Pugwash Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ok, it would seem people don't know what models are available for TTK's MBW-alike Group Buy. So, any of you people with your vintage Rolexes from Maria, George or that stall in Bangkok, please share your wares with everyone. I'll start it off with my Great White 1665 and my White Sub 1680, straight from the bag. my White Sub 1680: If I can do crown guards like this, so can you: my Great White 1665 with added gen pearl: my Noobmariner, 1680 and 1665: Now, anyone got a Bacon Double Cheese Seadweller or a Milhouse? How about a single-red Sub/SD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Both gone (but not forgotten). Tudor "Military" Snowflake: 1680 with "Palped" dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchwatcher Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) luckyyy deal, price was under 3, maybe it was going out of business sale? The Zigmeister lume special cg's maybe swap the pearl someday but the idea from the start is to get the most with the least...

Pugwash Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 What makes a 1680 different from modern 16610 Subs? Is it the crystal and because its vintage?? Crystal, bezel, lugholes, dial, caseback, pearl ... It's a different watch, basically. It's the older version of the Sub, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I need to take some more current pics - here are some of my vintages and classics. The watches look much better since the 1680's have gen Tropic 127's on them, and the 1665's have the Tropic 39 Super Domes that Clark is manufacturing. Since I started buying things from Clark, I tried some of his bezel inserts and swapped them out for the ones I had been using. The Clark versions are very nice.

TJGladeRaider Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Bill my friend do you still have the 1680 (the mumie) that i shiped you? //robi Yep. I surely do, but now it is wearing a gen Tropic 127. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontin Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think my TT Sub is one of TW's best. Anyone know how to get these scratches out of the insert? It came off a few years ago and I scraped it on the ground while picking it up.....The bezel insert is genuine and the gold is hollow solid links. The crown is gold as well.
