What does TW and BP stand for? (Watch makers)

[AwesomeMark3]

I am told TW and BP are the popular manufacturer's for Rolex. What do these stand for? What is the full company name?

They are not manufacturers in the traditional sense. Replica goods are highly illegal products...so not exactly a company with shares traded on the Nasdaq. They are more of makers/assemblers. The names are nickname created by rep forum members.

TW is short for TW Best and BP is British Petroleum, duh.

TW is the Third World Factory, BP is Black Pearl Fac
the TW best is also called MBW, like Marias Best Watch although "Maria" was actually a guy

Nowadays Your best bet for the classic 16610 will be TC, for the ceramic one Noob, BP is the competitor with lower prices, might be interesting if they make a new release.
