mLuMaN83 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 So I'll be 29 this month and I will be getting an MBK 048 for myself as a gift. This is the first watch I have bought in 3 years so so I'm a little rusty with things. What are some easy improvements that I can make to the MBK? Im going to be picking up a gen burgundy croc with deployment at some point and maybe changing the date wheel. Feel like a noob all over again. I know there are a few 048 masters around.... "w0lf"...... cough cough. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Most important ones are a Taka/Leo 7750 DW and a better dial (old EL or gen). Have been scanning around for the latter for several months now myself... Btw, the caseback on the one I got from Reg a while back lacked model/year and serial engraved, do share if yours come the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 There are a few gen dials that pop up on the bay..cheapest are some guy in Finland.. but also try Vanni... more expensive but can get a few... plus hands As you mentioned Mike.... if you check his past content he has done a few write ups on these..so you can pick and mix.. so to speak.. Then there is Al and Gilbert as I recall Domi has been involved in a few franken projects of late using the MBKs.... I have seen some of his reworkings of the CG and case etc... best one I saw was a 119 with gen dial and crystal.. Reg can probably pick you a good one out at the mo as he is over there...plus you can get a cheaper version from MBK thats good f you are parting for a project.. same CG case etc just crappier dial etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
