MBW= "Marias Best Watch" =excellent rep. (Narikaa can still source these I believe)
TWB = "Taiwan Best" = excellent rep. Considered by many to be the Best currently available......bklm1234 is the man to contact for these)
WM9 = "Watchmaker9" = excellent rep (considered by many to have been the best) which leads to.....
TC 16610 = WM9 v4 = excellent rep (considered by many to be the best currently available...TC670207 is the man to see for these)
And yes...don't forget the Noobmariner...which is a supurb budget Sub rep.
As stated, it's really all about what you want, the level of acurracy you're after and what you're willing to spend to get there.
(out of these versions mentioned the Noob is capable of the least amount of modding with gen parts and is the only one mentioned here without gen bezel construction and unable to accept the gen crystal.
And there are variations in the MBW's...some with gen bezel construction...some not. Gen crystal in a MBW...I really don't know for sure...I've never did it.
Excluding the TC 16610 I've owned each of the versions mentioned and you really can't go wrong with any of these. Have fun with it and enjoy your search...you're certainly on the right path where Sub reps are concened
