Ahky Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 RWG Members, any thoughts on where one could find this ROO model? Looking for this dial with seconds at 12. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 You will NOT find this model with sec@12....this was only done by MBW as sec@9. There are some members (2-3) that had this watch done as a Franken...they paid a fortune for parts and mods....but rare like hense teeth. I do have the never-case model (as your pic shows) and the old-style-case model....only 5 have ever been made in the rep-world Cheers Theo For me its the most georgeous dial AP ever made and MBW did a great job to replicate the color of the dial and the texture....from different angles and lights the dial shows all shade of blue to grey...wonderful. Here is a pic of my Old-School-MBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeSentier Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hello and welcome to this great and very informative place. I joined this community not long ago, and learned quite a lot in the last months about gen and rep. To answer your question, I copy the answer to the question I asked a couple of weeks ago: "MBW= Mariah Best Watches (the name that is given to an specific manufacturer who in the past sold the watches by Mariah MBK= a Big mall place, soping mall where the shop of MBW is allocated. " I really suggest to use the advanced search option-it's a lot of reading, but also brings you new ideas and access to a couple of watches and members! Enjoy, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy, J Joreg, thanks so much for the information. I really appreciate it. I spent the past 4 hours searching thte Forum and found out who and where he is located. Unfortunately none of the posts indicate how one could order. Is there a web-site? online catalog or something? how can I see what models he has? thanks again.

EMM Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 That is my favorite AP ROO. I'd be interested in the expensive frankens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahky Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 That is my favorite AP ROO. I'd be interested in the expensive frankens. + 1. Question is where to source the Dial?

MADRED7 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 + 1. Question is where to source the Dial? Maybe one of the member /dealer suppliers can rep. Thoughts? For the Franken the only way is gen...source all gen parts and have them build inside an MBW case....spend over 3.000USD and ready you are. Or you live with sec@9 but get a reliable and trustworthy movement plus excellent finish and a beautyful dial. I love my grey/blue dials from MBW.....be it on bracelet with the modern case or on strap with the old style case. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Willing to spend it if I could find gen dial. Any suggestions? Thnx ...I have a gen dial and a superlumed MBW old case hornbill watch too (sec at 9). I may be willing to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 And one more piece to the puzzle....but have not been able to source a set of hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 yeah baby...uuhhh Thats what I was talking about ... talk the long road to Tipper.... This project needs time, before you sourced all needed parts you probably lost interest in it. Best of luck finding everything Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Exactly....the project is on the backburner. Getting a proper case is a real challenge too. If I really wanted, I could just buy a blue dialed sec at 12 and slap on the gen dial, but where's the fun in that? yeah baby...uuhhh Thats what I was talking about ... talk the long road to Tipper....
