Thanks for the PM omgiv, I hadn't checked the other things he had for sale. IMO, you'd probably be better off staying away from him altogether. It looks like the rest of the stuff he's selling is a bunch of crap. I'm especially suspect of the "papers"

Found something a little better Here ya go ..sorry, not better after all

IMO, it's simply not worth it; in fact, it doesn't even look like the gen. If this is what turns you on, you should definitely consider getting the gen. 1000 times better than the fake, and beyond that, these watches have their own fan base. Definitely recommended if you're considering something worthwhile, check it out here.

Hello RWG'ers: For anyone who may be interested in my bracelet, it's posted now in the FS section.

How about finding an old MBW? Those white dials looked pretty good when lumed properly

Wow, that brings back memories...

Anyway you could bend the clip so it holds a little tighter? If you want to bail on your great white and go big time, I've got the perfect drsd case that's fs Cheers, JJ

Real of course

save it, put it toward your next fake watch

I was kidding T. Of course I would never waste my money on a fake watch. BTW, lol, I'm still waiting for that beer money to arrive

Does anyone make a rep?

I was hoping one of the area "experts" could help me with a question. I know it's non-rolex, but it's kinda cool and very different. I was wondering if anyone ever saw one of these, and where I might find one? Thanks JJ

Very cool! ...but for eight grand??? How much does it cost to DLC one of these?

I totally disagree. To assume that someone who (perhaps) can only afford a "$5k watch" is any less serious than someone who chooses to invest 50k on a piece is foolish. Most serious collectors started out small, and some (god forbid) even start with "fake" watches. Does that make them less serious about their chosen hobby? I found the watch on the bay to exhibit a problem that just about every other viewer of this thread didn't catch. This thread was meant to be a learning experience. I even tried to prod viewers into doing some research on their own and actually learning something new instead of spoon feeding it to them. I'm sorry I bored you with my thread by prolonging it, and further apologize that I missed your earlier response. I feel that a correct early 16750 is a good watch to add to a collection, and would find it surprising if most serious collectors on VRF and elsewhere wouldn't have one in their stable. Even though I started with fake watches, I know I will never buy another one. At this point, I do consider myself a serious collector as much as my means allows, and quite frankly I find your second comment offensive.

Must have missed your earlier post ubi, did you edit that? Anyway, here's a correct Mk1 dial. Yes, of course it could have been replaced during a service, but for any serious collector, a dial is big. Although crystals and crown/tubes get replaced during normal service, dials, cases and casebacks normally don't. Luckily there's still enough of these out there so someone seriously looking can wait for a good one to come along.

Ok, that's enough 6 mil 16750 should have Mk1 dial

Ok, Nanuq just made it easy. His is correct. PS: dial on the 'bay watch is not aftermarket

lol I'll make you guys squirm a little longer. I can't believe nobody picked this up yet. I feel sorry (kinda) for the guy that ends up buying this piece.

...geezus, you guys gotta do your homework

His date is obviously incorrect, but that would be too easy

...maybe I should change my opening thread to "Does anyone see and major problems with this piece!" x2

Anyone notice any problems with this piece?

Very nice freddy ...I'm still debating whether or not to but a gen Mk3

Here's another couple quick shots:

Very nice vly! Is this the same one you had on your wrist at the GTG a couple years ago? JJ
