predfan2001 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 All I can say is great! I'm glad that these MBWs are now sold by Joshua. Maybe the line will expand. I sure could use a 5512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cib0rgman Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I do not about you guys, but these babies are hard to find, I have a MBW 1680 that I bought from George Two years ago. There are other sources as we all know, it all depends what price you want to pay and how much do you are willing to wait until it arrives to you door. I still need the MBW White 1665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 when i buy my great white, I will be calling TTK. I dont care who who sells them, I trust him and appreciate getting what I ordered... not that I may not get what one from another dealer, but for many reasons I trust Neil. just my 2 cents...

ehtolcad Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 alas the ttk crew will be loyal to ttk and the josh/andrew crew will be loyal to them. the world will keep spinning, and the white lies will keep coming. this continues to be an area where you have to ask yourself where exactly is that line where white lies turn into something much uglier. how appropriate is the phrase fool me once, fool me twice...in some cases people will allow themselves to be fooled over and over and over again. either way, i'm sure there will be dissection and photo reviews and comparisons, so those will be threads almost as interesting as this one.

hambone Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I know one thing for certain and that is when you order this watch it is not going to be any longer than a couple of weeks max until it is delivered at your door. That is worth the extra couple of bucks versus months of waiting and unanswered emails, and after too much time has passed, the person buying the watch dares to complain about it in this forum only to be labeled a jackass or other such ripe expletives by the seller for their trouble.

Stephane Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Stephane, why not forget the ten MBK's for 185$ each and go fora nice case from Vietnam. Why not ? How are we going to call these cases from Vietnam now? VBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Only the pricerange is the problem.... Most of the fellow members know you can get the MBW/MBK for about 185$ in BK Bump... ....don't know which exchange rate calculator you are using but you ain't getting an MBK Sub for $185.... 7,500 thai baht is the going rate last I heard....that is currently $245 per xe.com...could be less if you're inside the kindgdom as diff xchange rate is used....

kingkitesurf Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Olli is so right on this one... These are MBW's... Just the best base to mod and fit gen movements in. I hope these don't go mainstream or they lose value quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well... I will delay my MBW-purchase until Silix and Ruby start selling them..... :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dax Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well... I've learnt something worth knowing today reading this thread! Just confirms from whom I should buy mbk from. That aside, I'm interested to know (and prob a few others) what differences -if any - between Neil's and Josh's MBKs. As they should both have come from MBK ? And the price diff... you make up your own mind on that one. As for Skype, like any other program that initates two comms, there is always a certain amount of risk. I'm sure you all use a real time AV and a firewall (use a third party one ie not MS) I've been a Security consultant for over 10yrs so I know a little about the subject. Never had a problem with skype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have been looking for those Vietnam cases, can someone send the link to their website Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 even if they are true MBW's... why would you buy one from Josh for $398 + $30 shipping when you can get one quality controlled from TTK for $350 shipped? Who cares if the Cartel has a source, they are still $80 more than TTK. If TTK took paypal, then i would impulse buy a red 1680 right now!!

UB7 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I think this is great that other dealers are offering these watches, competition amongst dealers is good for us consumers..I guess we should all stop speculating, lets just wait till a member gets 1 and reviews it and than we can be certain that these are the real deal...They look good to me, and if they accept gen parts than its well worth the $, I will be buying one from Andrew as soon as a member reviews one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 since you know the price you could have easilly posted it! I know the price in Baht, not US Dollars. Why should I know the exact price in US Dollars? 7500 Thai Baht for those who can be bothered to do the maths, but that's already been posted in this thread.

Guest TTK Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 @dadog....there is no 'secret'nor myth any more surrounding MBW / MBk watches ....ALL vintage and modern steel verisions are as follows. OVER THE COUNTER PRICES. All steel models vintage and modern = 7500 baht....! All two tone models......=10,000 baht....! All AP & PP non-chronograph versions.....= 10,000 baht...! All AP ROO Chronographs......= 13,500 baht. To work it out in your local currency please visit www.xe.com CURRENCY CONVERTER PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE PRICES ABOVE ARE FOR A WALK-IN BUY.......NOT FOR A DEALER DELIVERED PRICE.

eddhead Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 It doesn't look worn-in after a few years......it looks ugly and cheap!!! Just my opinion!!! I spent $250/year just to have it buffed by a Rolex dealer! $250??? rip off !! I get get it done at a Rolex AD for $30.00, and it looks great. Beats the crap out of sapphire.
