Can anyone give there thoughts or reviews on the MBK DRSD?

The MBK DRSD is certainly a very nice rep, and with some mods, it can become an excellent rep. But what you have to realize is that there aren't that many gens out there in the wild and they are very expensive- typically $20K and up. Interwatches has a PP- Patent Pending- listed for $179,000.00. But since few people can afford a $20K watch, wearing a rep that costs around $400 and with mods can be made to look good for under $1K isn't too bad a deal. But you're not going to fool a WIS- watch idiot savant, i.e. an expert. Some people opt for the GWSD- the later 'great white sea-dweller' since it's a little less conspicuous.

But 99.9% of the people aren't going to pay any attention to what watch you're wearing anyway- maybe they'll notice it's a Rolex, but that's probably about it.

A lot of peple around here have done the DRSD, Freddy comes to mind- he added a working HEV to his MBW and put in a 1570 Rolex movement- a very nice franken. Just this week Big Crown sold a very nice DRSD with a vietnamese case, 1570 movt, some gen parts- a beautiful watch. So there's really no end to what you can achieve here- just keep reading and learning.
