narikaa Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) After a few days of listening to the guy at MBKs 'Nah Piek' store telling me that 'Pee Chai (elder brother) saleep' Ive been waiting for some Thai handsome prince to come and kiss him & wake him up. Got the news today that he wont be waking up any time soon....died this morning As he was the guiding light of the operation it remains to be seen how this affects the continuance of these revered watches. .

Watchmeister Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 That is very sad. They have been real innovators in our hobby and I hope someone in the family continues the tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yes it would be a shame if this proved to be the end of MBK's, but even if not we can expect supply to stop for a while as the family mourns their kin. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 What's with all the seeming grim news in the watch world these days. MBK passed away Noel Fuller passed away And the health of two other watchmakers I know is failing... Sad news, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Sorry, silly question guys, but who is MBK? I dont think Ive owned any of his watches. This is sad news all the same, may he RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBK is the name of a shopping mall ,, it translates to "The Mall of Everything" Na Piek is the store in MBK shopping mall which sells "MBK vintage rolex" reps ... known for their 1:1 fitment. MBW is "Maria's Best Watch" .. where Maria is a man, not a woman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Too bad about MBK's passing MBW is alive and VERY well. Makes me feel lucky to own these watches. The finest example IMO is the PPK Nautilus. Thank you Jesus thank you George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Jesus, that's sad, on the other hand didn't anybody think to check to see if he was still breathing after being 'saleeep' for the whole first day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm Well for sure he would have failed the usual litmus test for telling if a Thai is asleep.... 'Has he stopped eating?' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
