yaron Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 A friend of mine returned from bangkok and brought me this DRSD from MBK. Looks like a "MBW rep" to me. I wonder what the rolex experts think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahchard Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 you can only get mbw/mbk reps at mbk shopping centre... you wont find them in the city i dont think... price from 7500 baht. i have friends in bkk that buy reps in their local malls and actually pay more than what our collectors are offering them...

DuDro Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Don't waste your time wandering the city...Just go to the MBK Shopping Mall! The "MBW Shop" is located on the first floor. If you enter the MBK Center at the entrance closest to the KFC, the "MBW Shop" is down the same hall as the KFC. If I remember the stall number is 36-68. Have fun there...I was there last Fall and came back with four AWESOME watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Easiest way to spot the shop, it is directly across GIORDANO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munk Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 OK i guess i know where to find the shop now. I bought my yacthmaster there 3yrs ago for about 6500baht. He's the only person offering ETA movement reps at the malls. Will check what he got there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaron Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) You are right friends, he bought the watch in the same shop you are talking about, costed about 7500 Bat (~$220). The guy claimed it has ETA 2836 movement. They have there also nice AP offshore (Panda dial?) with SS bracelet for about $400, a very "heavyweight" watch and I think some PP. The prices are quite fix , not like in the PatPong market. Edited March 4, 2008 by yaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munk Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 patpong market selling craps man. they don't know [censored] about movement the last time i went. I hope the MBK shop got good n new stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noslen Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Easiest way is to go in the Pathumwan Hall entrance (KFC on your right), turn right then opposite 1B20 is MBW store. Nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Babies Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 About a month ago, I was there and bought a vintage MBW SRSD. The shop owner claimed it has a Swiss ETA movement. All [censored]! After wearing for 2 weeks after my BK trip, I realised the hour hand is not aligned to the hour indices. (ie., when at 6pm, my hour hand is b/w 5 and 6, when my min hand is at 12) So i brought the watch to my local watchmaker for repair. Guess what...... i discovered it has a crappy Asian clone and the one of the gear has very short teeth, so the hour hand tends to move irregularly. I paid 7,500bht for a crappy MBW SRSD! If you want to buy their watches, please open the back case to inspect. I dont want to be in my position. Easiest way is to go in the Pathumwan Hall entrance (KFC on your right), turn right then opposite 1B20 is MBW store. Nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The easiest way might be to look for the name of the shop 'Nah Pliek' As the prior poster alludes - don't expect Rolls Royce candy coated service there tho (you're just another Falang 'walking ATM' to him) or for that matter much to see, or reciprocal enthusiasm for Rollie 'minutiae speak'. The reason for the markup of the suppliers of these watches on the fora is mostly to cover the selection, warranty, gtees etc expected here........but categorically not found at MBK. .

munk Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Just got back from bangkok. Never get any watches from MBK due to out of stock. I was looking for the vintage rolex but have to order at least for a week. damn!!!. he offer me the new 16610 sub wif engraving on the rehaut doesn't look good to me for 7500bt. he got the new AP offshore black n red in color for 13,000bt for leather or 17,000bt for bracelet. looks good but out of my budget. The best thing is he thought dat my SSD is genuine...haha. Planing for the next trip soon....haha Edited April 30, 2008 by munk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Please pardon my naivete here but, with the location of this stall so well known now, how come the local authorities have not tried to shut this place down yet? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering. It is because he don't display the ROLEX REP. He only display similar design but the dial is not rolex so the authorities won't stop by his shop i guess. It's only if u ask he will show it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robj Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Why would they? This is Bangkok. There are a huge amount of stalls around the city selling contraband goods and they're all known to the authorities. Because they are very active of late with raids almost daily in all the regular locations. So it's only a matter of time before the tame policeman gets moved to another office and they get busted. There is a new squad simular to the regional crime squad that are doing all the raids apparently they are on a bonus system for the amount of goods they uncover. Quite a few have been busted one girl I know lost 10 million Baht (about $300000) 2 months ago so it's not so safe, they are targeting the middle dealers as well as the bigger dealers now the only people getting away with it like the old days are the street vendors. Anything the slightest bit organized is being targeted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) And raiding Nah Piek would acheive what exactly????? He carries f**k all in the way of stock on the premises, save for half a dozen cheap Silbersteins and a few no names in his display....(all throwaways). .
