caruwe Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 There is not only 1 mbw case around there are many different cases at the market. Sometimes it works, like on my mbw sometime it does not work. In any case - you need gen hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsupilami Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I got all parts together, movement, genuine dial and hands. seems like I have to grind down some material to get the movement clamps fixed, right ? It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 You might want to upgrade to a more accurate Vietnam case if you're going to be housing genuine movement, dial and hands. And it will take the 1570/5 directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will take the 1570/5 directly. A Yuki case would be another option. I seem to remember something about also having to dremel a little out around the nine o'clock area, but that may have been on a 1665 MBW case.

freddy333 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Both of these MBWs are gen powered. I had to shave a small amount of metal from the calendar ring on the 1575 to get it to fully seat into the case & grind a small flat spot on the pillar plate to give the Hev clearance (note - the gens do likewise). Otherwise, both 157x movements fit their respective (3+ year old) MBW cases without incident. They have also been fitted with gen crowns/tubes, crystals, bezel/insert/pearls, handsets & bracelets, so, excepting their dials (both of which are modded non-MBW aftermarkets) & MBW mid-cases, they are nearly gens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
