  1. Very nice. Look into a Yuki insert/pearl possible. Even sourcing a gen lumi insert might be an option, as that is what you would get from a servicing. Question, how well did the Clark fit on the MBW case? Also, there are various MBW cases, do you remember the SN:? Looking good.
  2. :wub: I have no words.... Can't wait to see the finished product. The key-lining, font and overall alignment is perfect IMHO.

    MBW 5513

    The pictures above are pretty accurate for the color (at least on my monitor). Actually, in certain light, my lume appears more "peach" color, or more flesh tone. I think Ubi may have re-dyed it to be honest. Hopefully he will chime in here. I know he dyed the hands to match successfully. I will post a better macro of the dial a little later.
  4. If this were so rare, why the "Buy It Now"....
  5. Tease is right! A big THANK YOU for bringing these awesome dials to us modders!
  6. Sounds reasonable and logical. Only caveat, is some buyers like to fly under the radar and not 'advertise' their participation in the rep trade... Just a thought... Saving grace is according to your last post, you guys delete them after 90 days. Comes back to buy the seller, not the watch.

    MBW 5513

    What I would do is spend time at the "Vintage Rolex Forums - Dial Archive". Compare Yuki, NDT, etc against the look you want. Also, if you find a dial at any of the mentioned sources EMAIL them and confirm their pictures are WYSIWIG. I recently bought a 1665 dial that was not what was pictured, but actually BETTER, but that was a fluke. Price wise I would gamble with Yuki, unless the NDT really rings your bell. Mine went from the MBW dial to Ubi's NDT dial. I would could have lived with the MBW dial - BUT even though Rolex made "R O LEX" spaced dials I did not care for the MBW spacing in matching that. Tritium ages to yellow/brown hues, so also think about if you want a aged beater look, or a well cared for possible serviced looking vintage. For your inspiration:

  9. Thanks for the link! Nice Homage. Nice case, and bracelet. The dials on the other hand... so-so imho.... Also doing the math, this costs $545, you are looking at roughly $955 savings over something like the GEN Doxa 1000T ($1490). While $1000 is nothing to sneeze at, I say "save up" and buy a real Doxa. You won't be dissapointed....
  10. Working from home and wearing this very comfortable 6263:
  11. The 1st rule of Rep Club, is you do not talk about Rep Club (with ADs) The 2nd rule of Rep Club, is you do NOT talk about Rep Club (with ADs)
  12. Excellent post guys! I just recently acquired a 6263 with the two above issues. The Freddy333's fix is magic. As far as the chrono stoppage. EXACT same thing. So to clarify: loosen the caseback some? Is this some type of impingement from an 'overtightened' case? Curious as to the mechanics here. The things you learn here @ RWG.
  13. My father and I both own these. Honestly, we've had good luck with them. He has worn his daily for about 3 years now with no issues. Mine is used as a beater, and has taken much abuse as well... I have been planning on trying to use the movement in franken Rolex projects since it beats at 19.8 and size wise looks like it might work. This was also the watch worn in "Life Aquatic"

  15. Talk to me, please! I was just about to have my MBW Case drilled for a working a HEV and lugs. I will buy you lunch If I can make this mid-case work, I will pay-it-forward with my MBW mid-case.
