XRT Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 This version is by far the best one available. Yes, the dial is 'waffle textured'...my photo skills due this no justice.
UncleJay Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Yep, send it to me, I'm a professional photog .......... again I promise to send her back.
Jetsons Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Awesome, XRT! I didn't think that was an MBW dial. When UncleJay is done, I'd like to take photos of this beauty as well.
XRT Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 This dial is major step up from the MBW/WM dial. I sold this watch to another member about 6months ago...he sent it to The Zigmeister to put on the NDT dial, and then he got bored of it...so I bought it back. Man, this is now a serious keeper. It is amazing how a dial can change your entire feeling about a watch.
JoJo35 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 XRT, you have a keeper! I wonder what the total cost would be to replicate this? Is the MBW '41 even available anymore?
XRT Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Posted April 21, 2008 I'm not sure...I haven't seen this one around for a while. I have an extra bezel and insert (from Classicwatchparts.com) if we need to make another one if sellers' remorse strikes XRT, you have a keeper! I wonder what the total cost would be to replicate this? Is the MBW '41 even available anymore?
bertieng Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Is this Milgauss a MBK based? It will take the classicwatchparts w/o mods? Thanks.
Stephane Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Awesome, XRT! I didn't think that was an MBW dial. When UncleJay is done, I'd like to take photos of this beauty as well. I'm next on the list please...this must be pictured in my country too...we some nice monuments
XRT Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Posted April 21, 2008 It is MBW/WM based and it takes genuine parts. Is this Milgauss a MBK based? It will take the classicwatchparts w/o mods? Thanks.
bertieng Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 It is MBW/WM based and it takes genuine parts. Thanks for the info. BTW, where do you get the hand set? Are they the original MBW as the current version of the second hand is all painted red. Also does it need to redrill and tap to fit in the gen. crown/tube?
lazarini Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 Sweeet sweeet watch ... love it! regards Laz
XRT Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Posted April 22, 2008 This is the original hand set from the WM/MBW base. The crown and tube were already installed on this watch when I bought it directly from Watchmaster. I'm not sure if he drilled and tapped the crown tube opening. Thanks for the info. BTW, where do you get the hand set? Are they the original MBW as the current version of the second hand is all painted red. Also does it need to redrill and tap to fit in the gen. crown/tube?
