Hi, my IWC GST stopped going yesterday, can you recommend me where to send it in Europe for a repair. Thanks psda

Hi, the last watch I got from him (to Vienna), a Seamaster PO was brought by the EMS courier and I had to pay EUR 9.- for duties. For the first one which was sent by regular mail the customs office in Hohenems required a copy of the pp payment which I sent them and they made me pay EUR 19. So up to now all watches passed customs without bigger problems. If you want to get my advise in German please pm me. Cheers, psda

Yeah, I bought it as an OEM from the above linked dealer: http://search.stores.ebay.com/X-Jewelry-Ce...9346291QQsofpZ0 Ok, but maybe the watch is off and the dealer's bezel was ok. The watch was from 22hour.com, maybe of Russian provenance (the parcel came from Riga) and this site looks good but I paid my dues there, big time. If the bezel had an outer diameter of 38 mm it would fit perfectly.

I just wanted you to know that I ordered the bezel, it arrived and I was able to glue it in. It was a tad smaller than the first one, but what can I do. Thx to you all for your help. Forgive the quality of the pic. Cheers, psda

By the way: Pierre Curie died exactly one hundred years ago, on April 19. He discovered the piezoelectric effect that is still being used in quartz watches.

Hi Esteban, servus from Vienna.

That's a nice example on how to lose money fast. Look also at the the position of the "N" of SCHAFFHAUSEN and the dots between the numbers and the bars on the dial.

If you or somebody else want the whole magazine I could make it available to you, maybe I scan it and put it on a server? The other watches portrayed are the new: Big Pilot, Spitfire Chronograph, Pilot's Double Chronograph, Pilot's Watch Special Ed Saint Exupéry, the Spitfires, Portuguese Chrono- Automatic Edition Laureus, Portuguese Perpetual Calendar, Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère, Portuguese Minute Repeater, Portuguese Chrono Automatic, the new black ceramic cases, Aquatimer "Calypso". And interviews with Jean Alesi and Cate Blanchett. I tried to scan the page instead of posting a foto but that exceeded the space limit. Cheers psda

I was in Schaffhausen two weeks ago and took the latest IWC magazine with me. I'll attach you a copy of the page with the new Pilot's Watches incl. the Mark XVI. To my untrained eyes the watches don't look bad at all. Cheers psda

No, I was just swimming to see if the watch is water- proof. Obviously it was the water that made the bezel fall off. It was only fixed with an adhesive tape. Every 2-component epoxy adhesive would have lasted centuries longer than I'm able to swim. Cheers psda

Thanks, but- what is the difference between a full and a mid bezel? The watch has a diameter of 40 mm. So, even in the gens the bezel is only glued to the ring? Please apologize my ignorance.

Thanks a lot.

I've bought a Omega SMP from a now defunct dealer (22hours). After a water immersion test (I went swimming to a lake nearby) the watch was still ok but the bezel was gone. Can anybody please tell me where I coud get a spare one. Thanks psda

Hi, I got the same problem with my IWC (Asian 7750, too).

Thx, I've already emailed him, I'll post what's going on.

This is right, it keeps going even if the crono is off- what can I do?

I've recently received my IWC GST TI from PT. Communication was easy, watch was delivered within a few days to Central Europe, quality of watch is very good (looks like gen, Valjoux 7750 copy, no lume). I can only recommend precious time. Cheers psda

I recently bought an IWC GST TI from him. Fast communication, delivery (to Austria) in 3 working days. I can only recommend PT. Price was ok, too. Cheers psda
