GMT master question

[FxrAndy]

Did MBK/MBW ever make a GMT master version, looking at the large triangle GMT hand version in particular

FxrAndy,

There was an old MBW 1675 (before my time on the forums) but it left a lot to be desired just like the 1655. Boy, if they could make a decent 1675 rep there would be a lot of interest. Maybe Josh and Andrew are working on it, I have to say their $198 vintage sub and SD options are not bad at all for the value.

I can only say for me personally that I was never that satisfied with my modded Silix 1675, in the end bought a gen 16750.

Thanks TMG

I have archived the picture of this particular MBW 1675 model.

Unfortunately it was really inaccurate replica.

that is a really bad replica. I'm sitting here with my 16750 in hand, and see a half dozen really bad things wrong with this rep, and that doesn't count the hand stack.

Unless someone like WM9 comes out with a really good replica of the 1675, The only alternative would be to do what By-Tor and toomuchgear have done and that is to spring for a genuine 1675 or 16750. I have a 16750, and it is a really great watch. It will definitely be one that gets handed down to my son.

Actually the hand stack is correct on the rep. My 16710 has different hand stack... 24h hand is above the hour hand. But on the 1675 and 16750 it's the other way around. Reps are accurate... hand stack is not an issue on 1675 reps.

Everything else is wrong on the MBW version though.

Thanks Guys, so if the MBW one is that bad then i may as well get one from josh etal and start with that as a project once i have done the 1680 and GW
