Hi dear all, I need a little favor. Does anyone has any Panerai watches from TWP? Any comments/advice on the quality? I saw that TWP has a number of different movements to offer for his Panerai watches, may I know which is a reliable movement for a start? Thanks.

Hi TTK thanks for the reply.

Hi, this is indeed a nice piece of watch straight out from the box.

Next, so sorry to borrow this thread.. Hi TTK glad to hear that you have many Noobmariners for sale now. I have dropped you a note some time back for the LV Noobmariner and I received a confirmation from you that you have one for me but now I'm pending the payment details from you. My email is alant.rwg@------- hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Hi dear all, may I know is moneybookers.com safe and reliable for handling payments? Please advise. Your comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi dear all, may I know where can I get good deals online for Hamilton Cross Wind Khaki watches?

Thanks in advance

Hi dear all, may I know what are the main differences between the Patek Philippe Nautilus Jumbo available through online dealers compared to those from MBW/MBK? I'm referring to those black/blue dial version. Thanks.

I'm green with envy pals! I also want my Nautilus... By the way, is there really a PP Nautilus Jumbo version? Or is it referring to the 43mm version? And may I know if the MBW/MBK PP Nautilus comes with display case back or close case back? Anyone has any pictures of the case backs to share would be great. Thanks.

Thanks pals! So the newer one is at 43mm. Is it correct to say the black dial one is more accurately replicated compared to the blue dial one? And other than the little flaw of the connected dots on the blue dial are there any other flaws for the blue dial version? Thanks.

So dear pals, can we confirm that PP Nautilus is a MBK watch and not MBW? And likewise AP RO is a MBW watch? Lastly, may I know if the largest PP Nautilus is it at 40mm? Thanks.

Hi thelawnmowerman, understand you have the MBW AP RO Jumbo with display case back, do you have any pictures of the back as I'm keen how it looks like. Example is it engraved with two leaves on the rotor or otherwise? Thanks.

Hi pals, any comments on the screw down crown? I realised the screw down crown for adjusting the time and date doesn't have any o-ring is that normal? And I have searched through some sites most stated using the Asian copy of eta 2824-2 movement, so is this the Asia 25 jewels movement? And is it a reliable movement? Or could it be a Asia 21 jewels movement?

Any more comments for the Santos 100 or Pasha?

Hi deal all, may I know does Panerai Pam 090 with power reserve come in rose gold version? Or is it a fantasy model? Thanks.

By the way, other than TTK does anyone else also sells the MBW watches?

Ok below is a list of MBW watches for a start, please feel free to add on if you know of any other MBW watches.

1. MBW Rolex 16610 (Submariner)

2. MBW AP Royal Oak

3. MBW PP Nautilus

Hi, I understand that there are MBWs for Rolex Submariner and AP Royal Oak. Can anyone share and list down what other MBW watches are there as I'm keen in them. Thanks a zillion!

By the way, I'm also looking at the Cartier Pasha 40.5mm Seatimer with black dial on rubber coated steel strap. Any comments on this piece or in general for the Pasha series? Are they better made than the Santos 100 series? Thanks.

Hahaha good try! How about RWU...anyone wants to start a Replica Watch Union?

Thanks for sharing georgegrasser & TmeShare. Yap that's why going for the Santos 100 as it is thicker compared to the Santos Dumont which looks a bit too thin.

Any more comments?

Yap $400 would be a good start and I'm sure to get ready to order one if it's at this price range. $660 after conversion my local currency still costs me around $1000+ so not really worth it.

Hi dear all, I need some opinions as I'm planning to get the Cartier Santos 100 (42mm x 51mm man's size) with leather strap for my partner. Yes she likes big watches and she did try on a gen one before, she don't mind the thickness of the Santos 100 too. So now I have to think whether to get the watch from Silix or Jos... or Andr... or Rub.. Silix's price seems to be the lowest for the Santos 100, so I was wondering in terms of make and quality is everything ok? Or does all Santos come out from the same factory so getting from A or B or C also the same? Thanks.

Hi Sql_pl, sorry to trouble you. It's indeed a very nice watch! May I know who did you get it from? And how do you find the quality? I'm also planning to get one for my partner and thinking if I should get it from Jos..., Andr... or Silix. Silix if offering at a very good price compared to Andr... and Jos..., so wondering if the quality is ok or not. I would appreciate your good advise. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi rckh I'm sure you will love it! I'm in love my UPO too! It's one of those watches that I would say pretty well made and its my daily beater now as I don't find it too flashy and yet sporty. And it has that solid feeling.

By the way just curious, the screw down crown for adjusting the time and date doesn't have any o-ring is that normal?

Haha I'm for the UPO. It's one that I dare to wear to my local AD too! But of course not letting the AD put it under magnifying glass for inspection! The feel and look is indeed very well done.

Next, moving on to the movement. I have also read The Zigmeister's post on this topic. Basically the HBB is using an Asia 7750 movement. I'm not sure if I interpret it correctly, The Zigmeister did said in other post that the Asia 7750 movement is a pretty fine movement especially with a little servicing. Whereas in this case, the complications arised because of the changing from the Asia 7750 movement to another 7750 movement. A lot of time and effort is needed as it's not a straight forward process and The Zigmeister did used a fair bit of materials too. Now, back to the watch itself straight out from the box without doing any modifications. Is it still that bad? Yes The Zigmeister did point out some potential issues like the close spacing of the hands etc. So if one is buying the watch without planning to do any modifications it may not be that extremely bad. Of course we can't classify this watch as a value for money watch too. Well, the above are just my personal opinions. I would welcome more feedback so that we could learn more too. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing TomRiddle!

And you know what over at my side only 3 ADs in the country are carrying the HBB. Went to them, all said the HBB all sold out and have to be on waiting list which is around 3 months! And buyers have to pay 20% deposit to be on the waiting list. Gosh even the gen market is so 'hot' for this HBB!! And people are actually paying and waiting for the watch without even getting to see the watch, feel the watch and try it on their wrist! Haha I just tried on three of the rep versions yesterday, I must say they are drop dead gorgeous!! Best part these 3 pieces are pre-ordered too and they are on the way to their new owners.
