madonna Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi all. I am planning to sell my unmodded Watchmaster 1680 red sub on the board today, but since I bought it used myself just wanted to get confirmation that it really is "the good stuff" before putting it up for sale. Also if anyone could confirm that there are no differenced between a MBW 1680 and a WM 1680 ? (don't want to do any false advertising ) It has the "Polex design" engravement between lugs, solid mid links etc. Here are the pics: Thanks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp1 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) How much? I wanted one but im not interested in paying steep prices. Edited January 28, 2007 by tonyp1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 it certainly looks like an MBW/WM ... as far as i know there isn't much difference between mbws / wms they are essentailly the same watch ... which is why they are commonly reffered to as MBW/WM ... the WMs these days seem to be outfitted with rivetted bracelets but they are the same watch from the same factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) look exactly like the MBW I got before taking it into pieces, even got the MBW oyster bracelet Never bought anything from watchmaster but some say its the same some say not. Open the case and see if its a 2846 or 2836 inside, some say wm fit 2846 inside Edit: Why are you selling this? the watch could be something you could work on and treasure for years Edited January 28, 2007 by Falco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 have you looked at the listing? its $350 sale price + Shipping. still too steep for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonna Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi. Watch is now sold for $350 + shipping costs. I think $350 is the "normal" price for a used MBW 1680. Chronomat123 sold his modded one for $390, but that was really too cheap. Included these mods: "-genuine Rolex crown and tube installed by watchmaker, cost around $100 -upgraded crystal with better date mag and higher stance, cost $15 -upgraded the bezel insert, cost $35 - lugs re-worked, cost $50 " And I think "George" is selling them for around $430-$440, but there the problem is to get him to sell one to you. I decided to sell it because I found out I really prefere bigger or chrono watches. (And PAMs of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp1 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) good price. Edited January 28, 2007 by tonyp1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yep... It's a legit MBW/WM. $350 is a great price, BTW... Perhaps even a bit low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
