Craytonic Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 You will probably want a new bezel insert for it at the minimum; also a new tropic crystal probably. Shipping is 3-4 weeks to me usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no mentioned of selling it. How much is he asking for? I like it and thank you for warning about luckyyy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchwatcher Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) 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. this MBW came from luckyyy, i had no problems, took about 14days.

ubiquitous Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 A good pearl? The only pearljob I can recommend is genuine... Sometimes you can find the pearls on their own on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
