It was a review of the watch from him. There was no mentioned of selling it. How much is he asking for?

I like it and thank you for warning about luckyyy.

cray/cwai,

where are you sourcing the insert from, how about sources for a decent pearl?

the watch looks nice as is, but dial mkrs are painted and need luming, cgs should be thinned a bit and i'd also install 2mm springbars. also, bracelet needs a little work to take off sharp edges and polish inside. when you're done, it looks and feels like a gen.

If you're going the distance to buy an MBW, I would say that it most certainly deserves some mods...

Here is how they arrive stock:

Add a genuine insert and genuine Tropic 127:

And you get this:

Want to know the best way to improve the look of your watch to make it appear as close to genuine as possible? Add genuine parts! Follow up with a gen crown and tube set up, mill the CG's, drill the lugs and you're set!

That was a review for modding.

Btw, by-tor is selling it here.
