Anyways, I just bought an MBW 5513 with the same serial as the ones, I know, other members used years ago. Different serial and case to the current ones sold in MBK or by Reg. Thanks for everyones help This will be a good project
-
From VRF 5512 PCG
-
Frank, the Josh 5513 is not really an option I think, those CG's always look too stumpy no matter what mod. AFAIK it can't take a gen dial because of the oversized rehaut. But would you say the old MBW 5513's are better than the new ones? Cheers
-
So are the old 5513's specs close enough to justify the price? A nice member offered me one and l'm inclined to take it.
-
Yep the Cartel 5513 has copied the Polex marking. Anyways, it neither takes gen parts nor has it specs even close to the genuine.
-
One could have a more open mouthed coronet The other one rather flat But hard to tell from the pics...
-
Sorry guys I'm not willing to risk a lawsuit for taking pics of celebs or models at the office
-
Interesting Andy Thanks for the input
-
To my knowledge MBW does not equal MBK So if the watches are different there is a chance the serials are as well
-
Woof l can't send PMs via phone. Would you PM me your 5512 serial? That would be great Thanks
-
Since I want the CG's to be cut pointed, the case should have enought metal to make it happen. Had anyone here had both? Original Maria's Best Watch 5512/3 and newer MBK 5512/3 ? Thanks

Hello folks, being a big admirer of the vintage Rolex builts, members have performed on this board, I'm looking for my 5512PCG options. I have a gilt dial after gen specs, gen superdome T19 and gen crown. I want it to look like LHOOQ's, because naturally - I want to be just like him I have read a lot about MBW's - but still don't quite understand what the deal with those MBK 5512's from BKK is. Reg still can source them and I've heard they take gen parts without big modifications. So, since Josh's 5512 is way out of specs... Are these current MBK's worth the money? Or is buying a used MBW from an member the only chance? If so... Cheers Akira

Either way l figures l could aa well buy one from a member CONUS
-
Chances are they don't spot it at all... If they do, they might ask for purchase proof, because they'd need a tax proof etc. because of import rules. 19% taxes on any item purchased outside the EU over 450€ and purchased in the last 5 years. I know chances are small, but I couldn't live happy anymore if anything would go wrong and I'd loose my Franken 1675 because of it.

Thanks Val, you know there are a lot of watches in your collection I'd have loved to "loan" About not taking a watch, I wear one - a genuine Skagen Automatic - but didn't take any reps because of German customs when getting back....they can be a real PITA
-
Hello fellow members I thought I'd survive the 6 months in the US without a nice rep on my wrist, but apparently I was only kidding myself So here is the deal. CONUS only! Is there a nice member who likes to sell me either: 1. a very nice modded vintage Rolex? - 62XX Daytona - 5512/13 - 5508/5510 - 1665 GW - 1016 2. recent N-factory PAMs - surprise me Also - like some of you know - I lend my 1675 Franken to Solky during my US time. I'm a trustworthy person and if another trustworthy person would like to "lend" a watch to me... In exchange for money as a deposit - I'd be more than happy as well. Meaning, I want to get rid of the watch when I leave the US in August anyways, so we could just agree I send it back then and you refund the amount Just post a pic of your offer if you like and I will contact you PS: Price shouldn't be much over $300 in sale value and not much over $400 in loan Thanks to all of you Cheers Akira

Hello folks. I have a genuine 7205 bracelet without endlinks. Would WSO endlinks fit the DW Daytona case and take the gen bracelet and springbars? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OYSTER-WATCH-BAND-END-PIECE-ROLEX-19MM-LUGS-MATTE-/310347804380?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48422baedc#ht_4277wt_1270 Thanks for your help Akira

Where to drool over watches in NYC, Manhattan?
Akira replied to NaviChief's topic in General Discussion
Vintage Rolex stuff too? Cheers -
Well, maybe you should check out the member Rolexaddict. He built several 1675's the last few months, including my Franken 1675. He's now a trusted modder on RWG1.1 http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showforum=220

Are you planning on building it yourself?
