FxrAndy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Is that as it came from MBW or is that a different bracelet and crown, the lug holes look correct to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thats a quality watch with those lugs and strap where did you get it and How much? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gileto Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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 Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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?

Dizzy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackb911 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 That does look great! We need a steady source for these. Was the watch or bracelet $445? Where did the bracelet come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gileto Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 the base watch was aroud 460$, installed a yuki riveted bracelet with a buckle from a folded links bracelet, gen insert, crown... before : After : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Crown and insert make a huge difference and are fairly cheap mods, great watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 $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!$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!
