  1. The consensus on the latest Sea Dweller (January of this year) is that its a good platform for mods. There are two threads here discussing it in depth.
  2. The brown dial Patek is a brave choice. It seems almost no one likes that color. I remember last year, WBK was selling it for $60 just to get rid of his stock.
  3. Beautiful! But you never got around to putting the fish-themed strap on the Colour Dreams?
  4. As far as I am aware, the gen 127 is blue, but the gen 217 is not.
  5. Since people are asking about MBW, MBK and stuff, I'll say it again: MBW (Maria's Best Watch) is the name of a dealer which hasn't existed in years. There is no "new MBW" .. Maria was the first dealer to discover the reps which bear his name, much like we call the Planet Ocean replica that dealer Narikaa discovered the "POrikaa". Interestingly enough, Narikaa also discovered the NoobFactory Submariner, but we don't call that the NoobMarikaa. I don't know what Maria looked like, but since that is a very German name, let's use a photo of the average German guy: MBK (The Mall of Everything) is the abbreviated name of the shopping mall in Bangkok where you can buy the watches people call "MBW" and "MBK". The two names mean the same thing. This is a picture of it: NahPiek is the name of the store in the MBK shopping mall which deals with the factory that produces the MBK replicas. The man (Pee Chai) in NaPiek who sourced the reps from the factory died last year, and I suppose his siblings are trying to fill his shoes currently. If you go there, they will only have junk on display. You have to convince them to show you the "good stuff." This is Nah Piek:
  6. In the USA, Airmail takes 2 weeks, EMS takes 5 days. It also depends on how long your dealer sits on your order. The numbers I give are for dealers who ship immediately, and don't tell little white lies
  7. The case back now has a ship instead of the word HUBLOT and the He Valve is in place instead of just a screw head.
  8. Your dial making experiments are really paying off! I can't wait to see what comes in the future.
  9. Ulysse Nardin White Diver today ...
  10. The measurements for this piece are *on* Yuki's HeV page. Just click Freddy's photo.
  11. Any of the trusted dealers here can get any watch. If you want me to pick a dealer for you, then look here http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16&zenid=751a9481bb28d3d02898fb159496756a
  12. If you're down South anyway, just send it to Vacuum in Florida. He's a trusted watch modder/technician He has his own area here on the Forum, so look him up.
  13. The bracelet film will unwind easily and the blue plastic crown protectant will come off with your fingernail.
  14. Good luck. I know we won't hear from you for weeks, now ... I forget if the hike from the nearest town to the first base camp is one week or two weeks.
  15. I noticed that TimesShop abruptly dropped their noobfactory special pricing after 2 years running. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
  16. Two reasons ... Newbs genuinely come in here and ask about a site they have been looking at, not knowing if it is legit. The other reason is this is how scammers trick people into visiting their web store. You can sometimes tell who is who.
  17. Although I let this go previously, the continued unwarranted verbal abuses by Carl make me now wonder aloud ... Is this man in trouble with a chemical dependency? There doesn't seem to be any other rational explanation for his baffling public emotional crisis. My thoughts go out to you, Carl. You can beat this, before it takes the people you love down into the gutter with you. Godspeed.
  18. I discovered Cape Cod for polishing plexi several months ago. Works fine for me.
  19. They seem to have made a mountain of money from Cartel (Noobfactory) DSSDs ...
  20. Watch Eden specializes in the lower end of the replica spectrum and is a trusted dealer. Try there if that is what you want.
