slied013 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Planning to buy this nice 1665. I am not sure if this is a MBW, or a more recent MBK. Your help will be appreciated.

ww12345 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 That's not a rail dial, is it? I thought rail dials were SC and OC lining up that middle gap...
ProMariner Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 That's not a rail dial, is it? I thought rail dials were SC and OC lining up that middle gap... Sorry my mistake .. It is not a rail dial and it is not from ingod... I just took a glance at it .. You are completely right !!
ww12345 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Looks like an OK dial though! DW might be a bit low, but overall pretty good... Do you have other pictures? It might help others ID it (I wasn't in the rep game when they were MBW, so I couldn't help you).
Nanuq Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Unless it's had case work, that's not the earlier MBW. Here's mine straight from the hands of Maria. 1
508-Fanatic Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Do people still get product from ingod?

Hmm, CG are different, crown on dial is different, bezelteeth are different etc. etc. Ergo, not a MBW. I suppose it is a MBK which still can be bought from Reg.
alligoat Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Nanuq's is a very earlly MBW- doesn't it even have a 2824-2 in it? You need to check the engravings- "ORIG POLEX DESIGN" then the inside caseback- Gelena Shiterand SN on those early MBWs was 5,78x,xxx or 5,79x,xxx as I recall. the pearl looks like the typical MBW pearl- an opaque white.
sgtguk Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 I'm betting later Mbw mate, I have a few and if you check the serial it should give an indication of early/late one pearl is terrible btw (mine are same lol)
Boxsash Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 The early mbw GW have 5789899 serial no. My case has the 5790188 serial with a white dial but the back for the double red. I guess that they just fitted whatever parts were available. The polex design inscription was only on the submariner cases. I have a 1680 white with polex design between the lugs. I hope this is helpful.
ronin007 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Heres a picture of mine,bought from mapman57,its been modded a fair bit though 4
automatico Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 My year and a half old MBK POLEX 1680 and age unknown 5513 cases are all L342xxx. I wonder just how many 'Genuine' POLEX MBW/MBK 5512/13, 1680, and 1665 cases are owned by RWG members? No 'unmarked/claimed to be' cases allowed. I have two 1680 cases from Reg and one 5513 case from a trusted RWG member = three (3).
klocklind1 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 That is defenitely a later MBW dial that will look even better if it gets a relume:) The CG is already modded:)
