MBW Group Buy from TTK!
- Thread starter pugwash
- Start date
Wassup subbie.....your disposable income tight this month.....that's understandable.....you really should take the $350 and spend it on socks.....!
You can of course elect to abandon the discount and pay full market price for an MBW which I believe is currently $450 from George.......pay me $450 and I'll guarantee you delivery....or take the discount and rely on my good nature.
But as you have an agenda...( 'cos I made you look like a dingDong )...then I don't expect that I'll see an e-mail from you asking to enter the group buy...which will indeed save me the time in dispensing the prerequisite advice regarding sex and travel.
Because you're saving $100, of course. He'll do you the whole guarantees kit and kaboodle for $450, as per.sub4me said:

Everyone knows what they get when they buy from TTK.
He has quality reps. Not everyone likes the communication aspect of the transaction, however,
Neil has posted a new set of service standards in his sales forum. Members should view these before
making a decision.
$350 is a great price for an MBW. There is risk associated with every rep purchase so
dont gamble more than you can afford to lose!
We are not going to re-hash old threads in this thread please. Thxs.

Your brilliant, but last I seen he was selling for ~330 Euro (+shipping)... 330.00 EUR = 434.730 USD which is inline with what everyone else said ($450).olivia said:
Thanks for your valuable input.

Risking $350 with Nelly with no delivery gurantee, no communation, not knowing when or if it may arrive and not to mention the risk if it arrives damaged or broken and Nelly saying its not my problem, all this to save $100? Not worth it in my book.
If theses watches were that well made and in that great of demand there would be an endless supply of them available to almost all dealers. The fact that only a few can be sourced or found is suspious at the least. Whos to say it is a MBW and takes gen parts and if it doesn't WTF are you gonna do? As I stated before stick with the good Subs our dealers already have. Don't chase pie in the sky that may or may not exist.
Now you're just being daft. You're inventing problems that don't exist and then arguing against them. This is called a Strawman and is the last refuge of a desperate debater.sub4me said:
These watches (the two on the right) were bought from the source Neil will be using. Everyone knows what they are and their wholesale prices. The group buy came around partly because I refused to send my brother to the Thai store to pick up dozens of extras and being lambasted for it.
Yea I see so many of those MBWs around, infact memebers post endless pics of them, LOL. Hey if you can get them so easily why are are they so hard to find?? Cut the BS and your shilling for TTK.
OK guys...I'll say it again...PLAY NICE!!!!!! No need to bring up old stuff here. This was a thread to judge interest in an MBW...lets leave it it that. I would say that sub4me is a no. And Neil, is there really any reason for you to throw out insults????
We try to behave like adults here and everybodys cooperation in that is greatly appreciated.
Everyones opinions are welcome here but there is no need for anyone to throw manners out the door..... :wink:
Thanks

Please, stop showing your misinformed knowledge.sub4me said:
There is one source for these so-called MBW watches. It's a stall in MBK shopping centre in Bangkok. This is a well documented fact that has recently become common knowledge thanks to the efforts of a certain Leonado, who you would know, if you've followed any threads he's posted, is possibly the furthest from either a friend of Pugwash or a shill for TTK.
Also, I am not a TTK shill. My reasons for posting this offer here have nothing to do with increasing TTK's sales, and I believe the RWI admins will back me up on that. I posted here so that RWI, this very community, wouldn't be left behind.
I love how you're now professing that MBWs are commonplace when everyone that has been on these forums longer than a few weeks will tell you that they have never seen more than one or two openly offered for sale by a dealer in the last six months. You've been here since the beginning, iirc, and you must remember how hard it was to find anyone even willing to tell you who to ask to try to buy one.
So, please stop making shit up to sound like the big man and try to put everything behind you and accept for once that just because someone you dislike is doing something, it doesn't instantly make it evil.
Which only points to the fact that if these were so good they wouldn't be sold from one little stall, they would be everywhere and all dealers would have them. Listen up I'm sure there are MBW watches but lets not act like there the perfect Sub, now run along puggy.
Please read the moderator's comment above.sub4me said:
To reply to your points: They're only sold publicly on one stall: This isn't speculation.
They're not the best Subs ever made, and if you read all the posts I've ever made on the subject you'll see that I actively agree with you and have done so for a very long time. I have tried to dispel any myths around them that have cropped up.
I posted this thread as a public service, not as part of an agenda.
To reiterate what's widely known:
These watches are the ideal bases for making the perfect vintage Subs and Seadwellers as they are made if high-grade steel (higher than most other Sub reps) and they take genuine bezels, crystals, tubes/crowns, bezel inserts, etc. They are not perfect out-of-the-box replicas even thought they're not bad at all. They need to have money and effort thrown at them to make them as good as the myth makes them out to be, but once that's done, they are unbeatable.
If you want a buy, unwrap and wear rep, I'd suggest something cheaper.
For instance, if you're looking for a Sub for your dad, Heather, then don't get this one.
Exactly and there so sought after and highly regarded that only one little old Asian man and his wife with a secret booth in an open mall sale them. Not even Andrew or Josh can compete with this stall at the mall. Please get real, this only sets others up to expect something that just isn't realistic. Even if it does except a gen bezel, crown, or whatever does it really matter its still a rep dude. Ala FluffyBalls. LOL

It would be nice to know why he did not announce this in his Sales Section on RWI ?
edit: He being TTK
I don't understand your FluffyBalls reference at the end.sub4me said:
I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said by people better than me about these watches. Are you honestly disagreeing with Ubiquitous, By-Tor, Tribal, RBJ, Ziggy, Sherrington, Falco, or any of the dozens of experts I've not mentioned that have stated these watches are the best choice for vintage modding? Seriously, saying they're overhyped (true) is one thing, but dismissing them merely because Joshua can't get them is another thing completely.
He didn't announce it in his sales section on RWG either: It grew out of a discussion thread. I'm just publicising it here. In fact, TTK has never started a thread on this subject.
perhaps pw just beat him to the punch..
