1680 Mbw Dial On Tz?

[Sherrington]

Don't know what you guys think, but the dial on this 1680 looks like a MBW dial to me. Or is it my old eyes!!!

i believe your "old eyes" are correcto mundo!

I hope that chap wasn't taken to the cleaners on this one. Gen red letter subs can bring a princely sum. Hopefully, the rest of the watch and paper work are legit.

This is what "Clifton" writes:

"They are not the same.

I know there are a lot of Red Sub variations, but that dial on your Sub just does not look right to me. Any information on it you wish to share? Shot of the Ref# and/or partial serial?

I hope I'm wrong, but several things just are not right."

I've seen this guy calling out reps on TZ and WUS before. I'm 99% sure he reads this forum and is aware of the high-end reps. They don't identify the case as rep, but I suspect that watch is a modified MBW 1680. What do you think?

Yes...definitely a potential scam alert!!!

Well it's pretty clean for a 1680 and I am 100% sure that's an MBW dial.

Also the fact he states he got it overhauled and Rolex won't give him a copy of the report is a bizarre thing to mention.
