jgpp63 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Have searched the site and looked at lots of the dealers but can't find a 5513 with white print on the dial as it should be, think even the Mbk have it the same as the markers, can anyone point me in the right direction, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 MBK should be white print and fairly white markers (lume). Tough to find otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 If the MBK/MBW does not meet your rep standards, they you should consider 1 of the Vietnamese frankens. Because, below that, the MBKs rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgpp63 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks Alligoat, I thought that the MBK had print that was yellowish same as the hour/minute markers that the other dealers sell.Will have another look at the MBK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The yellowish is indeed a pain. I will post some pics soon as I had my 5513 with NDT dial redone in white too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 You can get the MBW/MBK with two different Dials. One with yellow writing one with white writing. Normally it will shipped with the two Dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predfan2001 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The MBW 5512 is about the only one I've seen that doesn't have yellow script. I ended up modifying a 5517 dial to have white lettering on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgpp63 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well the MBK may be an option if it does indeed come with two dials or I could be guarenteed a white script on one I purchased otherwise it may just have to be an "aged" yellowey" dial. The 5517 looks good but the lugholes would be too big if I removed the fixed bars ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The latest 5513 I saw recently had a slightly yellowish print. MBK may make another dial with whiter lettering or offer it as an option, but I do not believe the 5513 automatically comes with 2 dials. I would recommend that you contact Eurotimez to see what is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgpp63 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just come across Trusty's cheaper 5513 at $198, it does appear to have white print on the dial, anyone got any experience with it ? http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=216 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry jgpp63, there just isn't much to chose from. My advise is get a 5517 if you can live with the strap, otherwise you'll be beating your head against a wall....I've been doing it for over a year.

alligoat Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Trusty's will have the white lettering and the yellow markers, but not a great dial. Like freddy said, check with Eurotimez and see if he can get you an MBK w/ a dial with white print and fairly white markers. Pred's been there and so have I, this ain't an easy task. I ended up putting a 5513 dial in my 5513 case- white print and yellow markers- it's OK, but it was a compromise. I spent $150 on the 'refinished' dial, but I keep hoping the yellow markers will fade to white or off-white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTimez Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Got off the phone today with MBK / MBW, chatted with him a bit, and I asked him several days ago to make a 5513 dial in white! So today I follow-up on it and he agreed and have it already ordered from his factory. So stay tuned as I will get them as soon as they're done Check my section for other MBK watches, or even better my website www.eurotimez.com --eurotimez catalog/MBK He said however or I might be mistaken, that he didn't made the 5513 in white writing before. So I don't know how tribal could have gotten a white 5513 dial -you sure it MBK?-. Maybe I heard it wrong as sometimes I get lost in our conversations as I order stuff and we chat about all sorts of things. He said it would take about a month to complete the dials, so I'll be the first to know when its done he said.

If so, I would be very interested as I'm certain many others are also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Hi Tribal, the pics shows a 5512 dial not a 5513... The 5513 he never made in white dial, I specifically ask him to make these ones for me and he agreed. So they're in the making now and he will contact me when they're done. Any MBK dials are straightly available from me....

ubiquitous Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 MBK 5513 has always been the gilt font as far as I can recall; the no date SCOC dial is a 5512, as Eurotimez pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Watchmaster's old photo catalog from 2 years ago & he showed the 5513 MBW with the gilt dial only.
