Lutero Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasTTaP Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 That's a CN version, not a MBK. You can get a MBK via Eurotimez (mail him), Paso, and, of course TTK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutero Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The MBK versions use a ETA 2836-2. They can easily be identified by the "swiss made" on the bottom of the dial.

LordRasta Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The fit & finish on the MBK/MBW is far superior. The Chinese one is close...but no cigar . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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.

jeff g Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) 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.

FasTTaP Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 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?
