  1. You may be right, but due to past experiences, I doubt that an EL or Andy or Joshua without mods are so solid and accurate than a MBW. At least, my modern MBW 16610 is waterproof (swimminpool diving, yes) and accurate to -15 secs/month. To ensure that accuracy and waterproofing you have to pay an extra of 125 USD to Joshua + shiping, and you are paying near those 500$ (I paid 360USD for my MBW). And no mention about rehaut.
  2. Don't want to make the "whos has the best PO" question, but I'm getting lost with so many versions. Is the orange and black bezel insert versions the same (meaning same case different bezel insert)?. Is there 5th version for 42 mm? I've seen that 5th version is not better in all aspects than 4th.. Thanks in advance for your patience.
  3. At first sight and for a newbe like me, seems very very good... laser etched crown, dial print, date font and window, mag... where is it from?
  4. Time to act as buyers and dealers. Buyers: take in account risks of this business and be patience. Dealers: act as dealers (achieve your compromises, help buyers, be gentle...) If you buy something and you are offered a guarantee, execute it when needed. And it doesn't mean that the dealer is making you a favor. He's just applying what he announced. Andy is agreat dealer because of the quality of his items and service. Nothing else. No matter the difficult of the market for a business, all of us must play the rules we have accepted.
  5. I see that there's no clear idea if watchmaker's sub is a MBW or not. Would it be possible to make a side by side comparation? i.e.: those having a MBW 16610 modern (like me) couls post some pics, and then somenone having a WM9 post pics from the same angles. Just an idea.

    Yams !

    Magnifico Torresp! Did you get it directly from Maria? would it be the same luckyyy is selling?
  7. Any possibility about a 16610 gen mov. that could fit into a modern MBW(asking for too much?)
  8. Much more than any naked woman!!!!
  9. Very nice Tommy! I need that crown and tube replacement as well as a little CG rework to lift my MBW up to a similar level... Mine must go to your hands to take a "SPA"...
  10. It is said that MBW's qre 100m resistance
  11. Is not the same watch than MBW TT. Look at the SEL's. In MBW you see all gold in SEL's, but in Honpo's there is a gold slide on the SEL's. Regarding rehaut, I'm now wearing my MBW modern 16610 and it0s difficult to say, but rehaut seems deeper in mine that in TT in pics. But the angle in pics and the crystal reflection makes it difficult to see.
  12. luckyyy claimed in his sale post that the mid links were of solid gold. Have had the opportunity to check it? I did order the same because of that reason.
  13. Trying to buy a specific Cross pen model (tuxedo) that is being quite difficult to find since it is aout of the 2006 catalog. If you know a good online site to find them, please let me know. Thanks.
  14. Medium size is 36 and not 38 mm. Seen in a couple of places iin the internet. Medium size is 36 and not 38 mm. Seen in a couple of places iin the internet.
  15. Is Aspire's the same than River's? You show the Aspire's pic, not River, so It doesn't prove the River's is the same. As I said, may be pics but I see a gold slide on the end link.
  16. Maybe is the pic, but the SEL's gold covering in the mid link looks like the old models (not full gold).
  17. My wife's the same but from King with 14K solid gold in links and bezel. I put the same dial. She's very happy with it. Now is in the "garage" for some health checks...
  18. I had an Expl with the same problem (+15 secs/day). And I compare with the GMT official page.
  19. I've just decided to start opening a watch and unassembling the movement. Any idea where to get an cheap watch (or some of them) to begin testing?
  20. Rlx parts
  21. Do you think it worth the money buying a gen instert or a good aftermarket (like yours ) is good enough?
  22. I've just lost my pearl from my MBW 16610 and I'm thinking in replacing current bezel for a geniune or a good aftermarkt. Do you know if a geniune will fit with no mods in a MBW 16610? Any good source? Thanks in advance.
  23. While winding up my wife's ladies DJ, the crown felt down. Push it back into the tube but when pulling out to fix date or time, falls down again. Any idea how to fix it again? Maybe I can use some drops of super glue and push it on again? Thanks for your help.
  24. Absolutely a must. Having your watch directed serviced and moded from seller saves time and surely money. Maybe complex mods like touching Asian 7750 or similar worth the time and money sending them to The Zigmeister.
