Guest RiverwindMDS Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Is there nobody here that could give me an opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSmoot Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It depends on how hung up on details you might be. I like the watch and the rehaut is better than most. A couple of problems I have noticed with this watch is that the pearl is flat (new bezel will correct that) and the date mag is to far to the right (much harder to fix)...

bklm1234 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 These are problems I can easly fix, I wanted to know about the case. Anybody have other opinions? It's the same thing as Josh's/Silix's/Angus'/Ruby's/Andrew's exp sub. I don't like it. The rehaut is very conical. The date window is too big and squarish and too far to the right. The cyclop has too much magnification. Not good enough for a MBW owner like you. - bm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hiya Doc, I'd call it a very reasonably priced, mid-grade watch. There are better watches. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Riverwind, it would be helpful if Sash would post a profile photo that would illustrate the thickness of the crystal. It's not clear from his photo #4. The gen has a thick and beveled crystal. River's TW Best 16610 is quite good in this regard, for example: http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b327/riv...nt=DSCN4963.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Taking Jet's thoughts on the TW Best case one step further, I'd then buy Paul's so called Perfect LV: http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1144 and I'd marry the two watches. Use Paul's dial, hands and movement in the TW case, attach Paul's hollow mid-link band to it, and trim the crown guards. Some genuine parts, a bezel insert, case tube and crown would bring you to the point of perfection. You could put the other spare parts together and give that watch to your favorite brother-in-law, a nephew, or sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put the other spare parts together and give that watch to your favorite brother-in-law, a nephew, or sell it. That's an excellent idea, Alligoat. You can simply take the whole movement, dial, hands as a unit and transfer it to River's TW Best. You end up having a spare movement (it's also a 2836-2 inside River's). I went the longer route. I ordered the dial (it's a black sub dial of the so-called perfect from Paul, cheap, $8 only). I changed the dial, put the hands back in. It fits perfectly. I bought a noobmariner bracelet for $30 from a member. Essentially your way is more costly but a whole lot more convenient and you don't have to wait and fish for a bracelet. Too bad the caseback doesn't fit the TW Best, otherwise one more useful part out of the so-called. -bm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 one flaw on River's TW Best that I want to let you know. The left side of the case is rounded at the edges. The right side is ok. Some smart factory work thinks it's a good idea to round the edges, kinda look like datejust's sides a little. It doesn't bother me though.
