Dial and bezel with insert:

All in all, The MBW is still the best out of the box you can get......if you know the right people

Wow thanks for sharing buddy the Mbw compares well! Is this an original Mbw or one of the newer type which correct me if I'm wrong ...called Mbw/mbk now?

Also is this Mbw modded or is it out of the box ?

Cheers

MBW with only a Gen 127 top hat crystal installed.

nice comparison good. i feel like the hardest part to mod is the datewheel. eventually i modded the crap out of mine but the lack of a properly printed silver datewheel put me off

That was a point of contention and a few attempts were made some time ago. But remember, a service replacement was white so, not too bad.

Ditto you can spend as much money as you want but you won't better a well

Modded MBW

[ldegeneve]

Is this one of the newer MBWs?

[archierocks]

Can you buy MbW anywhere just now

[Justasgood]

A friend just picked it up a few weeks ago.....source unknown

[archierocks]

i wish someone knew

[the_rymeister]

So is this a newer type Mbw like the the ones you can get from narikka ?

I doubt it. This is straight from "THE" source......

[Ephry73]

Now I wonder how much one of these will run as is to mod later.

Well, When I am done with this one. i figure market value will be around $900-$1000.00

Figure: Gen 9315 Bracelet, Gen crystal, gen insert, gen crown, gen tube, slow beat Gen eta serviced, DW overlay, Shape the case and CG's, gen spring bars(Drill out to accept).

$1000.00 may be a little low now that I think about it......

[Ephry73]

Too many projects! lol I always wanted a classic 1680 or maybe even a 16800. Not too bad considering how nice it looks

I think 1000$ is gonna be alot too low. when I figure what I have into my MBW 1665 I get weak..lol

Thanks for posting those great pics!

[Justasgood]

Well, I haven't decided to even start this one so.......who knows.

[mjmj]

This is my MBW from Narikaa with the following modds.

Gen Crown , Gen Tube , Gen Insert , Gen crystal ( still have to get Kurt's installed ) , gen endlinks and a white dial with Andy's lume and some good old case work

Didn't do the calculation on this one but i shure it's well over 1000 € .

Can't do the modds myself so there is also a lot of labour cost involved

Carpe Diem

stunning cats

[lhooq]

Beautiful, K! I'd love to get my hands on one of those!

(The gen, obviously.)

[FxrAndy]

I think $1k is very low if you ar putting a gen 9315 on there!!!!!

Pete what is the recipe for that one?

[Justasgood]

It's for sale........good price too.
