milesd Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 indeed it does. the case really only needs 3 things; lugs drilled to 1.25mm , tube swap , and CGs done. im hoping to mod a whole bunch w/ these 3 basic changes to bring them up to a 'standard', once NP stock returns @MBK. Thanks for the post. If you can, please PM me with a source of a 5513 watch from MBK (or preferably just the case). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 The cartel and PT cases dont compare the the MBW. I have both, and have modded a lot of them. The fit and finish is a big difference. The MBW is much nicer to start with and no crystal retention ring problems or caseback thread problems. I agree that after I threw away all the parts off my PT1680, I was left with the case and case back, movement, bracelet links and endlinks and that was it. Its a good watch for $198 if you want something cheap to mod and play around with, but the MBW is a better starting point if you are adding gen parts and dials etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Sorry if I did a mistake advising Paul as a dealer. I've bought several of his stunning buckles and asked him to get a MBW for me as he lives in Thailand. I really don't think he's a dealer, but a nice helpful guy. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Hear hear, I had the pleasure of meeting Paul recently and he helped me out immensely. Incredible guy.

boostin20 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Wow, wish I found this thread before I put a deposit sown for someone to get me a MBW. Hope I still end up with one. I know nothing about the variations between versions, and was just going to send it to a modder to do a franken project. Does anyone have a link to how to tell the difference between a MBW and different type 16610? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 When was the last time they produced a 16610? I thought that was discontinued a while ago? Maybe there is stock laying around from years ago.. who knows. There are replicas of the MBW's so watch out for those. The cartel dealers had them a few years back. That was sort of the beginning of this newest vintage Rolex replica craze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 the new MBK 16610 is actually the TW case as far as i could see, i was checking the sample a couple months ago. no more polex 16610 as far as i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 MBW is a store. MBK is a shopping mall. Nah Piek is the store, MBK is the shopping center, Maria is a dude(?) who bought watches from the Nah Piek store in MBK earning these watches "Marias Best Watch" a play on words to TWBest, coincidentally it was discovered that MBW watches came from MBK. makes sense?

Jkay Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 OOOHHH That is very clear, thank you .. I did not know that Maria was the first person to access Nah Piek .. I always thought he had his own store in or near MBK and competed against Nah Piek. I appreciate the history lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
