rag9fx Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello all, It's been a little while since I've posted here - unfortunately my rep (well actually all watch) collecting has been put on the back burner for a number of years now as other priorities have taken precedence. But it is always nice lurking and seeing what developments are happening in the rep world as well as all the amazing mod pieces that you all are doing. I have recently come across one of my old and personally very treasured subs (Palp'd MBW 1680) that was lost buried in storage for years. It needs a little TLC as the bezel and insert have gone walkies and I am desperate to get this back on my wrist regularly again! The issue is that my usual vendors for a decent bezel set either do not carry them anymore or no longer trade. (Sad times.) Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Many many thanks!

rag9fx Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 OH WOW! Happy Birthday RWG!!! This place has been such an amazing resource - the bulk of knowledge I have on vintage Rolexes I owe to this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 You know, there is one good way to guarantee a good bezel for your MBW. Send it to me, and I'll get started looking for the piece. I'm sure I can find one and get the watch back to you by, oh, 2025 or thereabouts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 You know what is ironic - it is by no means the most accurate facsimile of a 1680 but because it was breathed on by Palp and even serviced by The Zigmeister at one point it has a little RWG history and love in it. To me it is priceless and has some pretty special 'provenance.' Not letting it out of my sight for a while - that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
