This reminds me I need to wear my MBW version ;-)

Well the "burnt blue" dial is very nice on the MBK but not quite up to par with the gen that's darker/greyer :

MBW :

As far as the black dial goes it was used on the 3700/1G all 18k White Gold only available in 2004 and 2005 so excessively rare.

And yes I think the MBK Nautilus is long gone (MBW actually and I read somewhere the founder was dead), only available from other forum members now.

I didnt see him do it, but the movment sits loose in the case when the upper part is removed. I dont think the movement matches the dial size, so i suppose if you pull the stem all the way out, you can flip it over. Thats what he said anyway.

Sorry for bringing this back up from the dead, but it's the first time I see an explanation on how to access the movement on the MBW Nautilus! It would have been easier to put a split stem it seems. I wonder how the dial hold on the movement as it can't be tightened with screws obviously. Think I'll have to take a peek at mine to confirm it's an ETA and to see which one it is.

So did anyone ever come up with a list of all the MBW Nautilus reps? I see : blue face connected, black face unconnected and back face roman?

Apparently one of the MBW founder has passed on so maybe these reps are no longer being made?

Catching up with some Nautilus threads. Nice work! Where did you get the deployant? I'm guessing it came with the 1:1 and was not a problem to fit to the composite strap?

Fromwhat I understand there is now the "1:1" nautilus with correct date wheel position and font... If you look really closely at the movement you can see "SW-200" though, pretty sure no one will believe you have a patek with a selita movement in it. It looks like it's smaller than the old Nautilus as well.

I've never seen either of them though, so i might be making all of this up. Anyone seen them side to side?

Thanks, sorry didn't get notified of your answer. That 1:1 looks pretty good indeed, except of course for the movement being apparent. Might try to get one to compare to the MBK, too bad there isn't a version with a cheaper Asian movement.

Were you able to fix your problem in the end?

I'm currently looking into accessing the movement of my MBK Nautilus to regulate it. I'm wondering if it's the type of stem that you need to pull hard to remove? Can't really think of a way to do it if not...

Bump for a great review!

Sill enjoy my MBK, but I still find the dial a bit too "green" in the center, the gen is not like that at all, more grey/blue. Would also like to know how to access the movement to regulate the movement a bit, mine is running about -13 seconds per day.

Bump for a super rep! Have their been any new Nautilus reps since that have upped the ante?

Thanks for the link, that blue diver is very nice indeed ! Too many watches not enough money...

So has anyone gotten a gen tag since last year? I must admit I haven't...I saw a NOS orange dialed Autavia but it was too expensice,

Still waiting for proper pics taken but mines now has a better movement with low cannon pin and the seconds hand removed. All credit goes to ubiquitous and The Zigmeister. All I did was finance the operation.

Good to hear about your progress. More or less in the same boat with a Lemania/Seagull on a second hand fantasy Patek skeleton I received on Tuesday. It loses about 30 seconds a day and I noticed it had stopped last night. I must have started the chrono by accident. The crown is well attached but there must be something wrong with it because I can't wind it properly, it makes a clicking sound as if tow cogs weren't properly aligned. Getting more and more disappointed in second hand purchases, on the other hand QC is not the forte of rep watches when they are fresh from the factory so it's a bit naive to think they're still running fine after a year, whether they've been worn a lot or not...

I take it starting or stopping the chrono doesn't change its behavior ?

Looks you got sold a non-working watch and the description didn't mention that "pulled-out crown" problem, shoulnd't you send it back and let the seller fix it before he sells it again?

Around 3 weeks ago i have bought one GMT 2 ETA from PT.

The watch is flameless, superb rep.

I have a friend that is the sales representative for ETA company in Italy, he has checked my watch (in the LAB) also check the water resistant grade and swear that is a genuine ETA swiss made.

Not because i have asked to check the watch, because i completely trust PT, but just because he wants one for him and asked to me.

More than this i cant say.

bye

R.

Yes they're nice people, I don't think they do much/any QC before your order gets shipped (had to send back the 4 watches they sent me for various reasons) but they did their best to fix the problem, short of refunding the cost of shipping the watches back though !

Just noticed Eurotimez now had a "burnt blue" version with the dots on the dial. They also have a "dark blue" version. I'm still pretty happy with my burnt blue/sticks but am not such a big of the dial anymore, too green really.

They also have one on a croc strap http://www.eurotimez88.com/product_info.ph...Dpath=0&osC but the pics are down.

Note that they charge $40 to verify its a genuine ETA !

No problems here so far with the Long Island version I've had for 3+ months, other than the rotor making a racket !

Sounds good, do you have that link handy ?

Ah good, looking forward to your comments! Did you get it from Tony/Watcheden ?

Did you ever buy this box ?

Just got a second hand bracelet for my Tag Aquaracer rep and for the life of me I can't figure out how to attach it to the head. As described >> here on pmwf << I know you need to place the lower spring bar end into the lower lug hole, but when I do that I can't slide in the metal part on the upper part. Tried some spring bar bending but no go...

I was able to squeeze the lot in, but then I never manage to get the sping bar ends into the holes...

anyone got hints to get it in ?

Right ! Are there any known cases of that happening to anyone here ?

As for the
