By-Tor Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Watchmaker 9 Explorer and Explorer II are nothing special. They are the same standard reps that all our dealers can get. I highly recommend sd4k's review of the rep Exp I. Read it here.

r@f Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 i have read the review, it doesnt mention where it was bought from.. Watchmaker 9 Explorer and Explorer II are nothing special. They are the same standard reps that all our dealers can get. I highly recommend sd4k's review of the rep Exp I. Read it here.
r@f Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 Nice!, but is out of my capabilities right now... Gen 16200 case: Pop the cyclops off: Gen 14270 dial: ETA 2824: Add hands:

I highly recommend sd4k's review of the rep Exp I. Read it here. Sorry, you are wrong IMO. WM9s Ex1 is a TW Best. Except from the caseback nothing from the watchhead was interchangeable with the CN rep that the other dealers have. The case is exactly the same as the TW Best 16200 I have.
By-Tor Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 That Explorer II in the WM9 site is terrible. It's "ceased" though... but members shouldn't automatically assume that all his offerings are in the same level with YM & Sub. And I thought Eurotimez can still get the TW Best version of ExpI... for much better price. I could be wrong though. PS: Most new "TW Best" models are the exact same watches as the MBK modern offerings. "TW Best" was just a sales label that EL and River used in the old days. So they're definitely NOT exclusive to WM9. MANY dealers here can source MBK watches.
Nanuq Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 There can only be one "perfect" Explorer. Some day the owner will send it to me, too.
If you see Kay Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Well, the perfect Explorer would be the genuine item from an AD. But I do like ubiquitous's franken. Mmmmmmmmmmm!
miquel Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 I too like Ubi's franken....very sweet project.....hmmmm
r@f Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 So as i understand, Eurotimez could be the way to go... Can someone tell me what MBK is ?.. Regards
Star69 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 you know that the Explorer is a woman's watch ? no serious : don't waste your time with this MBW/MBK/WM9/TW-BEST/TW-Steel [censored] ..... send an PM to Precious Time and take one with the so called Swiss movement. cheers, Frank
