lefty47 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I ordered my Patek Nautilus Jumbo from Andrew on Dec. 19 at 8:30 PM EST and received it at my home in the US Midwest on Dec. 24 at 1:30 PM. This was my 10th order from Andrew and his service was, as usual, outstanding. Let me begin by saying that I won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thx for sharing. :thumbsup: As far as I remember, TTK mentionned in the past that the original has not a screw-down crown. The problem I see in this crown is that it's pretty difficult to manually wind when you want to start it... As for the bracelet, I am wondering if finally I should not change my tools ..?

lefty47 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Regarding tools-a few years back I purchased one of those Swiss Army type knives that is designed for watch repairs and adjustments. It was advertised in one of the common Watch Magazines. I think I paid about $100 for it. Anyway, it has some very small screw driver heads which worked well on the Nautilus Bracelet.

Corgi Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The problem I see in this crown is that it's pretty difficult to manually wind when you want to start it... A thin piece of fabric, like a shirt or bedsheet over your fingers and then wind it and it should be no hassle. I was irritated with this as well at first. But the Thai MBK quality is just so much "above" the other Chinese watches I have, even the really good ones. It's just so tight, so solid, so perfect.

hiker01 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) I got the same watch from Joshua and I'm pretty sure they're the same as Andrew's, they get them from the same source. I have the same problem, crown too small for my fingers!! Be carefull with the small screw that holds the clasp on the bracelet 'cause it might be loose. I almost lost mine......... I forgot to add Daytona4me's review of this watch: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=64936 Edited December 30, 2007 by HikeUSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
