irolexu Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 So I was looking at my 5513/1680 converted case and noticed POLEX between the lugs!?! Has any one modded it to say ROLEX? also does anyone know the history of the POLEX cases? just curious why they would have misspelled it to say POLEX not ROLEX...and I also saw a TW best that had the word design spelled wrong? is this on all the TWs or just some...interesting to why the cases on some models are misspelled...my guess to avoid a case from rolex? thanks in advanced for any explanation!

Ueno Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 It must be a mbw/mbk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Polex is the mark of excellence in vintage rep cases, you got a good one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 'Polex' is the mark of MBW cases , MBW beg really nice vintage sub cases , that with some mods can come to the top. Simply complete the 'R' leg to the P with a pointed marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 My 5512 "1:1" case that originally came from Josh (with the stubby crown guards) is also marked Polex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I can trade you the case for one that reads ROLEX correctly if you MUST have it. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 My 5512 "1:1" case that originally came from Josh (with the stubby crown guards) is also marked Polex. Yup, the later stubby CG "1:1" vintage reps from the cartel also has Polex between the lugs. Maybe a MBW/ MBK copy since they also accept gen parts to some extent? A rep of a rep or just a coincident? @iRU: A quick pic will help to determine what you actually have on your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
