Red Mbw 1680 From Luckyyy

Recommended Posts

Hi, I´ve just received a 1680 mbw from luckyyy. if you are reading this Luckyyy, thanks for this beatiful watch.

Well, it arrived at my office today, after three weeks. I had patience and i was told to wait. When it arrived i was so happy that i didn´t even ask the guy from letters and parcels about why they didn´t told me that.

I asked luckyyy for a white submariner, but he may considered i´d like the red instead.

I noticed that the lume on the dots don´t glow in the dark and the hands very little, but that is an easy fix.

the thing that bothered me a bit is that the bezel doesn´t sound, it doesnt play clicks, i thik it may be damaged, any fix?

all in all this is a very good looking watch...

but i will change the crown and the insert, and i will try to wonder whats about the bezel. Regards!

Thanks Nanuq, you see i still have to learn a lot about vintages.

The thing i noticed is that the holes in the lugs are very small. See pic 3 and you´ll know what i am talking about.

I will change the crown, make holes bigger and put genuine springbars. Genuine cristal, sure!

What about changing movement and buying a Schild like ubiquitous does? It is just because the direction of the datewheel.

The hands are very new. I think I´ll need to vintagize it before wearing it.

But i feel lucky about having this precious watch in my hands.

:3a:

Excellent choice....i wish i could get an MBW watch but luckyyy doesnt even respond to my email (i didnt even blast him with tonnes...just 2 emails) ....how did you manage to get him to reply to you when you only joined a couple of months ago?

The correct datewheel is not valid for current etas.

Ofrei sells them, but it counts opposite eta datewheel does. <_<

So we have to change the whole movement. Right Randy? :)

Correct, Manuel! The genuine Rolex cal 1570/5 has the datewheel rotating counterclockwise (ETAs rotate clockwise)...

Genuine silver datewheels:

And A.Schild movements (note the datewheel rotation):

Buena compra Manuel :Jumpy: No sé cómo serás capaz de esperar a hacerle los cambios antes de ponértelo y darle un paseo. Nadie se dará cuenta :whistling:.

Disfrútalo con salud y mucha juerga! :Jumpy::Jumpy::Jumpy:

(sorry, just a bit of mother tonge).

Oh no - I am terribly sorry to hear that you got one of those sad pieces of junk. The quality of reps these days! Who can you trust?

Tell you what, send it to me, and try again. I'll give you what you paid for it.

Am I a helpful kind of guy or what?

Hi Bill, thanks for your kind offer. At first i tought it was broken, but nanuq told me thats teh way vintage bezels are and that rolex later changed that because it was bad and risky for diver people.

I am not going to sell it, the more i see it the more i like it :wub:

I was luckyyy and i love the raised crystal profile, it is much coherent to have a sub that would pass as an inherit watch than a shiny new sub...(i am 22)

Faide, PM sent

Regards and thanks a lot for your comments ^_^

Well I must say that I admire your strength and resilence, but if anyone else out there has one of these miserable MBW's, I'll relieve you of it . . . my generosity knows no bounds.

@ubiquitous hmmm but i understood only Luckyy can source watches that accept gen parts. To tell the truth i have also heard about watchmaster/exwatchmaster but havent seen any of his stuff.

Care to enlighten me pls?
