hank7502 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 One dealer has the MBW GMT with the 2836 movement. One dealer has the GMT with a swiss 2893-2 movement. The MBW is $350.00 the other GMT is $450.00. I am confused. Which one would you buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmena Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 OMG... I don't see any reason why Joshua is chargin 450 USD for a GMT with the wrong red hand and wrong date font... I guess we are loosing perspective on pricing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 That is a tough call! the major selling point for josh's for me is the adjustable gmt hand i think it has a nicer dial and crown ... what i like about the MBW's is that they have that really nice crystal... everything else on it isn't selling it for me ... but i would be sold on the crystal alone... i had a gun to my head and was forced to choose i would go for josh's.... no wait .... the MBW and then mod the hell out of it you've got to have that beveled crystal.... i guess it depends if you just want wear it out-of the-box or if you want to mod it .

I guess we are loosing perspective on pricing... it is the movement. hard to find a 2893 with a much lower price tag. If you are a movement freak and many here are, this is probably a tough call unless you want to invest in modding the MBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triosLescano Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 One dealer has the MBW GMT with the 2836 movement. One dealer has the GMT with a swiss 2893-2 movement. The MBW is $350.00 the other GMT is $450.00. I am confused. Which one would you buy? I have your problem: I have modded a vintage GMT and here I want to realize a modern GMT I am thinking which watch to use like base. Perhaps the best is to use a standard TW ETA for $ 200 + aftermarket dial & gmt hand+ aftermarket bezel & bezel insert + gen band. The problem is the glass, it must have the laser crown nearly invisibile But the final price of this modding is hig, perhaps is preferible to realize a vintage. If it pleases to you to a GMT "out of the box" you buy a a Precioustime/Eddielee ecc.. and you replace bezel whit a after as Clarks Watch Parts , or othrt economic ! You have a honest watch so similar to Gen. Attention ! Bezel + bezel insert, non only insert (see pic) Ps: MBW? I have emailed the MBW GMT seller (TTK) but I have not never had answer. It does not appeal to me to a seller who makes itself to wish too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 2893-2 is more aexpensive and more reliable. 2836-2 modified is cheapper and GMT might work or may not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
