Just to let everyone know that my new 005K lume at 12 hour marker is bit off. Blamed it on my untrained eyes and lack of Pam knowledge The application of lume at the "2" below the curve is not proper hence you can see a bit of white-ish spot there. I know that slight imperfection will bug alot of Pam enthusiasts here but apart from that its a watch beautiful head to toe. Rgds D

Crown,tube n etc would be next.Crystal is main priority now =) Hope it won't break my wallet though ...Swapping would be done by my local watchsmith

Captain,I have been sourcing for the same crystal too.If you do find it,do let me know where and possibly the $ as well.Appreciate it! Cheers Dee

Lots of demand and so few supply and with WM9 going in limbo,I might not be surpised to see the price hit $1.5k with few gen parts thrown in it..

PVD are more proned to scratches than DLC? Which version has DLC?

Guys...I am in the midst of buying a Skyland Blacksteel.Can someone point what version is this? Thanks in advance.

Ok I will.Thanks =)

Thanks Sander.I will give it a try on those kit from our dealers then....

Hi, Could anyone point out where I could buy a ETA movement SSD (not DSSD) datewheel? Thanks in advance

Talking about strap,I have been wanting to get a rubber or gator for my MBW ROO.I have no clue which will and will not fit(AP bands etc etc). Do I need a conversion kit as well?

I am sure he knows its a rep but said that to save you some faces right?

hahaha...well if your offers exceed my expectation...who knows...

I see. Did anyone ever produce a more accurate datewheel so that one could make a datewheel swap?

If I am not mistaken the cartel did produce one with the same dial with SWISS 7750 movement selling over 1 grant for it.

I have no idea whether it"s still in production.The second is at 9 for MBW ROO,well of cause it supposed to be at 12 on a Gen.

haha..order one now..hope they are still in production

I have had MBW themes before.IMHO the dial of this model is better and more "crisp" in appearance. Franken form as in you used the Gen dial and fit it in second @12 AP watch?

Hi guys, I bought this MBW ROO a few years ago at BKK .Being MBW,it has second @9 and the brushed and finishing is top notch.Date font is supposed to be bolder though.I have since seen numerous models being repped but I noticed that not many members are fond of this model.What do you guys think of this model? Understated or unpopular?

Hey S181, The rep strap sucks indeed,too plasticky and glossy. I have been sourcing everywhere for a good quality BP strap.I have to admit that HK Tan's custom gator BP strap is the only way to go if you do not want to pay a premium.I have had Strapluxe before but the gator pattern is no where near HK's work.I attached a pic of the Strapluxe gator on my 5002 below (1st pic).The pattern is sort of like embossed which is disappointing . Heck,even ready made HK's BP calf strap looks more impressive than the strapluxe.That's my 0.02 cents...hope it helps...

Yeah...you definitely get better transmission with the AR done.The rep crystal on this version gets a lot of reflection.I will be sending it to Taka soon.

Oh ok...so you are the OP ,pardon me then...it must be a typo in your pricing. And by the way..I have already pulled the trigger last week.Got it on my hands now...I have to say the AR is a bit weak compared to 5002 in terms of blue-ish hue.Is that why you are planning for the AR treatment(to get the blue hue probably) to look more gen like?

Sub SGD200 vs USD200 is a big difference...at least to me. The OP clearly stated its SGD200 not USD.

Sub SGD200? Used?

Thanks jockl1978...
