Completed watches are arrived. Modifiaction MBW AP Jumbo

[aanival]

Hi... Watches received...

One question... how do I put the screw in the right position?

The one at 7.

Opened the case back, but can not see how...

I think these screws do not go all the way through the case like in ROO reps. They are just glued into bezel so you have to find a way to get it out and glue it back properly.

They are epoxyed in, removal may be tricky.

Hello,

The one that I sent to TANFO is my false, I should not let this one out in the first place. Anyway, I will send the new bezel with crystal to him as a replacement.

Cheers,

Paul

wait again

[MyNameIsPeterAndImOld]

[TANFOGLIO]

waiting

[MyNameIsPeterAndImOld]

Well, we'll see what happens...

[MADRED7]

I asked for replacement dials as well....."when they are ready" was the reply.

Hope this will not take another 6 months.....this is no good advertisement for a project-sale.

[TANFOGLIO]

waiting .... It is very disapointing

[MyNameIsPeterAndImOld]

New cases are ready

I think now that Paul is really trying to fix this I can show why I demanded on a new case.

So, well, that was the biggest flaw mine had... besides that those lug hole screws didn't screw in very well, some of them were scratched from the beginning, and there were some tiny scratches on the case. Hands too narrow, dial color way off, we all know what could have been better, but still this is a great looking watch, it's just that lug milling which looks like it was done by a six year old with a fretsaw which really bothers me

It's so good to hear that Paul still cares for his customers

[MADRED7]

@ PAUL....and how about those replacement dials in real white????

I d love a proper white dial, would save me getting rid of the watch.

Hello David

Haha... i can get you a gen one lol!

Not kidding. Reason why i am asking on a

MBW jumbo spare dial is that i will

probably rebuild (have gen AP logo) me a

15202ST rep - my MBW cream white dial

is slightly scratched (it depends on the

price for a replacement mbw dial)

i guess member "paso" once told me he could

get me one for under 40 or 30 USD but this

is loooong ago...

I have access to a salmon-silver Jumbo dial

and to a black (darkest anthracite) Jumbo dial

both ref. 14802ST. Have to prepare the pictures

i shot and upload.

If you will see them and you are interested

drop me a pm - btw youll need a different

datewheel too, i got me 2 matching VC datewheels

for the same calibre as used in the jumbo (AP2121).

Enough thread hijacking now.

Sorry i am too busy although logged in (from work)

but plan to post asap - i guess i am able to forward

some very rare and interesting parts to the members here -

and i will post rwg-only.

Thank you guys.

George

[specialvat]

Nice one George, let me know

[MyNameIsPeterAndImOld]

Well, I might also be interested in a genuine dial and date wheel... if you want to get rid of them, just tell me
