nicko 0 Posted March 26, 2011 Looking for one to buy and have modded. I'd like to find one here with all the work done but if I can't I'd like to buy one and have it sent to be modded. Any help on where or how I can do this. I am not handy doing any mods myself so it would have to be sent out for the work. I'm in Spain by the way. Thanks!

ww12345 0 Posted August 6, 2011 The age-old question... It depends on what you are looking for; ie: economy vs. quality. On the one end, you have the cartel - Puretime, which is mostly-ish right, vs. Josh/Andrew who are less modded - non-gen springbars, smaller datewheel opening, etc. On the other end, you have MBW, which will set you back about $400, but should provide an excellent base for mods. They mostly take gen parts, sometimes you might come across one that doesn't, however. My suggestion would be to find the model number you like, and then search the forums for that number. Then, read everything! My recommendations for modders would be JMB or PBdad - I've worked with JMB, and he does fantastic work. I don't know of anyone in the EU, offhand. Good luck!

ww12345 0 Posted August 6, 2011 We have MBW??? Don't we? Did I misspeak? :S I had Narikka pick up a MBW or MBK 1016 earlier this year...maybe MBK... Why do we have to use acronyms! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twall 1 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) We have MBW??? Don't we? Did I misspeak? :S I had Narikka pick up a MBW or MBK 1016 earlier this year...maybe MBK... Why do we have to use acronyms! Cause it keeps up the secrecy thing - like using the first names of the dealers - just to confuse people who haven't scoured the forum first before ordering! I, myself, beleive it is part of a grand anti-noob conspiracy. Edited August 6, 2011 by twall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ww12345 0 Posted August 6, 2011 I remember when I first started and was confused as ****! I kept thinking, "Who are all these people?" One other option for the OP: troll the sales forums, both here and on RWI, rwgforum, and repgeek. Something will come up, if you wait long enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted August 6, 2011 Well... MBW is Maria Best Watches, a guy in Thailand, named George, who used to build great Subs many years ago. No more. MBK (MahBoonKrong) is a shopping mall in the center of Bangkok, there's a small watch shop, that used to sell MBW watches. Noooobzzz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
