fitipaldi Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 and what will be the right color for the pushers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 my goodness I've been waiting for this. Would it be difficult to put in black pushers? I hope this isn't a prank or one of those watches that appears and then disappears on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 This old-school dial is a bit too blue....should be darker. Also the pushers need to be dark-blue....this rep copies the ss version of the gen, there was a titanium version of it as well....but that one got a grey/blue dial. I do have the MBW version of it that has a far better dial but is only sec@9. I asked for the possibility to change the new-style case for the old-style case (like the EoD) but the factory is not willing to. Anyway I am thinking of getting this baby....

edgematic1 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 and what will be the right color for the pushers? If I remember well the gen came with blue pushers (way darker than the rep) or black pushers. Dial is somewhat too blue, MBW dial is lot's better.

Rep Master Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 anyone have pics of the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Simply put this is one of the worst second at 12 reps. WHy would they come with this one so late and so wrong. Nothing is right - not dial, not pushers, etc. The gens I have seen also came with the old style case but there may have been a subsequent version.

Rep Master Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 is this the gen??? if so, the dial doesnt look that bad??!?! (plz forgive my noob'ness) but the pushers are definitly supposed to be black!!! and did they even make a Stainless Steel version? or did it only come in gold?

richard lawton Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi All Got this from MBW a long time ago. Seconds at 9.00 but with a genuine Swiss 7750 The quality is really excellent, much better that the current seconds at 12.00 models Really a keeper even if seconds at 9.00 Also attached is a photo of the real deal Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt666tm Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've been looking for one of these for so long... I hope they make better version with correct colors. If anyone wants to sell their MBW version of this please PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 There is a version of this piece with the new case (25721ST) and the old case model name is (25770ST). The blue dial only came in ss, the grey/blue dial came in Titanium. All versions have BLUE pushers/crown....its dark blue, but its deffo blue. Anyway, the rep color blue is completely wrong. I asked the dealers for the old-case version.....no interest. I have my old-case version from MBW with blue grey dial....she did a handful of pieces upon my request (only around 10 pieces ever made).

This model is not known by many people. (model nr.25721bc.0.1000bc.01) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 And my reference point for this one - one of the original six MBW frankens: And ultimately I like Theo concluded that it required the EOD style case and bought one of the old case design cheap quartz versions and did the transplant.
