Want to know if this dial is correct. I know the seconds are at 9. Just wanna know if all numerals are correctly positioned. Was advertised as MBW.







Thanks for all info! :)

Not really, altought it's really good.
- 12 subsecond quadrant should sit lower on the dial
- 9 subquadrant 10 and 20 are inverted??
- no magnification for the date,
- ...experts will probably find other flaws...

here is a pict of the GEN



and the MBW

Thanks juanstar, thats what i thought..... You have any idea who might have came out with that version? Seller insists its from MBW....

Possible MBW has other versions? :)



Cheers!!

No way that is a MBW....all MBWs I've seen have the correct date mag...or at least close as possible. U might as well get that watch from one of the dealers since it should be much cheaper than a MBW. Josh has some new AP ROO out with a square date window....no mag but they look alot better than that tiny circle, IMO.

....listen to the members from above...that def. NOT an MBW....the date mag is the cheaper asian version!

The new AP´s from Josh and Andrew are not that good....OK, they might have a bigger, squared date window....but the date lense sits under the crystal....buah, how silly is that?
.....why are they doing this?...They use the new 7750B1 witch is thinner in construction in the center-pin (high-cannon-pin)...this movement does not allow a 3-piece dial to place a nice date-lense on the first dial-level!

....I gladly pay the extra cash to get a proper date....otherwise I´d stare on that date every 10 sec. :p

Just my 0.02$
