Help me identify if this is the MBW case

Dial is definitely not MBW.

The MBW dials have a large gap between OYSTER PERPETUAL. The 'R" in Oyster is under the 'O' in ROLEX, but the 'P' in Perpetual starts far too right about halfway under the 'L' in ROLEX on the MBW dials.

Yeah, that's the old, original MBW dials your're talking about, the newer watches don't have the same dials, the same serial numbers etc etc - they are different watches, probably not even made by the same factory.

Yes, I am talking about the old dials. I previously owned the MBW 5512, 1665, and 6538 back in 2008/09...wish I still had them

I also got this dial with the package, apparently it should be mbw dial.

Needs a clean up tho.

Plan for the wach is to have the case repolished like the case in this thread. Possible?

I know I’m late to the party but I wanted to say that Tripdog is correct in all regards. This is an MBW case. The dial looks like the second generation of MBW dials that would prob match the L342xxx serial number. My MBW 5513 case is a L341xxx as it’s one of the originals that I bought off a RWG member about 12 years ago.
