hell out of it: add a lume pip, enhance the lume on the hands and numerals and hydro fill it. Seems like a fun project.

If they do it again with MTD-130D inner bezel it would closer to JLC Polaris Mariner. As it has already something of a JLC Master Compressor Navy Seals and also Blancpain Fifty Fathoms style.

The real Duro is simply looking better. The bezel and the hands of the Casio MTD-1053D are a no go. The bezel does not only miss the markers it is also too big and makes the dial too small. The bracelet is okay for the price and can be replaced by another strap. I would not buy that watch. Although I have smaller wrists I love my Duro.
@TopTierTicker Ай бұрын
The hands and the bezel are actually my favourite part of this 1053. I also enjoy the dial to bezel ratio. I can appreciate why someone would still go with the Duro though. It's got that classic appeal

Love my Duro and while the size is fine for me it does feel a tad heavy. And I like the design of this. The bezel alignment is annoying.

If the bezel aligns well at the 12 o'clock it wouldn't really be an issue. But having to see that permanent misalignment is a reminder of the terrible amount of clicks 😂

Looks a bit cheap, likely because of that screaming blue color and huge numerals. Duro is better looking in my opinion. However, I cannot see myself adding any of these two to my collection, even being cheap as they are simply because they feel cheap too.
