elprimerozen Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 I have give away the old and CRAP MBW clasp and diver extension ,and put on a new modern.... The difference is huge when you feel the watch. And here is my brand new bezel insert GEN:
yt74 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Interesting switch out with the clasp and diver extension. I am just not sure if the modern would look right? However my MBW divers extension clasp refuses to stay closed, so I may have to consider this!

However my MBW divers extension clasp refuses to stay closed, so I may have to consider this! That was exactly the problem...plus the feeling of the MBW clasp was CRAP!Now its solid...it made the watch to have the perfect gen feeling ...and sound when you move your hand!
elprimerozen Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 The bracelet is mbw...the clasp came from a lv sub eta 2836....
