I got tired of owning a watch I never wear. It is tough for me to wear a rep of a gen which no one actually wears (too valuable) so I decided to convert my MBW Comex. This particular watch has great provenance as it was the first of subsequent Ziggified MBW's. The conversion project began when I was bitching to Ubi and he mentioned that he happened to have a white dial in that bottomless parts box of his (I am convinced it is bolted to the floor and there is a trap door underneath). So the dial was off to Ziggy for his vintage relume. Of course the watch had already had the benefit of casework, crown and tube, springbars and cg's by the Master. Add one of Ubi's custom inserts and you have one hell of a watch. Of course, it would not be complete without a vintage overlay. As this watch was one of the test watches for the Vintage Overlays this actually has an earlier version and not the final. Oh well, someday. Enough with the intro, here are the pics:
Next up will be my 1680 (when I find that crystal).
