vmena Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 there are lots available.....from Explorer I / II.....to Comex...Milgauss......SRSD...SRSub...etc etc.... The question is: which of MBW's models are worth the extra money (apart the vintages, BTW)? I wouldn't be happy paying extra money for a GMT if same model can be found for 100 USD less in a std dealer... you see my point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be happy paying extra money for a GMT if same model can be found for 100 USD less in a std dealer... you see my point? vmena -- good point, but I am only interested in vintages and I assume (based on previous MBWs) that they will be more accurate than the average reps sold by most dealers and that they will accept gen parts (bezels, crowns, tubes, etc.). TTK -- I sent you a message a few days ago about the Daytona 16520 in your photobucket catalog, but this is the gen non-date 5513 Comex Sub that I and apparently others would be interested in as an MBW -- Also, in your travels, have you come across any sources for vintage Daytonas (other than DW or EE) that have the correct asymmetrical pusher arrangement, correct dials and working chronos? There is a Japanese site that has a number of reps that look like DWs (they appear to have the correct asymmetrical pusher layout in his photos, but it could just be due to the angle of the watch), but I cannot read Japanese so I do not know any of the construction details. I think they are priced at 35,000 yen, which translates to just under $300USD. Not too bad if they are what they appear to be. The site owner responded to my initial email asking if he has an English language section (no), but would not provide any construction details and he has ignored my two additional emails asking about two specific watches on his site. This is one of them -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hmmmm... I don't see a 16520 in TTK's PB account... Only a 116509 and 116520... Which item are you looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ubi - 'EL1' (black dial 16520 Daytona) , the last item on TTK's photobucket '0003 All Rolex' catalog page http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/keys...%20ALL%20ROLEX/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 That's a gen... I believe I may even know the owner of that one in particular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 That's a gen... I believe I may even know the owner of that one in particular... Oops -- I thought the watches in TTK's photobucket catalog (excepting those in his All My Genuine Watches pages) were for sale. I guess that explains why I liked it so much.

bbell6 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I tried to send you an e-mail but your box was full. I'm interested in a white 1680 and/or possibly a vintage explorer 1 and/or a 5513 military depending on what is available. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 How about a 6541 Milgauss with the correct small twinlock crown and plexi crystal? This photo is from Scotty (years ago) and was an early MBW. For kicks, how about a 6542 GMT? You could easily take a thin case, size it like the 6536, add this small crown and toss in an ETA GMT movement. Most important is the CORRECT bezel and no crown guards. There's your challenge. Make one, and you'll sell billions of them. I wish someone would make the 1st incarnation Milgauss rep again... What I mean is, I hope MBW makes one.
