Tribal Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) Hello , i want to show you my new Toy... It`s a new Submariner... A great watch from a "mysterious collector" This one has a very good dial and a very crisp datefont... Datemagnification is perfect... Lasercrown on the Safir is not to spot with normal eyes... Crownguards are very good from Factory... The Dial glows fantastic in the dark... the bracelet is very nice,accurate SEL`s and hollowmidlink,clasp is great... I installed a gen Tube and crown.. Bezelinsert is nice from factory... Ok,just take a look..... Comments are welcome RG Tribal Edited September 17, 2006 by Tribal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linder Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 It is true some people do dislike the modern MBWs but I know I sure enjoy my LV! Besides, where else can you get a laser etched crown showing the S as it came from being serviced by a Rolex Service Center? Congrats on your purchase. It is very, very nice.

alligoat Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 That certainly is a good looking watch. I especially like the lume, but the other details are good too, like the cg's, etc. These watches just keep getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I wonder if this MBW is 1:1 yet?? The day we see 16610s that accept gen parts directly like the vintage models do will be an exciting day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Tribal... You must have at least 30 Subs in your collection! Another lovely 16610...

Jetsons Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Very nice, Tribal! The little deatails sure do add up on this one. I would love to get a hold of this dial and transplant it to my TW 16610. You must be getting close to adding another watch box. Enjoy!

triplehd Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yepp, it`'s a MBW 1B... Idon't know about the lume but it's great... RG Tribal Tribal- I have read about the older versions of MBWs and the newer version of MBWs. What's the difference? Also what does 1B mean? BTW - Great looking watch. Congrats. I have my MBW, but the datewheel will be replaced - too bold. As soon as the mods are done, I will post some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rg tribal strangely the 1B is the much better Rep ....... i think its the answer to the "who has the best sub?" question at the moment but price wise joshs classic sub is the winner right now (but you have to replace the insert) Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 strangely the 1B is the much better Rep ....... i think its the answer to the "who has the best sub?" question at the moment but price wise joshs classic sub is the winner right now (but you have to replace the insert) Frank The issue is the rehaut. The 1B rehaut isn't as deep as the genuine. And so even though the 1B has alot of the details right, the 1A is actually the better watch to use as a base for modding. But, the 1A requires alot of work. It'll need a new dial, new date wheel overlay, new date magnifier (a slightly weaker one), crown guard work on both the inside and outsides, and a hollow midlink bracelet. All this is in addition to the usual suspects: gen crown and tube, gen insert, and dial and hands relume. So, all said and done, you're looking at alot of work and money to get the 1A to where it needs to be. I see the 1B as being inferior because you just can't fix the shallow rehaut and that's an important, eye-catching detail. My $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
