MBW Nautilus Doubts

[Lutero]

Is this a MBW or a Chinese version of Nautilus?

Where can I buy a real MBW? What is the best replica of Patek Nautilus? What are the difference between MBW/MBK and Chinese version of Nautilus

Thanks

That's a CN version, not a MBK.

You can get a MBK via Eurotimez (mail him), Paso, and, of course TTK.

[Lutero]

They shop online?

Is The movement MBK/MBW swiss eta moviment 2824/2 or 21j Asian automatic?

Where can see photos?

Sorry for my bad English and thanks

The MBK versions use a ETA 2836-2. They can easily be identified by the "swiss made" on the bottom of the dial.

This is the MBK version. (MBW to us old timers)

Notice the dial has a "grid" pattern instead of "dots". The dial on the "Blue" MBK version is always like this. Not sure about the

black dial.

What are the difference between MBW/MBK and Chinese version of Nautilus

The CN version was repped from the MBK. So it is a rep of a rep.

The fit & finish on the MBK/MBW is far superior.

The Chinese one is close...but no cigar

For me, the deal breaker was the fit and finish of the bracelet, and this is where the MBK shines.

Where the CN version fails and is notorious in not only the Nautilus, but many other bracelet reps is the noticeable gap between links. The MBK version (I have the black unconnected dot dial) has very very minor, if any bracelet gaps and curves well within the contours of the wrist.

I know that someone is trying to sell his MBK Jumbo since a while ...

IT IS NOT TRUE that the MBK/MBW version of the Nautilus came ONLY with the connected dot pattern.

Quite a lot of us ordered the origianl MBK Nautilus with the UNconnected dot pattern. TTK and his offering of this watch was not the only dealer selling this watch last summer...fortunately.

I ordered and received my MBK Nautilus with Unconnected dots from a RWG dealer and received it in two weeks.

I did not order it from TTK.

Until the arrival of my new Breitling Heritage, the MBK Nautilus was the only watch I wore.

The MBK Nautilus is without doubt, one of the best of the best reps, ever.

To be clear: MBK with blue face: connected dot, with black face: correct unconnected dot.

And yes, the MBK PP Nautilus is amazing as a rep, quality and finish are up to a gen Rolex/Omega (probably not up to a gen PP, but still, impressive)

The Chinese version suffers of an average clasp finishing... (see my review in signature).

Still I wear the CN watch a lot

Lutero-

The one you have is definitely CN version. If you want to upgrade to the MBK you now have both an offer from an EU private seller and a trusted dealer to source it Are you going to go for it?
