d-rock Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 MBW's seem to be well known and highly regarded for Franken modding. Is anyone familiar with the MBW GMT II ? I can't say that I recall having ever heard/read mention on them. Anyone ?? If so, they should be able to accept gen parts much like the WM9 can, yes ??

Cats Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 D-Rock there was a MBW GMT II for shure. I know that By-Tor has a lot of knowledge about of the GMT watches. Maybe he can help you further. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 At one time, I had a TW Best 16710; but this was a long time ago. I think this was essentially the same thing as the MBW/MBK 16710. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 d-r, look at by-tor's reviews of the correct hand stack version of the 16710. I believe it was a noobfactory version. He wrote a pretty nice review on it. However, i believe he has changed his mind about the CHS version, as it was so problematic for most everyone who owned one. I don't know where you would find a MBW now. if they are even still available. Since Eurotimez disappeared, they haven't been widely available. I believe that at least one of the members here has access to MBW watches, and can get them on occasion. Problem is most everyone has moved on to the ceramic GMT IIc, What we really need is a good version of the 1675. That one has the same hand stack as the 2836-2 and the 2893-2 movements. A really correct version of the 1675 should sell like hot cakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-rock Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yup...seems there is MUCH hype for the GMT IIc's. I'm not much on the shiny ceramic bezels and the maxi-dial set up. I'm really interested in the old Black Noob Factory EXP II....who knows, maybe I will get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I used to have that TW version too. Review is here. LINK. Keep in mind, this came out before the Noob version. It's not as good but I liked some of its characteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooops...wrong thread D-Rock....I knew you was looking for a BK Transformer GMT also Edited January 27, 2011 by PMMUTD68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The TW best review by Bytor is an interesting read. I bought a GMT from Joshua maybe 6-7 years ago. He only offered it for a short time and then it was gone never to return (to my knowledge). The watch had all the characteristics of a TW/MBW.....lug holes were small and looked the same as my MBW Subs and it also had an off center "swiss made" on the dial which is another characteristic I knew from my old TW best subs. Rehaut is also just like Bytors watch. It looks very similar to the watch Bytor reviewed EXCEPT.......it contains a swiss ETA 2893 movement, crown is centered on the case and the bracelet is a hollow link type with polished link sides just like the gen. Wish I could post a few nice pictures buy my cell only takes crappy shots. Anyone else familar with the watch I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
