Where can I find a MBW 1680?

[trekracer20]

I'm looking for a good 1680 red rep, but the one on Joshua's site looks different from the ubiquitous "MBW" 1680 I've read about. The lume is too brown, especially, and I don't know if it will take gen parts. MBW isn't actually a dealer, so where do I find a "MBW" red 1680?

Thanks,

MK

They're about $400+. TTK should have them in stock soon.

Thanks, Pugwash. That was a super-fast reply!

Is it just the specialty dealers that can get them? And why are they so expensive compared to the standard $188 or so of most dealers' subs?

note MBW watches take genuine parts.
thats why they are expensive.

However, if u just buy a rep and dont want to modify it.
U may be better of doing more searching ... but if u want
to have the ultimate vintage rolex rep and prepare to
modify it, then MBW is the way to go.

there is a thread on MBW 1680 which u can read.

only a particular MBW takes gen parts. I'm seeing aorund the forums of the 16610 not taking gen parts.

Only the Bangkok-Best (MBW, WM, TTK-WBM) 1680 and 1665 reps take gen parts.

Pugs answer may be the most direct about where to get an MBW i have seen. Usually all I see is "seek and ye shall find" garbage answers.
