  5. Mid-Week Wrist Check

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    No biggie, but when you start a wrist check, please name it more conservatively. Otherwise it goes unnoticed and then someone starts a duplicate thread (as always)... and I have to merge them (as always). :)

    I'm with my friend Step today, and wearing the magnificent ExpII right now.

    That's a nice collection! Nicely done. Except for the one stain on your grouping... the Snowflake.

    Please send it to me and I'll volunteer to remove the one blemish on your otherwise fine family.

    :tu:

    Sure Nanuq, we could trade bastard step children..... like that Bond Sub of yours ;)

    That is the collection I want !!! :D

    By the way what is the watch on the black nylon strap ? (the one with no marks)

    Hi DD,

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The sterile watch is a Marathon Navigator franken that was modifed by Bill Yao at MKII watches to resemble a Benrus Type II watch.

    Thanks for the input, its much appreciated, however, please note that my 1655 is ALL REP - not modified at all and not a franken as far as I know. This one came just as pictured and since then I have not found a similar example from any other rep vendor. I like the idea about changing the hands. Some folks have said that OMEGA Flightmaster hands will work for this, but will those hands fit an ETA which this rep has in it? Does anyone out there have any good photos of the MBW 1655 offered a while back? @togasa, your 1655 looks absolutely fantastic! I whish it were mine :wub:

    Cheers B)

    SC, the Omega hands will fit (my one bright idea I get every blue moon :D ) and they're cheap!!!! one of the hands will need broaching though. Click on the 1655 details link in my sig line for the run down.

    Your version is far better than the old MBK that was in short production. I can't find any pix of it but I think Namor had one FS not long ago. I think yours is a variation of the one I purchased from TTK that was a "supposed" MBK but with lug holes and later version dial with the T Swiss 25< T :thumbsupsmileyanim:. Sadly the case I used on my 1655 has faux lug holes that don't line up with the inner holes for the springbars.

    BTW, I think your lugholes could be drilled out and not look bad, see my photo below of my 1675 with the holes drilled out for gen springbars -the hole placement doesn't look that far off from mine. Bear in mind that you're really taking a fraction of a mm off when you drill it.

    -Laz, how could I forget you.... You've got a shout out now my friend :D

    -Stephane, keep it!!!!

    Thanks for all the kind words gents. I do think the white Exp II is one of the most handsome, understated (and under-rated) Rolex sports models. How can you not love the thick font on that bezel!!! :wub:
