alt.watch.obsessive Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Looking at the CGs I think that's the new ultimate seadweller from Angus. 1 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Movement, Caseback = GENUINE Dial = REDIAL Case, Bezel, Crystal = CRAPPY REP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I think this isa Franken one.... The shape of the Case is wrong in my opinion... Also Bezel,Insert Dial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 If you see the tube, you know it's sure fake! BMW: It's MBW case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 yeah looks a little small for a triplock tube LOL.. Who would spend all the $ to build that and then butcher it with a minor detail like not using a gen crown and tube? case looks way to skinny to me and bezel must be thin becasue look how high that superdome sticks up!!

1665fan Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Look at the gas escape......easy to spot. Like before mentioned the tube is also a exclamation mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 It's a zinger no doubt. Case tube, yikes- have to be a rep crown to fit that POS. Movement # is late, which is OK, but the case SN is totally bogus- Rolex didn't go to 10 million and 1.5 million is 1965-66- oops! Pearl is outrageous- MBW? or cheap rep. Lug holes, case profile, and HE valve all suck. And I'm not too sure about the datewheel on the 1575 movt- it's sucky too. Why would someone go to the trouble to put a 1575 movt in such a bad case? What a sloppy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Opps, I was trigger happy Rosnik -I meant to hit agree. Surprising, as this seller always lists a bunch of gens and movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The bezel insert is sure MBW. Wile, I sow a lot of better 1665 than this on RWG!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 everything fake except movement+dial the case and bezel aren't even MBW -bk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The vintage rollies have open 6/9's datewheels. This cant even be called a frank, hell it must be frank's sister.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The vintage rollies have open 6/9's datewheels.Sorry you're wrong - the 6 on 26 is closed on my gen c.1570 silver flat top DW As I said before, this is basically a gen c.1570, a decent redial plus a gen caseback >>>> $750-850 + $150ish + $300ish = about $1250 total. Pay anything over and you've been had. The case I'm not even sure is MBW, it's fairly crappy, and for that alone it's misrepresentation at best, scamming at worst Nothing much more to say.

Guest avitt Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The case doesn't look like an MBW to me...Look at the base of the crown guard. It is hidden by the bezel. On an MBW, the base of the guard stands proud of the bezel by about 1mm (for reference, see post by Pugwash, where he has "Pugged" his guards). Also the lugs look too thin.
