rckh Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Dear Buddies: I have been lay low for quite a moment; Why? Because I'm goto make a serious decision on my rep journey.....After collecting different type, brand on watches. I found myself keep step forward on my requirment; I want better & better & better.... MBW alway be a legendary, Mystery & interesting rep. Many members said they're the best on quality, overall finish & the closest to Gen. However, We couldn't found too many informations, review or trusty source to get them. After a long hurt; source finally came across me. I read all the post on RWG,TRC,RWI about this watch & make a comparson with the china one. This is the one I'm ready to pull the trigger: MBW AP Royal Oak Offshore Black dial. The most important thing is : I'll go for the 25J ETA7750 movement (As all we knew MBW only use old A7750 21.6k movement ---> not a reliable movement in my experience). Here I show u the photos by my dealer; stay tune I'll post a full review & photos after I got it! BTW, my only conern is the band. Same old story my thinny 16cm wrist always give me trouble. Any member could teach me how to remove the permanent links? Or it'll fit for me after remove all the removable link?

rckh Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 15.11.2007 Progress Update: My dealer had finished the QC & will ship it out tomorrow. My dealer send the follow photos for me to confirm: Everythings look great except the movement holder a little bit dirty; but I'll deal it myself P.S: My dealer also told me that I got the last one "Black-Dial", I'm not sure that mean "Discontinue" or "Out-Of-Stock".....

mezzanine Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I think you're going to be very pleased. I don't know what the dial quality is like on the black 'themes' dial that you chose, but the one on my MBK ROO is the best I've seen. The finish is quite good. I didn't know what to expect as far as the case/bracelet, after hearing that it was the same as the chinese version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Here is mine... Best looking black dial....can't wait to see the Panda dial..... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yeah, that Panda dial looks really good. I have to agree with the person who said that the OP is vaulting to the top of the rep world in one shot. I'm hoping to get the crystal on mine AR'd relatively soon. If there was ever a dial that begged to be AR'd, it's the one on my Offshore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobico Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 How is your new AP strap? Just curious if its better than your old one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckh Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Long story.....QC problem & I send it back 2 weeks ago. Until now I still haven't got my watch back. I already got the strap from APBand. First impression; quality is much better than Oracle straps. But I can tell u all; It's a terrible experience to install an AP straps....very difficult....U need extra patient to made it......(Much more difficult to remove the SS band from 3717....) story for the review; I'll write as soon as I got my watch back..... Dawn.... Best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
