Pugwash Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Does anyone know how much these cost or is it a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehtolcad Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 you can't get them because they're sold out apparently they cost over 2 grand per watch and yes the mbw on the dial is because it's an mbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 helluva good looking watch, whew, my eyes are tearing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 you can't get them because they're sold out apparently they cost over 2 grand per watch and yes the mbw on the dial is because it's an mbw I don't believe for a minute they cost anywhere near two grand. You can put whatever RRP you like on a sold-out watch. I'd say it cost well under a grand, but no-one's confirming that either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) And even if they cost 2000..... Then I´d still prefer 7 of the new Submersibles over one of these..... DAMN..... that thing is butt ugly. Edited August 28, 2006 by www_watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it cost well under a grand, but no-one's confirming that either way. Yes, the shroud of secrecy around this watch is disheartening... WTF?? For me, this watch is worth no more than $350, limited or not. Any dealers care to get this repped? It'll sell well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yikes. That is pricey. A bit more cash I could fit the bill of a BNIB PAM112. Sorry but that is wayyy to expensive. I reckon RXW is a little pricey, well this is just...... too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 i like it...but would never pay that much for it...i'd give 200$ for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 what is MBW ?? is it a swiss brand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 what is MBW ?? is it a swiss brand ? No. MBW is Maria's Best Watch, a German replica maker in Thailand. Honestly, it's too much to explain in a sentence here. I advise the search facility on this board if you really need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Maria never was and is no replica maker. So, are you saying this watch is NOT from Maria's Best Watch? Nice watch, great dial/hand combination and design.... Price?? $2000 for a $50 replica case and a $20-60 (depending on the option you choose) movement is abominable and blasphemy IMO, but if he can get it, what the hey It's a free world. If it REALLY is that limited, and REALLY costs that much, I say bring on the reps, they'll sell like hotcakes at a couple hundred bucks a whack.... Davidsen, where are you???

swdivad Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 So in fact that the MBW's are Frakens? No they are not, even the dials are not genuine Singer based, as genuine Singer stamps look different. The only thing that makes vintage MBW's better than others is the fact that the cases accept gen parts - but they don't come with gen parts already from the factory... Rep Radiomir cases accept genuine Unitas movements... I think you distinction above applies to Rolex only for MBW cases. I would really like to know how much these MBW Militares were really purchased for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 To clarify my position. Maria took orders for watches and he got some bloke or some blokes to put them together and he wasn't in charge of a factory or anything. Does that sound more accurate? If not, feel free to explain.

Star69 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 so - who has the best Sub ? all MBW-Watches are assembled in Cambodia from an old swiss trained watchmaker ... so also this limited edition . - is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
