Seadweller4000 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) 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. 1927.

brwnrice Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Excellent post to-date by far. I liked the way how you contrasted gen's vs. rep's and the history. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triosLescano Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrcraft Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 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 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadweller4000 Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) 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.
