Luckyyy have pictures on his section. Im getting i hope my two Mbw:s 16613 real sone. He told me he shipped them the 28th of may. But no watches yet. I dont know how long it shold take with thai post.
Ofcourse its not solid any fool can understand that they are liying. But Mbw:s should be mbw:s i dont like it if Luckyyy sells the same watches everyone else does. Then why buy frome luckyyy.vdubpower said:eddies is the rivers one, and i bet the lucky one is the same, maybe he switched the bracelet witha solid gold one but otherwise the same
i hightly doubt the SEL is solid gold, bet u just plated

MBW may not have the lug holes on case
Ok good to know that wont be buying mbw:s anymore now then only old ones.
The real question is not in the case or the band, but the details of the watch itself. I am more intereseted these days in things like the bezel, OEM crystals, etc. I have read that MBW's take OEM parts. Does the bezel take a snap in insert like the original or does it have to be glued in like the rest of the dealers. Can it take an OEM crystal. Do they have the thin font like the orginal or does it have that thicker font like all the other dealers. These are things that jump right out at me when I spot a sub on any arm these day. I know most people dont notice this but When I see a crystal that is too thin or an insert that looks like it does not fit down inside the bezel but more on top of the bezel those are my dead give aways. CGs are another. I just dont understand if they are making these bezels for these watches and I am sure they are, how many other watch companies do you see using SD bezels and vintage design bezels. Why cant they just cut a small lip around the edge so a bezel insert could be snaped in instead of having to clue the damn thing down.
