1665fan Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hello, I would like to hear your opinions about the MBW 1665. Which one is the most "perfect" rep in your eyes, which dial is closest to the original thing? The Great white or the DRSD? Would be great to hear something about that from you! Kind regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahchard Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I think white is the closest... with regards to the dial... and also the caseback ( i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I think that the general concensus is that the MBW white dial is a bit more accurate (or should I say, less inaccurate) than the red. However, neither are close enough to fool an expert. The backs of the MBW are correct for the red, but incorrect for the white (although believe that some of the correct GW case backs have shown up lately). For me, it's red only. The red watch has a mystique that the GW does not share. (Plus, I love the Superdome, which was not original to the GW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 For pure aesthetics I think the red wins. The GW is a little 'anaemic' for me. Oh, and the best one will be mine when it is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Uh ? why not both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethebest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Uh ? why not both I was waiting for you to reply like this, Stephane!!!!!! You have two of the best reps I've ever seen (and I look to them frequently when I am in a bad mood). I still wonder who is the pure modder/artist . Since a vote is requested i say double red, no doubt, and more likely to be found on a wrist !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Love my GW, but if I could do it over again, I'd probably go with a DR. Caseback matches the DR, plus you can justify the superdome. Also, the DR is such a legend.... Whatever you decide, can't really go wrong. It is a killer watch. Won't leave your wrist.

dieselpower Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 OK Stephane that was just not funny. No way no how. The poor chap wants to know which one to choose and you go and show off those two beauties, he has no choice now, you've just cost him twice as much. Have you no heart?

tmg Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Uh ? why not both I agree Stephane, why does it have to be either or! Frankly, I'm partial to Red myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Whatever you do, stay away from the great white! It is one POS ugly ducklin'. If concerned about the Great White not having the correct case back and you're stuck with the T-39 flat crystal, keep in mind that the RR dials were swapped out by RSC for the white.

yellomen Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 ...although believe that some of the correct GW case backs have shown up lately... could you tell me where a correct GW caseback can be found? ... I love the Superdome, which was not original to the GW.. Uh... didn't no this... so the GW was only diliverred with the flat T39? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 F, nothing wrong with a T-39 Superdome on a Great White. The gen crystal is a thing of beauty, even on a Seiko. This white gen was snagged up recently for $13.5K, plus shipping. No flat top on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thanx Jetson... i already assumed the superdome T39 was installed as aftermarket quite often. Great looking raildial btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking raildial btw Your welcome, F. The rail dial is a beauty & rare little b*stards. Another GW with the infamous T-39 Superdome.
