bosk Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Super review. I'm hoping TTK restocks his MBWs. I'm deciding about this one or a DRSD. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brook0 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Great review! Very informative with wonderful pictures. You are doing a buyers guide? So the noobmariner may be the one all Rolex lovers should have ($99.00) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmena Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I had the same watch in the past, modded by Palpatine with gen tube and crown and CG's modded a bit. I sold it and I got repented, so I bought another one from TTK which I received last week. Taking in account that I had this watch modded before, I have it now again without mods and that I have a friend of mine with a gen that I had the opportunity to compare with last weekend, I would like to make some comments to people thinking about making mods to this watch: NO NEED OF MODS UNLESS YOU ARE A VERY PICKY PERSON No way to spot this is a rep while you have it in your wrist. The bezel insert is very very close to genuine in color and brightness. Only pearl may be a bit different but I've been making window shopping in Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddhead Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 @vmena and BKLM1234 I was really hoping someone would provide feedback on these new breed MBW's. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertk Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 noobmariner is a great starter sub, no doubt. -bk I've got both and unless you're a verrry picky person, the noobmariner for $99 is the best value out there. They are very close. The MBW is a definite if you intend to to all the mods..........picky,picky,picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itreeman Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Great review BK. I am still waiting on my LV MBW from TTK. Is it a norm that the MBW's are NOT waterproof? All my other reps have gone swimming right out of the box with no problems whatsoever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmena Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Take care with the water... my first MBW 16610 was not waterproof at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdk Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My lv mbw, isnt waterproof either. But it had the gen crown, and tube installed, so that must be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
