My new mbw 5512 !

[Gileto]

Then, it's here !! After almost 1 month waiting, my great MBK/MBW 5512 arrived...

...now waiting dial and hands to complete my 1675 project...

[freddy333]

Very nice. Could you post a good, clear straight-on dial pic?

p.s. Duplicate thread deleted.

Is that as it came from MBW or is that a different bracelet and crown, the lug holes look correct to me

[omgiv]

Well worth the wait!!!!

[alligoat]

I'm with Andy, the lugholes do look correct and the crown is a better size than typical MBW. Enjoy your new watch. With a decent pearl and a little work on the cg's, you'll have a very nice rep.

What mods have you done? It doesnt look like a stock MBW. It looks pretty good. Where did you get that watch from? Those folded links look like the ones on that new mystery 9315 bracelet being discussed on VRF.

I think I might have to get one of these!

[StormTooper4]

Thats a quality watch with those lugs and strap where did you get it and How much? thanks

[Gileto]

Rolexfinder sourced it for me, no mod done yet. It got a swiss 2836-2 heart. It came with a regular mbw bracelet, I put this one on instead. Price was 445$ + shipping...

That's a good catch for a MBW without any mods.

Intersting to see that they come with correct lugholes and a better crown then they used to come.

Wear it well.

Carpe Diem

Wow these new MBW's sure look good. Much different than my old 5513 case. Nice lug holes and even the crown guards look not too bad at all...

Could you take a pic of the face straight on so we can see the crown guards?

sorry for the iphone quality...

[Dizzy]

Thanks...

cant really see the CG's in this pic.. white metal on white background... Looks pretty good though. Is this the same case as the 5513?

[highoeyazmuhudee]

is it the same old L342 serial? im betting yes. lug holes and all scale for that matter is greatly affected by photographic illusions

congrats on the piece! love the bracelet

[Zackb911]

That does look great! We need a steady source for these. Was the watch or bracelet $445? Where did the bracelet come from?

[Gileto]

the base watch was aroud 460$, installed a yuki riveted bracelet with a buckle from a folded links bracelet, gen insert, crown...

Crown and insert make a huge difference and are fairly cheap mods, great watch!

$460 is a bit over what we used to pay for an MBW but i would also say that looking back at the original pictures it is better than the MBWs that we got in the past, for one the lug holes are better and the dial coloring is also good

Oh and the folded link bracelet!

He said the Bracelet was Yuki so this one: http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/8082246.htm

How's the quality of the bracelet? is it worth the $135?

[Mr Clark]

Great piece you have here!!! Beau résultat!
