Thanks Pete, i have not used any thing yet and rest assured it won't be a cc cloth. The other acrylic remedies sound more promising. Eric

The ZF maker and V6 is planning to hit it big with IWC s coming into next year.. The ZF has spent a few quid developing a suitable movement with PR and we will be getting to see a lot more IWC reps attempting to be the super reps in the same way the makers id it with PAMs a few years back now... They have also bought a few gens to work with and there is plenty to come on the IWC front with these new PR movements ... The only small detail is they are or will be 3 day rather than 7 but you wont be able to tell with the way they will be configured especially in models like the 5002 etc The net few coming are the newer Top Gun Ceramic models including the Miramar then after that the Big pilot etc etc These are totally new movements so dont judge them on what we have had in the past

I have some links laying about from a watch i dont have anymore happy to send them out to you mate I am in UK

Heres a few vids of it http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/mobile/znt2015091403_2ce9ff286.html http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/mobile/znt2015091402_6d2ba3d4b.html http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/mobile/znt2015091401_3b7d0cbf6.html Ryan a TD dealer elsewhere wasnt to complimentary about it and did say he wasnt impressed with the build and AR was poor gave it a milky look... other than that I havent heard much about it yet

Nice decoration on those bridges mate...whats that signature say? Is it maker or a custom build for individual?

Hi, A few things. A yuki 3135 is around $340 dollars. So if you need parts for a yuki you don't need to go gen to fix it. Buy another yuki. A Gen parts are very expensive and one part could cost you the price of a a Yuki movement. Yes you need to service it the day you get it. Yes there are a few parts that equal to around $300 dollars that you should change just because those parts are weak on the Yuki. I will post a pic of them. From memory it was the date changing gears, the min, hour pinions, winding gears and seconds train wheel. I would also do to auto winding gears in the back but not a must do. Understand that all the talk of TC 2824 and the Elabore grade...... It's a ETA clone. I can order you a brand new ETA 2824 from start time for $160 dollars. That is new gen ETA. TC makes a great watch. I have owned 3. I can tell you that they are great as is. You don't have to change anything. But you hand that watch to me. I can by just adjusting the time tell you that it is fake. But so is my watch that has the Yuki in it. Difference is that a Yuki, winds and adjust just like a 3135. All Gen parts fit a Yuki. Not a TC. You can get gen hands, date wheel, dial, even parts to dress up the Yuki. I did because I am a nut case. LOL. The back on a rolex is not clear so no one is going to see it so there is no need to change it. I would take your TC and either wear it as is and enjoy. Or if you want to have fun, get a yuki, source, gen hands, date wheel, dial, all which Misiekped who is on this forum can get and do for you. Have him replace the parts that wear easy on the Yuki, I would even get a gen crystal and Bezel insert. Have Misiekeped do it all for you and your watch will be a life long watch. It will behave and wind and adjust and run as a well oiled Rolex 16610 with a 3135. You could put that watch in the hands of any Rolex guy and he will not be able to tell that it is not real until he opens it. So the advantage to the Yuki, to me, is that it is a hell of a movement once it is cleaned oiled and serviced with some parts. At the end of the day though understand that with all the things to make the Yuki run well will cost you around $700 including the price of the movement where a clone ETA is $100 dollars. But your still $1000 less than a Gen 3135. Good thing is TC cases take 3135 with out modding. Robert Here are the parts that are changed on the YUKI for real rolex parts.

Long workout with my Explorer

Because the blue one is a closed caseback and limited edition ... the blue one you see would be fantasy for what maters . and ZF should be the best option so wait is what you need to do ...
