manuel Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 what seems to be an unmodified mbw red sub if I am correct. You can see the thread here: hxxp://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1210446158/How+does+this+one+look+guys- No need to say more.

dluddy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 a classic example of the subtle approach.....I'm thinking about buying this one...how does it look? Definately a rep....not sure if it is an MBW dial though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Who is that guy? I hope he's not one of our forum members... and I hope one of our forum members isn't selling his MBW as a gen. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about red 1680 can call out the MBW dial in 2 seconds. What a moron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 There is no sense in trying to trick those guys. They can see right through the best attempts at forgery. If your junk is not 100% correct you will be called out. Best to stick with the other 99% of the population and leave the WIS alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 And many of those guys frequent the rep forums so they're well aware of the stuff we have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I saw that post yesterday on the VFR- took one look at it and said that's an MBW- now who the heck would go posting an MBW on VFR? The bracelet shot was not in SD3's bunch of pics that I could see- a 78360, which is an incorrect bracelet, of course. Hopefully it's a case of stuff stolen over the internet- but then it means some unscrupulous person is trying to scam someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 would have these WIS have noticed a dial from ndt-dials? Imo there are very good aftermarket dials out there. you better not play with those hardcore collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) tmc, have you ever tried to tell apart the differences between your j&w montecarlo and the swiss made one? the montecarlo aint a popular rep/franken. If I ever see a montecarlo like yours I would not be able to tell from the swiss...lovely watch yours. Edited May 14, 2008 by manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 would have these WIS have noticed a dial from ndt-dials? Imo there are very good aftermarket dials out there. you better not play with those hardcore collectors. I wouldn't try to slide an NDT dial past these guys- unless it had been aged a bunch. These new aftermarket dials just look too 'new'. And of course, I wouldn't try to get anything past them unless it was gen- just not worth it IMO.

Sir-Lancelot Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Agree, I have seen them eat their own on more that one occasion, so I can imagine what they would do to us "Fakers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 what an idiot - and yes even an NDT dial is soooo wrong - there is no good "red" 1680 rep dial out there - sadly ... so - who was it ? Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 this isnt good. Yet another reason for everyone to watermark their pics.. Who the hell is this Brady guy anyways? dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Actually the guy on the gen forum doesn't know all... the red 1680 also comes with the "modern" coronet and ROLEX font. It's a rare variation though. The coronet position is different though. My 1680 MBW (left) vs. gen. The red SUBMARINER font is totally wrong on the MBW, and it was the biggest reason I got rid of my rep. It's totally obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I love the mbw 1680. A red submariner with new dial dots and new case is very suspicious. Also that insert didnt help that much. I prefer the white because of that. I think that there is no need to point to someone. It is just that we and this hobby should start under the radar. There are people out there that dont understand this hobby and see this comunity as posers or deceivers. Nothing would be more wrong. It is very easy for them to point at this forum and say that we try to make better reps just for cash from ingenue collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
