Mbw Modern Vs "regular" Modern

[sam_tgg]

Ok, there is a topic about the Mbw Vintage Vs "regular" Vintage.

What I would want to know is what happen in Mbw Modern Vs "regular" Modern.

I am talking more about the Seadweller, but also the Submarine.

It is clear righ now the differences, prons and cons of the MBW vintages. Help the noobs about the moderns.

Thanks

good idea......

i think at the end both thread will provide lots of info about all the aspect of the 2 mainstream of rolex rep so people can decide which one to get. I guess may be we can ask the mod to link up 2 posts together.

With the modern 16600 Sea-Dweller reps, no matter who it's from, seem to all have the same problems-

-Case/caseback/bezel is typically not thick enough or not the right angle/shape

-Wrong He valve; either the wrong shape/size and always the wrong material (genuine is made from Ti)

-Crystal is too large in diameter, and the bezel/insert is also incorrect diameter as a result

-Crystal is not thick enough

Why? Because most 16600's are based on a Submariner case, which is wrong for a SD.

Yeah Randy,

you are so right....

There is no accurate modern SD out there.....too bad...

The older MBW Submariners has great cases,but there are also a lot of flaws...

But they are better constructed,i`´ve heard about better materials 440er steel,thick safir,etc....

They are good for Frankenprojects....
