  1. Hi Bong

    Hi Richard,

    It looks really amazing. Wear it well.

    One question. It seems that the bezel screws stick out a little bit. Especially at the 5 and 8 marker. The one at 10 seems to be like it should be.

    Is this something you will also see in real life or is it just the picture?

  2. I was in the same sort of situation two years ago.

    My PAM 187 was stopped by Dutch customs and I received a package without a watch.

    The sender marked the package as repaired chronometer or something.

    There was a letter attached that It was illigal to import replica watches etc, etc...

    Thinking of what to do and also calling this for help on this board, I got another letter te next day from customs.

    This was a whole diffrent type of letter. They stated that the watch was exemined by an expert and that it was a real panarai watch.

    But through the simple way of packaging it was asumed to be fake.

    They gave me a few options, proof that the watch was bought in the netherlands, or pay the tax.

    I considered making a false bill or receipt but didnt do it.

    I got a lot of advice not to do so.

    The best advice I got was "not to get my arm amputated over a splinter".

    ordering a fake watch is one thing, making false bills is (tax)fraud and a whole diffrent ballgame!!

    My advice forget the watch and bite the bullit.

    or in dutch "Vergeet het horloge en bijt door de zure appel heen!"

    I do agree with Truzement. I know it hurts but you don't want to get into big trouble for $500,-. Also I think that customs are getting trained in how to spot a fake and that they probably also read these forums.

  3. Hi outlandos,

    Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

    In Januari I send a watch to TWP for modding (how stupid was I??? :bangin: ) with registered post to the USA.

    On the shipping receipt I wrote defective watch movement.

    In Februari I bought a genuine FM in the USA (cheap $) and had it send over to The Netherlands. Before he send it to me, I e-mailed the dealer a letter, with a description of the

  4. Just Awesome !!!! Do the dials say swiss made at 6??? Angus seems to have these very same MBW's but without the swiss made at 6

    I really like those Hornback straps. Did they originally come with it?

    Unfortunately no swiss made at 6 but they are absolutely beautiful.

    Wear them well!

  5. That is why I suggested you wait. I believe this is the state of the art - MBK with black dial and SS bracelet:

    A number of folks sell it. This one is offered by Angus here on RWG.

    Yep that one comes close, except it's missing the "swiss made" at 6

    This is the one I'm looking for: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=58101&hl=

    Raymond got it from Paso but he can't get it anymore :(

  6. Wanted to share with you my two latest home made straps. I have made three in total now and the quality improves every time.

    Really enjoying my new hobby!!

    Here they are>>>>>

    Feedback appreciated. :D

    Man, those straps look great!

    Did you kill your cat for it? :lol:

  7. The one you are describing which is currently available is the standard MBK available from a number of dealers. The AP Boutique Scuba version has just come out but it is from the wrong factory with cyclops on the crystal. I would wait and see which of the seconds at 6 or scuba non-chrono version comes out first.

    Just remember that on the seconds at 6 they will never get the alignment of the pushers/crown or the placement and sizing of the sub-dials correct as the rep uses a 7750 based movement and the gen uses a chrono module placed on top of the base movement. I am waiting for an MBK quality Scuba. That is the one you could wear on your wrist with no worries.

    The AP Scuba which has just come out also has a wrong crown. It seems like a $ 100,- model to me. :lol:

    A MBK version of the Scuba would be a safe choice but for some reason, I like the looks of the better.

    Do you know other dealers than King who are selling them. All the ones I found at our dealers, having problems with either the cyclops, 60 subdial, or the missing
