Edge Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well Ladies and Genltemen, it is with Great pleasure that I can now give to you the Save a Dutch Kid's Birthday Fund Watch, jees that's a mouthfull. Anyway I would like to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who donated to this cause and to thank EVERYONE for their kind words, this has been a very long and worthwhile project and I am glad to be involved. Special thanks go to Luckyyy for providing this little beauty within our budget. It is with great pleasure that I give to you the Fund Watch and without any further a-do or procrastinating...... A couple next to it's older brother..... The only thing I have noticed is the difference in datewheel and magnification, my MBW has not had the crystal changed yet the mag looks better on mine and also the datefont looks bolder, just a quick observation, and YES my MBW has some alignment issues thanks to my tinkering, but all will be fixed soon. An example of what I mean.... Anyway just thought I would keep y'all informed as this was a group effort, so THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH, you can be VERY PROUD of yourselves. Enjoy! Edge!

HighDef Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Edge,, look like the bezel, insert and case is a tad bigger and longer on the new MBW. What gives,,they are both MBW,, right?? Just my eyes maybe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Edge,, look like the bezel, insert and case is a tad bigger and longer on the new MBW. What gives,,they are both MBW,, right?? Just my eyes maybe?? Optical illusion just checked and bth watches have IDENTICAL dimensions. The illusion of the bezel and insert is prolly from the non shinyness of my bezel and the different colour of the insert, as for the case dimensions they look a little off due to the heght it's sitting at, beacuse one is on the thicker Oyster band and one is on a riveted. BOTH are MBW. Free MBW, now do I know how to throw a fundraiser or what? lol Hope The Little Dutch Punk Likes it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 IM HERE!!!!!!!! JUST GOT BACK FROM SCHOOL! Apparently it wasnt appreciated when I said id go to the bathroom and instead i went to the computer lab to check the forums.....got caught.....hehehe. Guys, as Edge pointed out, I had posted a thank you on the other forum JUST in time for school, so I wasnt able to get on here! Anyway, I cant wait to get my hands on that beauty! Ken gave me a wonderful golden daytona asia, which is an absolute beauty and holds many sentiments! To get a little loonier, Nanuq and Ubi as well have sent me goodies!!! Cant wait to see those in a months time when I get to holland! Thanks a lot and those will never ever leave my (now rapidly!) growing collection!! Now, to all members who emailed me, Pm'd me, and even donated, thanks a TON guys!!! The feeling of being stolen from is horrible and you guys made me absolutely forget all about it! The whole fiasco has turned around sooooooooooo nicely, its amazing!! Literally am speechless to tell you a truth on all the generosity! I will be here much much much more after 2 weeks time, since I hardly have time to post due to the work load nowadays (teachers thought it would be good to each give essays and oral presentations as well as group projects and economics commentaries.....AT THE SAME TIME!!) Anyway, PROMISE to be here much much much more, really!! All the very best to all, Floris (The Dutch Kid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
