A review of one of the most famous toolwatches ever.

Being a symbol for all: reliability, road capability, utility value and even increasing the last, it started out of a true functional idea.

We need to start a little earlier.

Wow, what a fantastic write up. I may just grab a bag of popcorn later and re-read it! Thanks so much for this glimpse into the history of such a great watch!

[Stephane]

What the hell can one say ?

This is the best review I've ever read, really.

In one post only I learned all I should know about the history of the watch that is going to be delivered to me in a couple of weeks.

Congrats to you but not only: Thank you very much for spending ? a week ? to put it all toghether ?

Bravo!

[flyback]

Thank you very much for this informative post!

[brwnrice]

Excellent post to-date by far. I liked the way how you contrasted gen's vs. rep's and the history. Thanks for posting.

[triosLescano]

Very good post.

My contribution: I task that one of the most large defect of vintage MBW is the writing at six, it is too much long and touches the railroad of the seconds

Is impossible to correct it without to replace the dial.

See these photos of GEN

What a great review!!

Thank you.

[thewightstuff]

that was a really enjoyable read. thanks for taking the time to post something you are clearly very interested in.

[Warrcraft]

Man...that was a very informative and enlightening tutorial. The "follow along" pictures (especially the one's from Warrcraft lol) helped "paint a picture" with your detailed description. That entire tutorial must have taken much research and a lot of time to put together, I will be sure to refer to it for my future mod jobs!

Again...great job!

[dluddy]

WOW, that was an extremely well researched and informative review. Puts the whole "Mod" thing in perspective and really highlights the value of starting with an MBW case. Well done and thanks for sharing

[bigmouth]

[Seadweller4000]

Thank you all for your kind words, it wasfun doin' it and very informative. In fact, I had collected so much information that I forgot half of it - but I think it carries enough information, already... Don't wanna bore you guys.

Updated with some info regarding the "Polex" and some beautiful pictures from TTK he allowed me to use.

Cheers.
