x86uops Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Does anybody know if the gen of the rep being sold as Joshua's classic sub has lug holes? I am not sure how modern the watch is, but the word "classic" is telling me that this model might actually have the lug holes? http://watchwindersworld.com/rlss10001-bla...362-p-1061.html Thank you. x86uops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This one states that is has closed 6's & 9's plus it seems to have the etched crown on the crystal. That would be correct for the new flush case model (no side case holes). I don't believe the old cases with the lug holes are still available.

Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 There is no classic in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This is classic in that it isn't the 2006 CN case that everyone is now carrying- TTK, EL, Paul, TWG and even Josh's Beginmariner. The cyclops and date window on the classic are too far to the right and a lot of the other dealers also have this model. I would suspect its days are numbered, just like the old cases w/ lug holes and the much sought after TW classic case w/ lug holes and deep rehaut.

x86uops Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I supposed if I were looking for a "classic" sub with lug holes, the only option is either mbw or twn best, is this correct? Outside of the 1680 series, can either the mbw or the twn best sub with lug holes still be purchased? I remember reading that mbw's out of the box are not too accurate and the twn best are now out of production. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufortunately, the deep and massive TW best case (which had the side case holes) has been out of production for sometime. The case was also used in the MBW. I'm not sure which case MBW currently uses but it is not the same. The only way to source the old TW case is to find a forum member that would part with theirs. Easier said than done. Both the old TW & MBW may have been inaccurate out of the box (specially the dial) but damn, that case was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add that the currently available MBW 16610 case is nothing to shake a stick at. I could certainly live with it, anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x86uops Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks for the responses guys. I am learning more and more each day. Just a quick follow-up question: if I were to build a frankensub, and assuming I were able to source both the mbw sub (not the 1680) with lug holes or the twn best sub also with lug holes, which one would you choose (and why), MBW or Twn Best? Also note that I don't really have a lot of money to spend on mods, but I am willing to do most of the mods myself. The key I guess is which of these reps can take either gen or aftermarket parts with little or no mods. Thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
