@ Rosnik , that questions is a definite yes if you ask me, This is the new "MBW" with all the troubles that i got from Narikaa. So you could call it a copie because it's definitely no improvement compared to the old one. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks guy's for your repsonse. I never swim ( don't even shower with it )with this watch and yes the case was opened during the modding process. I don't thinks that the crystal is glued because to my knowledge there was no glue used when the crystal was installed. I can remember that Omega told me during the modding process that he had doubts about the quality of the steel and that it felt softer/different then the usual MBW's he worked on. As mentioned aerlier it's going back for moddifications and for a new gen 127 so then we will have a clearer view on the issue. But this so called MBW keeps costing me a lot annoyance and money.

Noticed this morning when i was categorizing my pics that my "new" MBW 1680 is starting to rust. Are this particals left over from a rehaut polishing that are rusting or is it a crapy stainless steel quality ??. Noticed ( but not pictured yet ) that it's also starting to rust at the 30 minutes part of the case. I will post some close up of the rust later but it's clearly visable at the 40 minutes part of the case. Is this normal ( i haven't seen it with all my other MBW and other "cheaper" rep's )and what has to be done. There is a new crystal on it's was so we will have access to the rehaut in due time. Thanks for reading and suggestiosn are welcome. Carpe Diem Cats

Welcome to thsi wonderful community. Prepare for the next 5 days that you will surf this side. Carpe Diem Cats

Interesting discussion. @ Justasgood , where did you get your gen crwons from ?? I can imagine that it's also easy to rep the packaging of the so called "gen" crowns. If they come from an AD or an authorized repair centre i assume they are gen but every crown bougth via another source could be repped. Carpe Diem Cats

Great job and thanks for sharing. And soem nice tools you got there. Carpe Diem Cats

still on my wrist the superb modded SUB from Omega Carpe Diem Cats

@ Justagood, Is it a old or new MBW your working on at the moment ? That a real nice top hat you got there in the picture with the crown. I think it will look real nice on my 1680. Carpe Diem Cats

And some who own ( or owned ) very high graded rep's. Enjy yor stay at RWG Carpe Diem Cats

Today and tomorrow i will be wearing my SUB which was modded by Omega Carpe Diem Cats

Check with Eurotimez and keep a close look on the sales post. Now and then even 'old'school MBW pop up. Be carefull with hte newer ones because they differ a lot from the old ones. Carpe Diem Cats

That's exactly the point. At which point do you stop investing money in a Franken project ?? Never the less a nice project and keep us posted vlydog Carpe Diem Cats

Which scratch Freddy ?? Carpe Diem Cats

I have to admit that i only have 2 white at the moment )is a Ebel 1911, which happens to be my first gen , and the Tissot that my father got when served 40 years with Philips. The Tissot is with a friend at the moment who will give it complete service and replace the crystal with a new one. I once had a Exp II with a white dial and black markers. Bought it from Narikaa for less then 80 euro's. I liked that watch but i decided to sell it because the end links didn't fit in the case properly. If i can find a Exp II with black markers and good looking crown i will go for it. Carpe Diem Cats

1680 white again for today. By the way i have fitted gen end links now which is a huge improvement, will show some new pictures soon Have a nice day Carpe Diem Cats

Don't change the dial Stpeehane. I like the white dial much better then the black one. It gives the watch more class then with a black dial Wear it well Carpe Diem Cats

Great watch and realy nice pictures Wear it well. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks guys So the rolex part #315-168000 is the correct one. Carpe Diem Cats
